[ViD]

0-0 after 6 minutes, Russia doesn’t look too impressive so far

1 crappy goal in 66 minutes against 2 average opponents doesn’t scream golden repeat

 

[Bagge]

Kind of surprised to see Dichow in goal for Denmark. Hope he doesnt get a lecture.

 

[Antiillafire]

Danish team looks massive. They seem to be hunting pucks really well and preventing Russians from setting up in ozone

 

[ViD]

Shots are 3-3 after 12 minutes.

 

[PanniniClaus]

This is a very very cautious game of hockey...

 

[Bagge]

I like what I see so far.

Amazing what a bit of confidence can do for a team. Lets see if they dare this way of playing.

 

[ViD]

Incredibly boring period.

Russia seems to have very little skill beyond first line

 

[egelband]

Neither team really looked threatening offensively but Denmark looked decidedly more in-control.

 

[ViD]

Too much passing from team Russia. Nesterov has the worst shot, the guy can’t hit the goal, it either hits someone’s shinpads or misses the net

 

[ViD]

Another garbage goal for team Russia. But they deserve to score this period.

 

[ViD]

Nikishin is not having the best game

 

[Bagge]

Montreal have a nice prospect in Dichow for the future. Will be interesting to follow him the coming years.

 

[ViD]

Ya, Nikishin might need to get benched for a few shifts

 

[Bagge]

One down after two periods against the favourites to win the tournament . I'll take that 10 out of 10 times. A shame Jensen couldnt bury one of his chances to tie it up.

Anyone with a link?

Anyone with a link?

Its on DR1

 

[Bagge]

Jensen owes a couple of goals in this game

 

[karlstegger]

Ahh thanks, thought it was TV2

 

[karlstegger]

What a horrible miss by Jensen

 

[ViD]

0/7 on PP against Denmark. Solid.

 

[rohky]

Denmark is on fire. They can beat Russia. The Danish team played very wisely and carefully in defense, as did Russia against Switzerland. RUS-DEN can be a very interesting game and I won't be surprised if extra time or penalties are needed.

 

[BMOK33]

I am gonna guess Russia's odds of winning gold have dropped after their first 90 minutes in this tournament

 

[ViD]

A very mediocre game by team Russia. Yikes.

positives:
Another shutout
Only 1 penalty taken

negatives:
Offense is extremely underwhelming
Power play is non existing
not much of skillful plays


Can we beat the Czechs 3-0?

Well, they lost games in 2018, so this is actually progress
