Sbornaja 7 - Norge 1

I doubt it, we're a bit rusty.

 

[XokkeyGuy]

Russia 4-2.

 

[AgentBrodeur]

kucherov 3rd line center?

 

[Lambo]

RUS win 2:1

 

[Nexon]

No way it will be this close, they are missing some key players. 5-1 is my guess.

 

[kabidjan18]

What I always love about Russia is that they don't give up. They don't slow down after 4, 5 goals. I see this getting to 7-1 at least.

 

[HockeyFan101]

Russia to much firepower. 6-1

 

[Wings4Life]

Despite the terrible lines, Russia will blow Norway out of the water.

 

[Vidy]

5:0 and Dadonov with a goal

 

[AwesomePanthers]

We are gonna get smashed. Missing a few our our key players, and Russia is having a very strong team from the start this year.

This is Russias year to win it IMO.

 

[BigBadBoar]

I see no chance for Norway here. Maybe they can resist for the first period, but at the end, it will be all Russia.

 

[Tomas W]

If just the Russians stars accept that they will have to WORK for it, they will win easy. Now that's not always the case these days. In Soviet Russia they would be sent to Gulag if not 10-0. That's motivation!

 

[MartinS]

who starts in the net for Norway, does anybody know please?

 

[Sava]

Veteran Norwegian defenceman Alexander Bonsaksen will play his 10th IIHF World Championship in Slovakia.

I understand, you kinda joked, but still... Soviet team lost 2 WHCs in a row to Czechs in 1976 and 1977 years. The 1st loss didn't cost anything to the team's head coach Kulagin, despite we lost one of the games to Poland (!) 6-4, but after the 2nd loss he was fired, and Tikhonov came instead. Players weren't affected at all.

Yeah but reality is not fun, gotta go with the myth somtimes

 

[ViD]

Gavrikov (CBJ) is also expected to play

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

9-0 Russia

 

[fouba]

I really like Haukeland and Norway, but I cant see how this is not going to be a destruction. Expecting Russian powerplay to be soo sexy

 

[TheGoldenGod]

Russia should dominate this tournament

 

[TheGoldenJet]

Russia’s lines have zero chemistry. Scoreless through 8 mins so far.

 

[Wings4Life]

Malkin-Kucherov connection, beautiful chemistry on the PP and both guys will get assists. They should play together at ES, IMO. Malkin great passing on the powerplay to set up Russia's first goal.

 

[Atas2000]
