it will not be easy, keep an eye on Frk and score first. Do not let the Czechs go up by two at any point of the game.

 

There is nothing that would make me happier than to see the Russians get relegated with an 0-3 round robin. Please, please, please Czechs -- let's find a way to win this one!!!

Canadians are all behind ya!!

 

I don't know. Russia's team is good enough to "deserve" to advance to the medal round, though I probably am cheering for Czech as well - more because of the upset value than anything else.

 

One hour after midnight? I'm not sure I going to be able to watch this game

 

Russia vs Czech Republic ... anyone have a stream link ?

Russia vs Czech Republic Dec 31 7:00 anyone have a stream ?

 

The game is not for another 3 hours, some streams should pop up 5-10 minutes before it starts.. I'm sure there'll be a few of those posted in the game thread

 

I'll be there

 

I wonder what would happen if Russian fans went into the say, Canada vs Sweden thread and just wrote "hope Canada loses no matter what!!!111"

 

Yeah, he looks like he can get under the players' skin. I'm also worried that if Russia falls behind, they will start getting frustrated and may not be able to turn the game around, so we definitely need to take the lead and force the Czechs to open up and go on the offensive.

From what I've seen, they look like a scrappy bunch too, so Russia will need to stay disciplined, which given their play so far, may be a challenge.

 

anyone else attending?

 

can't go down by two by any means.

 

that's why I am rooting for the swedes now - 'cause of dumb yahoo can. statements of such sort.

 

so assuming the US beat Switzerland, the winner of Russia/Czech Republic plays Finland in the Quarters. who does the winner of that match play?

 

i tend not to look that far. With the problems USA has injury wise and Swiss getting better - it's not a given, while still very likely

 

say hello to all of Canada rooting against Russia today))

 

Winner of Finland vs Czech/Russia will play Sweden and winner of Canada vs Switzerland will play U.S.A. I think

 

correct me if i'm wrong

 

we are playing again in that bum-arena...

 

ok, let me rephrase that, the winner of RUS/CZE plays vs US/FIN. what's the semis matchup?

 

still no stream links

 

invest into russian tv - www.rutelevision.com....btw they give the first 3 days for free.

 

I've seen that before, but thought it's some kind of scam haha

I have Channel 1 from our cable provider and livetv.ru usually works for hockey/soccer, so I'm going to cheap out

 

ok, it's not a scam...
