[Belizarius]

After the emotionnal game vs Canada, back to business.
This game is a must win for France.
With heart, we should walk on this Belarussian team which didn't show anything in the tournament. But they always seem to show off vs us so...

 

[Goldorak]

FYI Manavian and Janil are right Ds.

Huet should be back as should Meunier centering the third line.

Agreed.
I'm just coming back from the morning skate.
Lampérier is in, instead of Bouvet.
Huet will start.

 

[jonas2244]

Am I the only one who thinks that Hardy looked stronger than Huet?

 

[ViD]

Calling an upset in this one.

Meaning Belarus win, of course. How the tables have turned

 

[kaner88slo]

Please France, dont screw us over now. Win today!

 

[Urbanskog]

Wouldn't be surprised at all if Belarus wins this. Still hoping for France to take this to keep the quarterfinal dream alive and well.

 

[Reds4Life]

I think Belarus will not even try this game. The big game for them is tomorrow against Slovenia. 5-2 France.

 

[Belizarius]

No Graborenko nor A. Kostitsyn.
If a Belarusian fan has some info, I'll take it

I wish I had. Extreme way to shuffle lines?

It would be stupid for Belarus to not try stole away some points from France, especially when France is coming off of a tough game against Canada yesterday. Belarus had free day yesterday. It is not smart for Belarus to focus all on 1 game against Slovenia.

I don't think they have the physical condition to play back-to-back meaningful games in full energy. Could see them try to defend well today, and wait for tomorrow to play "game of the year".

 

[Belizarius]

Treille opens the scoring with a perfect shot high glove side !

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

I remember a time when Belarus was a worthy opponent on the rise that were able to challenge big countries, Grabovski and Kostitsyn bros scored some nice goals.

It's a shame they took steps backwards.

 

[Belizarius]

After a snipe from Fleury, Belarus just scored a base-ball like goal by Pavlovich.
2-1 now

 

[Belizarius]

2-2 ! Sharangangovich ties it on a 2vs1

 

[Dima_BLR]

2-2 ! Sharangangovich ties it on a 2vs1

well, the game seems not over yet. btw, it's sharangovich's 2nd goal at this wc...and the guy is just 18.

 

[Pan]

Somebody had to hit Pavlovich's balls earlier for them to start playing finally.

 

[Dima_BLR]

Somebody had to hit Pavlovich's balls earlier for them to start playing finally.

i wish they hit s.kostytsin's balls to wake up this lazy ass.

 

[Dima_BLR]

and belarus takes the lead 3-2!

 

[Heia Norge]

Beautiful goal from Belarus on the PP

 

[Belizarius]

That was some great passing here

 

[kabidjan18]

The laziest 2+2 powerplay I've ever seen. Every player was visibly "thinking" and skating at quarter speed.

 

[Belizarius]

Wow, Bellemare has a great shot but man, Lalande was weak on this one.
