I’m so happy for these guys. Many of them trusted in Slovak hockey federation with the U18 project and it has paid off thus far. No matter the result tomorrow the boys should hold their heads high for a great tournament.
 
We are gonna get absolutely EUTHANIZED by that Russian team tomorrow, but I couldn't care less really. we are in the FINALS!!

Such a shame that Canada is not participating, because this tournament would be getting 80% more attention.
I DONT EVEN CARE EITHER. I AM SO HAPPY FOR THIS GROUP

I don’t think anyone will beat this Russian team, including if the American or Canadian A-squads were playing. They’ve been the best country so far in this age group. It’s not only Michkov and Miroshnichenko. Their goalie is very good, they have many other good forwards, and their defense isn’t bad either.

But upsets happen. Slovakia is good enough to give them a game.
 
Great game between Russia and Sweden! Great comeback by Russia, after it looked like, for the first 30 minutes, Sweden was going to dominate. Russia took some heavy hits from Sweden and just kept fighting, kind of refusing to lose. It sets up what looks to be a great match with the Slovaks.

Sweden needs to be better to protect the lead when up a pair of goals, but Russia is a elite team.

Many defensive mistakes

What surprised me about Slovakia's win today is that most of the goals were scored by depth players.
But Slafkovský was the player of the game, AINEC. (After Eliaš allowed 2 goals; not that he was to be blamed for them.)
