This can get ugly if the russian stars are in the mood.

 

[theslatcher]

Excellent deflection by Khalifizullin on Georgiev.

 

[Pensionsraddare]

Russia is like a Ferrari up front and a rusty Saab backwards.

Are Russia outplaying us? Can't see the game today.

Are Russia outplaying us? Can't see the game today.

No, even game so far. FIN up 1-0 after 1st.

 

[IceHockeyDude]

Battles have been won against greater odds.

 

[Kshahdoo]

Are Russia outplaying us? Can't see the game today.

Yes... last few minutes. Before, it was the other way round. I mean, Finland's counter attacks were very dangerous, and they could score a couple goals more, but then Russia created a few very dangerous moments, Finnish goalie made some very good saves.

Not really, the Russian defensive game is nonexistent and the Russian effort in the O-zone has been pretty meh.

Finland leads 1-0 after 1st.

 

[jaro]

i dont understand to that but russian team is not dangerus, the defense is weak ... litle bit disapointed after 4 period against SWE and now FIN

 

[IceHockeyDude]

I wonder how many points did Russian players in this years line-up score in NHL compared to Finns? 400-10?

Ovie, Kuznetsov, Zaitsev and Orlov came to Europe 2 days ago. They are under a heavy jetlag right now. Still, the last few minutes it looked like Russia had PP, Fins had problems with getting out of their zone.

And yes, our defense sucks. Nesterov, Sergachev, Khafizulin and Zub looked especially bad.

Yeah, they need some time to get it together. That would be right before the tournament starts.

Add Lammikko's 6 points so that makes us almost even.

 

[EK47]

The Russian defence is not very well structured and they miss a majority of their outlet passes.

 

[jaro]

Finland play much better then russia

 

[Nexon]

Russia looks completely rusty, while it’s visible Finns played together for quite some time.

 

[Pensionsraddare]

Same old Russia. Always plays like they couldn't care less when it doesn't matter. That Kucherov penalty sums it up. Have anyone seen Ovi? Or Malkin? And now another penalty by Kucherov. He's been pure shit today and you can clearly see the frustration.

 

[matzz]

Russians must be hangover or something.... But credit to Finns, they play good

 

[EK47]

 

[Mirinho]

This unknown team Finland is so good. They are playing perfect hockey. No mistakes, every player knows where to be. They are like robots with hockey software in their heads I like them

And also show us what can be done with proher coaching, wish we took an example.

 

[Chimpradamus]

Well, they were not. That was sad to watch. The Finns played solid hockey, but come on, that was weak. Still, it doesn't mean anything, but the Russian defense and tactics look seriously bad so far. Russian fans weren't kidding when they said they have a really terrible coach.

 

[Lambo]

Good game by the finns. I know Pre-Games aren't importance but it is good for self-confidence for Suomi. That show this team isn't chanceless in WHC.
