Can Austria get more shots than goals against. That's been a real struggle in the first 2 games and I don't see it being a given here either. Their goalie did really well to hold Sweden to 4 goals, but given Russia will be frustrated after being shut out last game they're going to want to open the flood gates as soon as they can. I'll say 8-0 Russia with 4 points from Abramov
 
Let's hope Larionov doesn't invent another great "strategy" like he did vs. the Czechs.
 
Austria's going to get massacred here. The Russians are surely tuned to redeem themselves after the loss in the previous game. They will just slaughter the poor team Austria, expect double digits.

Problem is, even if they win, it wouldn't prove much - with all due respect to the Austrian juniors. Not sure how they'll redeem themselves then. The match vs. Sweden will show a bit more.

Contrary to many of the posters, I think this game will be much closer and that Austria will go up early and the Russians will need to chase them from behind to win. From what I've seen from the Czech game, Larionov is clueless and can't motivate the players.

I don't expect double digits, but I think Russia will have no issues taking this one.

Russia comes in pissed off and obliterates Austria this game. Could get ugly.

If they are truly pissed off, they need to save it for tomorrow against Sweden. That will determine whether they end up in 3rd place in the groupings for the QF.

Of course it wouldn't prove much objectively. But after every loss, you should always go into the next game with some "healthy dose of anger", really wanting to do your best and show everybody you really are some great team. This is the basic psychology of a sportsman, and I don't doubt the Russians to have this right sporting mentality. Austria is just going to fall victim to this.

I watched the post game interview with the players and, interestingly enough, they didn't look pissed at all. They complimented the Czechs on their effort, confirmed that they need to improve their game, pointed out on their own mistakes, but they didn't look upset at all.

You can think whatever you want about Larionov and whatnot but what evidence is there Austria can score a goal at all, nevermind scoring first and putting up any kind of resistance? If they manage to reach double digits in shots it will be an achievement in itself.
 
Austria - Russia 1:0.

I hope our pathetic offense can redeem itself against the weakest opponent.

Maybe if we’re extremely lucky we can even score a PP goal or see Podkolzin or Amirov produce.

Btw, Russia was shut out in a round robin game for the first time since 2012. Make it twice if we count the Canada game. Worst offense I’ve seen in many years

Don't care about final score, much more interested to see Russia with a good power play tonight.

But there's very little they can do in this game to redeem themselves. To do that, they would have to confidently beat Sweden

"Confidently beat Sweden" rarely happens anyway, most of these games are pretty close :). At least Sweden's style fits Russia's more than the Czech Republic's. This will be an interesting litmus test.
