[ThinMcWhistle]

2-1 Russia. Mezin will come up big for Belorussia.

 

[Slitty]

6-3 or 4-2 Russia with 2 goals by Zaripov.

 

[hifk88]

5-3 Russia.

 

[SIBIR]

4 - 3 Russia. 2+1 Zaripov

 

[Like Wall]

I won't go deep into predictions, but I think this will be a tough game.

 

[Marshall]

Ovechkin takes the ice against his NHL coach's team. Interesting.

 

[Tritsche]

Russia will win, but in a tough game.

I say 3:2

Semin
Sushinsky
Arkhipov
Grabovsky
Dudik

Maybe Kopat or isn't Salo in the net...

 

[Alessandro Seren Rosso]

3-1 Russia. Grabovsky will score

 

[Kaizer]

lol.. commentator just said interesting thing about Ovechkin... he asked AO before the game about probable concussions for AO, Kotsov and Kulyash after hits in game against Kazakhstan... AO smiled and answered : "Machines aren't broken"

 

[Kaizer]

Ovechkin hits the post on penalty shot

 

[Kaizer]

damn.. Koltsov hits the same post

 

[Peter25]

I have a feeling this will be a low scoring game.

EDIT: LOL, Russia scored right after I wrote this.

 

[Kaizer]

Emeleev makes it 1-0 from the slot on PP ... Beautiful combination... we played with them with one line during 1 min. and 30 secs. and in result Emeleev was left alone on the slot

 

[Kaizer]

damn... Corovikov and Mikhnov didn't realise how they didn't score

 

[Kaizer]

Mikhnov showed very nice stickhandling

 

[Peter25]

Mikhnov showed very nice stickhandling

He looks big and slow, but has very good hands. Looks a little like Roman Oksyuta.

 

[Panopticon]

The refs really really suck in this tournament... the penalty on Ovechkin was a bad joke.

 

[Kaizer]

Nice hit

Edit : On replay it looks like Elbowing by Kostitsyn

 

[Peter25]

Ref is givint lots of penalties. I hope he lets them play.

 

[Kaizer]

Good hit by Ovechkin on replay... Very good one

 

[Peter25]

It looks like this game will not be a blowout like the game against Kazakstan.

 

[Kaizer]

It looks like this game will not be a blowout like the game against Kazakstan.

Well.. we have tons of moments but luck is on their side (2 posts) and Mezin proves that he is very good goalkeeper.

 

[Peter25]

Another penalty to Russia. Have they been deserved?
