This is the game of the day, IMO.

Two fast, skilled teams. One a lock to continue and the other with something to prove.

Game on - soon.

I agree. I think this will be a good game and wouldn't be surprised if Kazakhstan can pull something off.

 

[ALF AmericanLionsFan]

Anyone know if Ovechkin will be playing today?

 

[Kaizer]

Ovechkin is back to lineup as F. Fedorov. Gusev is injured and Kharitonov is benched. So we will play with 7 D. According to IIHF site Ovechkin will play with Datsyuk and Kovalev instead of Kharitonov but they also listed V.Kozlov as D so I think we will know lines a bit later.

 

[Kaizer]

1' Game on. Sokolov is in the net.

 

[Kaizer]

Ovechkin with a shot. Goalie is OK.

 

[Kaizer]

Our 1st line is: Ovechkin - Datsyuk - Kovalev; Vyshidkevich - Markov.
2nd line: Kovalchuk - Zinovjev - V. Kolzov; Kaprovtsev - Kalinin.

 

[Kaizer]

Yashin can't score from the slot cause he hit the stick. Semin wide open. Kazakhstan had 2 shots too.

 

[Kaizer]

Fedorov still didn't get single shift
Our PP. 5 on 3.

 

[Kaizer]

We failed to use 2 man adv. Kovalchuk shots with every oportunity.

 

[Kaizer]

8th minute of the 1st period. Still 0-0.

 

[Peter25]

Hahahahaha!!!

Russia had almost 2 minutes of 5-3 PP against KAZAKHSTAN and failed to score!!!



This team must be frustrating it´s fans.

 

[Kaizer]

Nepryaev lost puck. Shafronov tried to go 1 on 1, but Ryazantsev and Proshkin were OK.

 

[Kaizer]

We are in PK. Afinogenov with 2 PMIS. Kazakhstan didn't create anything.
11th min. - 5 on 5.

 

[Peter25]

Why is Kharitonov benched? Doens´t he like to play against his home country Kazakhstan?

 

[Kaizer]

Kovalev with broken nose It's bad.

 

[Peter25]

Kovalev with broken nose It's bad.

Schit!

 

[Kaizer]

PK. Zinovjev with slashing.

 

[Peter25]

Did Kovalev get a puck or a stick to his nose?

 

[Kaizer]

Did Kovalev get a puck or a stick to his nose?

Stick. It was on the slot, after Ovechkin shot. He tried to rebound.

We were good in PK. Kazahstan failed even to get a single shot

How bad did Kovy´s injury look? Do you think he can play in the quarters?

Sorry, but I have only 2 text onlines in Russian so I know only what they write
Zino and Kovalchuk are dominating.

 

[wilka91*]

is this going to be a 0-0 tie?

 

[Kaizer]

PP for us in the end of the 1st

 

[Kaizer]

Kovalchuk is playing with first line in PP instead of Ovechkin.
