Both goalies look a bit shaky. Both Slovakian goals were Zvyagins goals. In the first goal he was out of position and second was an easy shot he should have taken.
Ref´s were as bad as usual in this tournament. For example Nikulin played good defence on Russian powerplay when Slovakia had a partial brakeaway. He was a bit out of positin but was able to defend without hooking or holding. He was just playing puck with his stick and he got a 2 holding penalty. Just a moment later, when Ovetchkin broke loose, he was hooked by two Slovakian players. Result: no penalty. This is what pains me. Sometimes they handout a penalty when nothing illegal has happened, sometimes clear penalties are forgiven.
