Lets see, what happens in game vs Russia. Because Belarus should be always level bellow our juniors.

How does Kmec and Solensky look, do they make the team after final cuts or do they go back to their respective NAHL squads?

Nobody know. There isnt a stream from preparation games.

Really looking forward to seeing how Studenic does this tournament. He's been great for us in Hamilton the past 2 years and a lot of fun to watch. Seen him play dozens of times. As someone pointed out, he can play anywhere in the lineup and makes everyone around him better. Even on the third line he has produced well, although he's usually plays on the second line for the Bulldogs.

Slovakia up 1-0 on Russia after 1 period. Really nice goal from #21, I don't have number listings but it looked like Ruzicka to me. Can't say with 100% certainty though. Pretty even period.

 

[kudla]

Yes it was Ruzicka, a highlight reel goal

 

[peto10]

numbers of slovak players:

 

[Canada4Gold]

PP goal Zelenak from Ruzicka

 

[Canada4Gold]

2-0 after 2. Hrenak playing really well.

 

[BigBadBoar]

Slovak team looks pretty solid thus far.

 

[5andagame]

Is #10 Kmec and #23 Solensky dressed and playing?

 

[Canada4Gold]

Is #10 Kmec and #23 Solensky dressed and playing?

IDK, haven't been looking out for specific number. Will let you know if I see either of them

2-1 Slovakia, 4 minutes left

 

[Canada4Gold]

Solensky is, out there now

 

[Canada4Gold]

2-2

 

[Canada4Gold]

See Kmec on the bench there so I assume he's playing

 

[Canada4Gold]

Slovak penalty with 2 seconds left, going to OT now. Russia is going to have 1:58 of 4 on 3 PP

 

[Canada4Gold]

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

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

Studenic didn't play this game, he is arguably Slovakia's best forward. This team will not be a walk over.

 

[Canada4Gold]

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

 

[caslava]

Roman, studenic and bodak did not play tonight. 3 important players missing. Team played well. Wonder if Ivan will make final roster, he did not play either.

 

[bobber]

Liska has really been picking up his game here in Kitchener with the Rangers. Going to be a solid OHL player. Go Slovakia!
