Now we'll see if Russia can do what Finland couldn't, step up the offence while not doing defensive mistakes.

Yup, the Swedish commentators thought it should be a no-goal and a tripping call.

The Russians are pressuring, but open up for mistakes at behind. There have been a couple of good scoring chances for both teams.

Russia robbed by the ref, in anyway you look.

Either it was a goal or it was a tripping by Strålman.

Well, well, can't call the ref homer at least :)

very nice goal..
but there was something...
how come Haritonov was hooked and Morozov executed penalty shot?
in NHL the player offended must do the shot

That's something completely different, this is a friendly :)

The penalty was incorrect, but you where robbed before so it evens out (like the man who crapped on his bicycle seat said) :)

I knew Morozov would do that backhand move, it's his favourite one. If I was a Swedish goaltender coach, I would have yelled at our goalie to go all out on the glove.

I can understand why Morozov prefers that move though, he's very good at it and it's very tough to save.

And yeah, he doesn't play in NHL because no franchise would pay him $4 million I think, as he earns in RSL.
