Belarus vs Kazakhstan

[montreal]

Wish I could have seen the game, thought it would be a good one. Winner takes the B pool and gets back into the wjc's next year. Looks like Belarus is going to end up winning, it's 5-2 late in the 3rd. Wings prospect Siarhei Kolsau was just kicked out of the game for a check from behind, got 5 plus a game. It was 4-2 at the time but then Belarus scores one shorthanded while killing off the 5 min major, their 2nd SH goal of the game.

Siarhei Kostitsyn with a 3 pt game, 2+1, now leads the tournament in scoring with nine points.

Thats great Belarus deserves to be back in it, and congratulations to Kostitsyn Jr.

Belarus wins it 5-2, wins group B and heads back to the wjc's next year. Kostitsyn gets tossed out of the game for a high sticking major, Kazakhstan had a 5-3 twice in the last 3 minutes but couldn't score.

Nice, is this the same tournament Anze Kopitar killed?

 

[MomentsofSanity]

Good to see Sergei (Billy) Kostitsyn can own both the points race AND the penalty category quite handily

Can't wait to have him back here in London.

No Kopitar wasn't in this tournament.

Actually he was. In the other group which was won by Germany. He did not do nearly as well as last year though.

 

[Douggy]

Is Kostitsyn young enough to play in the WJC next year?

[Heat McManus]

Does he have much support on this team? Or is he doing most of it by himself?
