Excited to see Sharangovich against a stronger team.

 

[Caser]

No changes in the Russia lineup comparing to yesterday's game (and therefore the lineup already posted by @Woodhouse ) according to Hockey Russia.

 

[Privet]

Whenever I read Altybarmakyan I immeditality think of Henrikh Mkhitaryan from Man UTD...

 

[KrejciMVP]

Forza Russia!

 

[c9gunner]

Should be an easy one for Russia

 

[Woodhouse]

Belarus had a few lineup tweaks -- confirmed lineups. We're underway.

 

[KrejciMVP]

This arena looks smaller

 

[KrejciMVP]

1-0 good start for Russia

This arena looks smaller

Playing in the Harborcenter, capacity approx 1800 vs. 19k for the FNC

 

[KrejciMVP]

nice finish, 2-0 Russia, team is starting to gell

 

[Ingvar]

Wow, nice goal.​

 

[BalticWarrior]

This game seems to be a battle of a team that doesnt want to play against a team that cant play.

 

[Woodhouse]

2-0 RUS 1st INT. Polodyan and Rubtsov were the scorers. SOG 15-3 RUS.

 

[Rasmus CacOlainen]

Rubtsov is pretty darn good. Has consistently looked like the best player on the ice for Russia this tournament. Philly have a good one in him.

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Good job Kostin, 3-0 Russia.

 

[Fantomas]

Russia playing like crap in this period. No organization at all.

That powerplay had nothing up its sleeve. And they're playing Belarus.

 

[Godfather]

Good job Kostin, 3-0 Russia.

It's that name again.....

 

[Statsy]

Can't believe how many chances Manukyan has had today.

 

[Riggins]

Small rink atmosphere looks fun. It even makes for a better TV viewing experience when you don't see entire sections of empty seats.

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Russia trying too hard to score pretty goals on the PP, just shoot the puck.

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Russia playing like crap in this period. No organization at all.

That powerplay had nothing up its sleeve. And they're playing Belarus.

I think the Russians aren't being opportunistic enough on the PP because they want to score aesthetically pleasing goals.

 

[BlitzSnipe]

It's that name again.....

What are you implying?

 

[tsamolotoff]

I think the Russians aren't being opportunistic enough on the PP because they want to score aesthetically pleasing goals.

If only our bois had the skills to actually do that... That's what is the most infuriating issue atm. Manukyan is going for Nail trophy this year, i guess, not sure if it's bad luck or something bigger
