3 Lines? Russia must be really confident

 

[mrkolice]

Slovenian coach Kopitar announced some changes after the R1 loss but wasn't specific about it. Expectations: Gračnar to start on goal, Razingar or Pance to join Kopitar and Mursak line (it's still unknown if Urbas can play today, probably not).

 

[ndd17]

Good luck, Russia. Please, without injuries. Slovenia has only 18 hours for rest btw games.
Just win this one.

 

[Khokhlach86]

Barulin confirm, he's starter today

 

[Kshahdoo]

3 Lines? Russia must be really confident

Well, Znarok said we would play with 4 lines. So it won't be like vs Norway.

 

[mrkolice]

Slovenian lineup:

g: Gračnar

1: Razingar - Kopitar - Muršak
2: Sabolič - Tičar - Jeglič
3: Pance - Mušič - Ograjenšek
4: Goličič - Rodman - Verlič

d: Kranjc - Pretnar
Gregorc - Robar
Vidmar - Kovačevič
Štebih - Pavlin

 

[Khokhlach86]

Russian lineup

Barulin
Belov-Chudinov; Panarin-Shipachyov-Dadonov;

Biryukov-Medvedev; Kovalchuk-Anisimov-Plotnikov;

Antipin-Kulikov; Mozyakin-Malkin-Kulyomin;

Shirokov-Tikhonov-Tarasenko
Yakovlev

 

[Kap-the-Head]

Slovenia decided not to sit back. Very active forechecking 2 minutes in.

 

[Wings4Life]

Russian lineup

Barulin
Belov-Chudinov; Panarin-Shipachyov-Dadonov;

Biryukov-Medvedev; Kovalchuk-Anisimov-Plotnikov;

Antipin-Kulikov; Mozyakin-Malkin-Kulyomin;

Shirokov-Tikhonov-Tarasenko
Yakovlev

Garbage combinations, as expected. Will still steamroll Slovenia, but not nearly good enough for gold.

 

[Kap-the-Head]

Kovalchuk 1-0... Wrister from the left circle on the rush

 

[Startseva]

again 2 fast goals

 

[Kap-the-Head]

2-0... Kulemin... Picking up garbage in the crease

 

[Kap-the-Head]

Russia is camping out in Slovenia's zone... Getting a little too fancy sometimes

 

[Kap-the-Head]

PP for Slovenia

 

[tobu]

Slovenia loosing pucks too easily, bad passes and puck control, hope they can get more confidence, I know they can do better.

 

[Kap-the-Head]

PP for Russia...

 

[tobu]

Interesting PP layout from Russia, two players behind the goal, one in front and two on top of circle. Worked perfectly.

 

[Kap-the-Head]

Panarin to Dadonov from behind the net... 3-0

 

[Kshahdoo]

Just crazy what a pass Panarin made to Yakovlev!.. And Dadonov is better than Yakovlev. 3-0.

 

[Kshahdoo]

Interesting PP layout from Russia, two players behind the goal, one in front and two on top of circle. Worked perfectly.

That's their trademarked PP. They scored a lot of such goals in the KHL.

 

[tobu]

That's their trademarked PP. They scored a lot of such goals in the KHL.

Yeah, I don't remember seeing it with any other team, so I take your word for it being their trademark. Loved it, forced the defending players to keep turning 180' constantly with the passing.

 

[Kap-the-Head]

Anisimov failed to score on the breakaway

 

[Kap-the-Head]

Kopitar from the left circle... 3-1.. Barulin's goal

 

[Kap-the-Head]

PP Russia...
