Russia 4-1

 

[Tomas W]

It will take a miracle on ice for France to win this, no matter how good their first line is. Never the less The Russians need to focus on defence when S Da Costa is out there!

 

[maclean]

I would say most people would have considered many of the French wins this tournament miracles, so don't put it past them. Still, they are up against the best team of the tournament so far, so they will have to reach deep into their bag of tricks.. I unfortunately haven't had a chance to see the russian team this year but it seems like they're the only one that's been up to expectations.

 

[Alessandro Seren Rosso]

Zaripov out, Ovechkin in

 

[Asmodian]

this going to be a very tough match, I would much prefer Russia face Canadians in the 1/4s then I would be fairly sure we would win. As it is I feel there will be undeserved confidence in our team and this will be a tough match like Germany or Belarus

Zaripov out, Ovechkin in

why is zaripov out?
edit,
he's not out
kuz is the one out

It's playoff. I don't remember that Russia ever lose playoff match to a team that not belong to big 7. And there are absolutely no reason to think that today will be any different.

of all days, there're absolutely no reasons to lose to them on 9th of may, yet we managed that just fine

Why not? They were our allies after all. We didn't lose to Deutsch on that day.

That's just because it's usually the biggest hockey countries that make it to the playoffs.

Ok, but I don't like Kuzya out... I think that he played better than both Dadonov and Burmistrov.

 

[alce*]

There are less big hockey countries in the world than playoff spots, so no. Usually in quarter-finals Russia plays with teams like Sweiz, Norway or Deutschland. And always wins those games.

 

[ViD]

And it's 1-0

The guy on my avatar scored!

 

[ViD]

Power play for France

 

[SimplySensational]

Ugh, Bob comes out and negates an icing and then Russia turns it over and ices it themselves...

 

[SimplySensational]

Nice urgency on the PP to the end the period...

 

[777]

Malkin is so ****ing good

 

[shaner8989]

Pittsburgh needs to acquire Kulemin. Him and malkin are awesome together

 

[Urbanskog]

That's a horrible PP by France

 

[Acallabeth]

Has Ovechkin even landed a good shot from the right point the whole tournament? The better is the good's worst enemy...

 

[ozo]

Penalty festival :/

 

[777]

Why didn't Kovalchuk go this year?
