[sansabri]

No. He's fine. Podkolzin looks like he always does. Makes a lot of good little plays to win battles and makes some nice passes.

You were expecting some god out there? He's not a great offensive player.

no, simply felt like i hadn't seen him on the ice for a little while

 

[NorCalhockey]

I'm worried about Canada getting a tough quarterfinal.

I had the same thought about US...

 

[Fantomas]

Point shots that don't work. That never ever go through. Just keep shooting these because you have no ideas or strategies whatsoever.

 

[Startseva]

The earlier Russia will score 1 goal the more chanses to win. Nothing ended.

 

[chaoshockey]

Crazy pool, gonna be 1-1 everywhere soon lol

I feel so bad for Austria

 

[tictactoe]

Russians lost 3 out of 5 games against Czechs? yet people come and surprise...

 

[ViD]

That’s some awful goaltending by askarov on that play, but also a terrible giveaway by Chayka.

A breakaway goal is awful performance? Ok

 

[jj cale]

I expect Russia to get one back and then the final minutes will be insane.

You read my mind.

 

[Atas2000]

Chayka just had to be more patient

You just don't do this play. It's simple. You are the last man back with your back to the goal. You don't shoot if the guy is close to you and a blocked shot can equal a breakaway.

 

[canswetoxic]

remind me of the Slo vs Can game except the Czech finished it

 

[cska78]

They weren't. It's just they are not playing on their level yet for whatever reason. I just don't see the players I am used to.

Coaching, imho...

 

[ORRFForever]

I'm so hungry and that stupid Hawaiian pizza comes on.

 

[Mitch nylander]

A breakaway goal is awful performance? Ok

That went right through him. That’s not a goal you want to see your goalie give up.

 

[Eggtimer]

Am I the only one that likes the Czech ‘s jerseys?
Not so much the shoulder area of the jersey but I love the crest .

 

[ViD]

Podkolzin is useless offensively

 

[Fantomas]

I don't blame Askarov for the goal, but I'm still waiting for him to be super-duper amazing as he's been cracked up to be.

 

[LeafChief]

The Russian D are so mistake prone its unbelievable.

 

[TMLeafer]

CZE got away with the slash there

 

[chaoshockey]

Am I the only one that likes the Czech ‘s jerseys?
Not so much the shoulder area of the jersey but I love the crest .

The Czech jerseys are GORGEOUS

 

[cska78]

Askarov also does not look good at all, giving up soft-ish goals and big rebounds

 

[tictactoe]

So ref calls a dive and ignores a slash. Yaikes!

 

[ORRFForever]

Am I the only one that likes the Czech ‘s jerseys?
Not so much the shoulder area of the jersey but I love the crest .

I always liked their jerseys.

 

[Atas2000]

The refs go full legalize on that slash on Spiridonov.

 

[Czechboy]

I'm worried about Canada getting a tough quarterfinal.

They'll be globetrotting all the way to the semis! One tough game against Finns on NYE...

 

[Mitch nylander]

Reffing has been poor this game.
