Pre-Game Talk: IIHF World Championship 2019

[ovikovy817]

Next Friday, the World Championship starts in Slovakia.

Ovechkin, Kuznetsov, Orlov, Vrana, Jaskin and Eller will play for their countries.
The Russian Caps are good.

Russia just won an EHT game, the last before the Worlds, against Czech Republic. 4-1.

1st goal : Kaprizov (Ovi, and the officials stole the 2nd assist from Kuzya, if I saw correctly)
2nd goal : Kuzya on a breakaway. (Anisimov)
3rd goal : Orly (Kuzya, Ovi)
4th goal : EN : Kuzya (Kaprizov, Ovi)

This is the 2nd game for the Caps trio, in the 1st one, Ovi scored and Kuzya had the assist on the lone goal.

I hope Kuznetsov uses this tournament to gain some confidence for next season.

I think Riat has a chance to play for Switzerland as well, correct?

Confidence has never been what ails Kuzy.

Was it ever reported why Carlson didn’t play for team USA

 

[ovikovy817]

Eller with a goal and he also scored in the shootout

 

[QuietContrarian]

Eller had 3 pts 1g 2a in the 9-0 w over GB.

Has left the wc now, and will not play anymore games this wc.

Quoted as not caring about meaningless 2nd fiddle tournaments.

 

[Calicaps]

Eller had 3 pts 1g 2a in the 9-0 w over GB.

Has left the wc now, and will not play anymore games this wc.

Why? Injury?

Interesting. Injury related? He was “banged up” heading into the tournament

Yep. Just read on RMNB it was the same LBI that he played through in rhe Caps series

Probably not the best choice to keep playing.

 

[Raikkonen]

In Russian media it was said Eller had an agreement with his hockey federation that he would play 3 games and then leave. Sounds strange but they did exactly that it seems.

 

[Raikkonen]

Do you see anything familiar in this photo?

 

[QuietContrarian]

Why? Injury?

He apparently had a deal of sorts with the coach, to just play 3 games...

Oshie-Fu.....Crane style!

 

[BiPolar Caps]

Do you see anything familiar in this photo?

The Oshie "fire hydrant" move!
