close game as usual. well, lucky us. barulin looked pretty solid up there like a Starting Goalie
Nothing, Bilyaletdinov is not an idiot to break an awesome line.Will be interesting what Ovechkin does with Malkin
Well, a decent game. Barulin was solid, Malkin was a superhero.
Sadly, Datsyuk and Kuznetsov continue to disappoint. When Alexanders come, Kuzya and Shirokov or Zherdev get demoted, and rightfully.
Pavel still looks not healthy. Defensemen were okay, but missing hipchecks too often.
Hope now for a relatively easy game against Italy.

In Bill we trust!
I can remember last time we were so orginised. Like it!
And you know what? I don't see a room for Ovi and Semin in this team
Not even over Shirokov or Zherdev?? They haven't done much and are not exactly defensive players. Especially Zherdev...
Man, we must be the softest team in the tournament. Sweden will destroy us with this attitude.
well, we didnt have many opportunities either. we were lucky to score at the very beginning and that clearly affected the flow of the game. the game was close and the score is a result of few mistakes which fortunately for us were made be czechs and it would be incorrect to say we played so much better that the win is well deserved hence i allowed myself to use the word luckI don't think Luck is the right word at all and takes credit away from the team. The team made this game, the deserve it. It's not like Czechs had many opportunities to put it away.

if i were a Russian fan i would be concerned about Ovie and Semen
joining the team especially in the quarter finals.
your team is gelling together nicely now,this could possibly turn out to be a disaster.
well if they had been tied, or even down the result could easily be in favor of czechsit's important not to forget that Russia was not focusing on trying to score, they were waiting for mistakes. I'm sure if they had been tied, or even down- we would've see A LOT more opportunities and chances from Russia

I think we can beat them if we improve at couple of areas. But I've seen a notable improvment today. Sure we can easily lose that game, but according to what I've seen today we have a chance.
You never know, but Germany shouldn't be a big problem IMO.
Well, I guess we see it differently..
I still don't think luck is the right word to describe Russia's victory today. I'm pretty sure the players And coaches would be insulted if that's what people thought of their effort.
I also don't think Czechs would call this game a lucky win for the Russians.

I strongly disagree that the game was evenly played and that the margin of victory was a couple of fortunate bounces. Last year, if you will recall, the Czechs were buzzing all over the ice, getting offensive chance after chance. We were lucky the margin wasn't 5 or 6 goals. This year, it wasn't as if the Czechs just got unlucky - they had the ice taken away from them by a suffocating defense. The Czechs only had maybe two or three decent opportunities all day long (one crossbar was hit), but for the most part, their offense was totally frustrated. Russia's defense dominated, and the team earned a well-deserved victory.
