Still don't give a damn about the results. And neither should anyone else.

That being said, the game in general has had issues under Marjamäki. However, unlike Rautakorpi at the point when things started going downhill, he still has plenty of time to fix them.

Biggest issue is the lack of puck moving right handed defenseman. 7 left handed defenseman who aren't very good with the puck is exactly the opposite what made Marjamäki's teams successful in the past.

So technically there's still plenty of hope for the WHC team with Ristolainen and others being potentially available, but any EHT squad without Juuso Hietanen is SOL.

I didn't realize Russia is dominating EHT so bad, 24 points out of 27 possible and 12 point lead over the next team..

Yeah, Sweden 4-3 in OT. They obviously have way more 3 vs 3 experience, than KHL players.

Overall, we probably looked better, than Swedes, just sucked on PK. Not sure, whom Sweden will add, but we didn't have the 1st line (Panarin - Shipachev - Dadonov), which will obviously help us.

William Karlsson, Marcus Krüger, Jonas Brodin, Alex Edler. Hopefully Nylander.

We didn't play good team defense at all, but it got a little better. Läck gave up one huge softie. I think both teams had a good attitude but were rusty and took bad penalties.

70 years of Russian ice hockey

The U18 team was wearing it too

Nice. Today we are also celebrating 70 years anniversary of our first WHC title in 1947 and we will play first period against swedes in 1947 sweaters replicas. And it is a real knitted sweater!, not like copy of it on new material. If swedes spill some water on us, we will be heavy and down 0:3 after first :)) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=56D3Z92ZAVk
