I think Russia will walk over Slovaks.

6-1 Russia. Ilya scores 3 times.

Aahh... I have 1 week holiday so I'm able to watch these late games.
02.00AM local time

Kovalenko rocks

 

[Kasparov*]

What a shame the rest of the games are being played at the ACC and not the bell center.......

 

[Moskau]

I predict bad, bad things for Slovakia. This is the last International event Miroslav Satan captains... frankly he never recovered from the olympics.

 

[wilka91*]

I always predict wrong scores, but Russia should win this one if they play at least like last night (except for the goal scoring part).

 

[Mr. Penguin]

I think the Slovaks want to win this one more, so I predict a 3-2 win for them.

 

[High flyin' Habs*]

Russian wins 4-2. Kovalev scores 2.

Truly is a shame.

 

[littleHossa]

Ovechkin better be playing.

 

[Foppa_Rules]

Coach: PLEASE LET OVECHKIN PLAY!!!!

3 -2 Russia

 

[ALF AmericanLionsFan]

Is there any interent radio link to listen to the game since we can't watch it here in the states?

 

[VanIslander]

Exactly.

Slovakia is hungry and full of talent. I haven't watched them play this tourney but they've got the horses in Hossa, Nagy, Demitra, and yes, redemption is a good game away for Satan. Both Stumpel and Zednik need to not be a liability and the trio of Orszagh, Petrovicky, Bartecko have to defend well.

If Jan Lasak starts in net then they can win this game and the quarterfinal against Russia as well. I watched Lasak shine at the Memorial Cup as he carried his team to the Canadian juniors finals a few years ago. He is the real deal. Stana should be pulled.

ESPN broadband actually does a decent broadcast.

 

[12# Peter Bondra]

So I didnt want to start another thread about this so:

There are a lot of changes for tonights game. Healthy scrathces are: Budaj, Hlinka, Suchy, Obsut, Somik and Petrovicky.

The new lines are:

Lasak
Stana

Chara-Lintner
Visnovsky-Mezei
Strbak-Cierny

Nagy-Demitra-Hossa
Satan-Stumpel-Zednik
Bartecko-Cibak-Gaborik
Orzsagh-Pavlikovsky-Radivojevic

I hope they work (the changes).

 

[MOGiLNY]

4:1 Slovakia

 

[Erik]

I say Slovakia plain outworks the Russians tonight, but because of poor defense and goaltending Slovakia only wins by a score of 4 to 3.

 

[nomorekids]

is this game on ESPN broadband?

 

[Erik]

is this game on ESPN broadband?

Yes, and so is the first European QF.

 

[HfxMoose]

Russia 3-2. Ovechkin better be playing.

 

[H/H]

Ovechkin better be playing.

I don't see why, Russia are doing quite fine right now.

 

[Shack]

I don't see why, Russia are doing quite fine right now.

Many would like to see this super talent playing, but I agree with you.
He is still young and he'll eventually get his change to show up at the big games.

 

[ALF AmericanLionsFan]

I don't have broadband so is there anywhere on the net I can listen to this game?

 

[Erik]

Probably on the Toronto sports radio station's website. I don't know what that is, ask someone on here or Google it.
