Rubtsov scores as nice goal similar tot he first Slovak one. Primary assist to Samorukov. 2-2 with a minute left

passer looked like Abramov to me, I must have mixed up players when they went out of camera shot
 
Slovak penalty with 2 seconds left, going to OT now. Russia is going to have 1:58 of 4 on 3 PP
 
OT solves nothing. Time for a shootout. I assume it's going to be 5 shooters a piece like it was for the Russia/Denmark practice shootout
 
15 RUS ? scored
16 SVK Krivosik saved
11 RUS Abramov scored
13 SVK Bucek saved
13 RUS M.Maltsev scored
21 SVK Ruzicka saved
24 RUS Kostin saved
23 SVK Solensky saved
14 RUS Svechnikov saved
18 SVK Liska saved

Russia win the shootout 3-0 and the game 3-2

Also Sukhachyov was in net for the shootout. I thougth Berdin started so they must have switched partway through.
 
watched some of the 1st and 2nd. Kostin seemed slow and didn't really do anything. Has he been struggling recently?
 
Maybe it’s just me, but I’ve noticed Bragin’s teams have the propensity to play to the level of their competition.
They’ll look atrocious against a lower tier nation, but will play with total intensity and heart against a USA, Finland, Canada, etc.
 
I'm excited for the WJC this year. Want to see Svechnikov, Abramov and Rubtsov. Also its in Bufallo.;-)

Hey guys, I’m American but to be honest I feel like this year Russia is going for gold. Not exactly sure why just a gut feeling. I’m a devils fan and I’m very excited to watch Maltsev as I’ve heard a lot of good things. Can anyone give a scouting report on what kind of player he is?

Maltsev looks like complete two-way center almost without apparent weaknesses. I believe that in some things he is even more gifted than Anisimov. I'd like to see him as an NHL'er in the future.

Hockey by Russian junior team with Bragin is all about emotions.
 
What are the chances of Sokolov making the team? I picked him quite early in one pool 'cos I believed he will play with Abramov and Rubtsov.

Chances are good that he will make it. Sokolov has looked awkward so far on the off-wing and his skating has not been great. But I think they'll need his scoring.

Some reshuffling and a move back to his natural side is possible.

Final roster cuts have been announced: Alexander Alexeyev, Artyom Maltsev, Vitaliy Kravtsov, Danil Veryayev, Alexei Lipanov.
 
Thought on what exactly they are doing with their D?

Also surprised Lipanov got cut. Thought theyd play the chemistry route w Svechnikov
 
We've got a true Armenian flavor to the team this year.
