Disgusting behavior by Sharangovich

I totally support him !

Honestly, I think Russia must win the group now, any other result would be a major failure. I don’t know what roster Sweden brings this time, but regardless, Russia should defeat all the teams in their group

Swiss are going to be very good! They have the closest roster to beat on best.

It's a shame.. you had some good comments but I had to add you to my ignore list after your dirty Slovak comment. Totally uncalled for.

No Josi though

 

[Czechboy]

No Josi though

I didn't say all of them. But their best on best roster is at least 50 percent here including both goalies. I think they will be very good.

Eg. How many of your Russians will be on best on best roster? 1 or 2? Czechs have 5 or 6 I'm guessing. Good luck with rest of your tourney.

And which region of slovakia rosandic is from ?

And Jagr also doesn't sound like czech surname,,,,

Very bad comparation. Rosandic was born in Croatia, but plays in Slovakia since his 15. As a hockey player, he is 100% Slovak.

I almost got my prediction wrong from the very start as I predicted that there will be no double digit-blowouts in this tournament. Germany almost made it.

Is the pay that good in Minsk? I thought it would be less than AHL and obviously less secure

NHL, AHL or Jokerit don't buy them to national team also. Barys, Minsk and Kunlun operate a bit differently and previously Medveszak too.

 

[Mestaruus]

What's up with them using abbreviation ROC for Russia during games but on IIHF's official site Russia is being called "Russia". Same thing with the Olympic flag vs Russia's flag. IIHF and Olympic committee have some kind of disagreement? Reminds me of the disagreement about Rene Fasel fighting for Belarus being the second host for this WHC till the end, while many others disagreed with that. Similar disagreement perhaps?

I don't have anything against Russia being called "Russia", but isn't this quite messy or should I say disorganized?

Henrik Karlsson a goalie of Sweden and Skellefteå AIK fame chosed to play for Kazakstan 2018 ... money?! Don't even think so.

It's probably the most well known secret in history of the universe that Fasel is in Kremlin's pocket.

"He's a cy young winner, he gets more goals then assists"

Cy young trophy goes to MLB best pitcher, they usually end up with a record like 20W-5L, so if a guy has 20G 5A he has a cy young winner numbers

Zub, Provorov and Gavrikov are nearly locks, no forwards though

 

[Czechboy]

Zub, Provorov and Gavrikov are nearly locks, no forwards though

So I said 1 or 2 and it was 3. Now go look at swiss best on best roster guesses... Start counting because their very good team has at least 10 guys. Strong medal contender here.

 

[Czechboy]

I'm

Zub, Provorov and Gavrikov are nearly locks, no forwards though

I'm also assuming swedes have 1 or 2 best on best guys. They will be tough here though as they are always good.

 

[ItWasJustified]

IIHF and Olympic committee have some kind of disagreement?

The IIHF is not the same as the IOC and have no agreement. Russia has always been competing as Russia in IIHF tournaments.

 

[Mestaruus]

Russia has always been competing as Russia in IIHF tournaments.

I think that you are missing my point. Russia is now competing as ROC and no Russian flag is allowed. If you don't believe me, just go check the game highlights of CZE-ROC game from today. It's on youtube.

My point was this: It is confusing when IIHF lists on their official website site Russia as "Russia", while in game it is ROC.

 

[goonybird]

Sharangovich is a doll

Other than that stupid uniform, I don’t think anybody notices any difference

 

[ORRFForever]

Did we lose? LOL! Good for Latvia.

Lol. I find it hilarious that no one cares that these guys drop the F bomb constantly in normal on ice conversation but get all up in arms when someone flips the bird.

I was wrong. Apparently IIHF has ties with WADA. Then IIHF has screwed up.‎

True but Sharangovich was malding the entire game tbh

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Good job Russia.. nice push at the end.

I honestly don't have many memories of a guy being that open in the final 20 seconds of a 3 - 3 game.lol That's probably a bench change.. coaching type thing. Or a Czech slipped on a banana peel.

Nice game... I enjoyed it despite the awful ending. Sadly, I just watched us lose to Finland at the U18 in very similar fashion less than a month ago... PTSD is real.haha

Good game Czech Republic, always competitive! It was pretty close.
