GDT: Group B - February 14 - Slovakia (3) vs Russia (2)

[DEVILS130]

Wow 2-2

 

[Kshahdoo]

Nesterov and Koshechkin at their best.

 

[Jussi]

Tie game!

 

[Jakk123]

Ofc Kovalchuk gets away with a slash and now Cajkovsky goes out.

 

[tobu]

So a tied game after the first. Russia was all over Slovakia for 90% of the period, yet Slovaks scored 2 on rushes.

 

[Night_Vole]

Koshechkin looking really shaky so far. It's a shame cause they played a great first period.

 

[tobu]

Aright, so the Olympic Athletes were way better than Slovaks, but Olympic Athlete Koshechkin's lack of focus cost them the lead.

 

[tobu]

So despite that iron, Olympic Athletes are moving the puck too slowly on the PP.

 

[tobu]

Finally some good hockey past 2-3 minutes.

 

[Jablkon]

Slovakia looking very good! Only negative is that russian/olympic athletes first line doesnt look bad either

 

[tobu]

Slovakia has definitely upped their game after their quick two goals. Olympic Athletes from Russia still better, and always will be technically, but tactically Slovakia has settled in the game and mid way through has a shot at a good result.

 

[Elvs]

Hah, Daloga. Not often you see someone try to rip a backhander from the point.

 

[tobu]

Great past 5 minutes from Slovakia, totally different team on ice than in the 1st.

 

[izzy]

guess this is what happens when you dont take the best players and just pick from two teams

 

[tobu]

I love Daloga, amazing skater. If only he'd score on his chances!

 

[izzy]

what is going on

 

[tobu]

Well Olympic Athletes from Russia dodged one there. Loved this period, Slovakia the better team last 5 minutes, who would have thought.

 

[Jablkon]

And you won the contest for the coolest president in the world.

 

[penepi]

Point would be amazing here, but am not very optimistic. We tend to shit a brick when there is a good result withing reach, and OAR will play at 120%.

 

[Fantomas]

This is going about as badly as anticipated.

 

[Mestaruus]

I just realized that Oleg Snarok looks like a Walrus.

 

[Fried Tree Sap]

Russia is taking a lot of really stupid delay of game penalties here....

 

[tobu]

I just realized that Oleg Snarok looks like a Walrus.

You crack me up

 

[Mestaruus]

You crack me up

 

[tobu]

Let's take this home baby! 3-2 for Slovakia
