They will lose.. We are the better team. Just like last year in WC 2010... The Russians can't accept that and revert to dirty plays in order to make up for their lack of skill. An Overrated and forgotten team. 4-2 Cze final.

last years WC-final was bit of an upset, Russia dominated most of that game, this year however i agree, Czechs look much better, all tournament really

 

[AwesomePanthers]

Holy **** they just showed some replays from the game and Artyukhin tackled the Czech defenseman and Radulov laughing and giving him a high-five... classless.. the czech defenseman was bleeding badly too. *******, Artyukhin too!

2-3

Rachunek is not a defenseman

 

[Mirinho]

[petr86]

Rachunek is not a defenseman

[Mirinho]

Rachunek is not a defenseman

[AwesomePanthers]

[TexasTriumph]

[MaNNe]

Good job Czechs i don't see anyone stopping you this year.

 

[Erathian]

Wooohooo, Czechs

 

[timmeh]

yes he is

My bad, the minute-by-minute score thingy I follow has him listed as a center...

 

[Schalkenullvier*]

Nice game. The czechs are a likeable team, the russians.... Not so much

 

[TexasTriumph]

hehehe.. I hope so too .. Didn't think I'd be cheering for Ruutu anytime but first time for everything lol.

 

[Mirinho]

Good job Czechs i don't see anyone stopping you this year.

use arytukhin ... injure jagr, elias, plekanec, pavelec and zidlicky for 2 min penalties and we are done

 

[Mirinho]

I usualy cheer for russia (they are slavonians as we are) ... but today i still can't believe it ... both teams were locked for quarterfinal, both played nice hockey till that moment

Czechs were lucky for that penalty shot, that led to 3:1. Had it not happened, there would have been an OT.

 

[BobDobolina]

Brutal call on that penalty shot. Czechs deserved the win but should have never been awarded a PS on that play.

 

[Ilyeu]

Does anyone have video of the hit? And all his emotion afterwards. Congrats Czech Republic.

 

[Winner]

I see it as a sort of satisfaction for the lack of penalties in the 2nd period.

YLE (Finnish TV) interviewed Elias, on Arthuykin: "That's why he ran away from NHL."

Michalek with neck injury (no concussion), Rachunek with just 3 stitches on his head. According to chief doctor of the Czech team, both should be ready for QF and even for tomorrows game. I think coach will give them a rest tomorrow tho.

This is great news!!!

 

[Rexor]

I'm curious how the IIHF handles this. What a worthless piece of scum this Artyukhin.
According to the Czech team physician, both Michálek and Rachůnek should be alright.
