Russia surges again and again its easily disrupted by physical defensemen.
Then Austria passes three times and a shot from the left wing, out wide, went in.
A soft goal but on an opportunity CREATED by good passing on the counterattack after another failed, lame surge by Russia.
Entirely a deserving tie.

Inteference on Kharitonov, just trying to be a moving block for Kovalev... Sokholov's mistake might cost a lot for the Russians, they seem really shaky right now...

Another good scoring chance by Austria. This time on the powerplay.
Shots on net are misleading though. Austria didn't finish many chances, but they have gotten in good scoring POSITION several times in this game.
Whereas at the other end, Russian players trying to puckhog their way by themself to the net have been simply knocked down on their way.
Sad in a way. Unless you're an Austrian fan.

A deserving penalty against Austria.
I almost look forward to admiring the Austrian checkers at work.

i'm happy with how brückler has played so far. i think he was solid and didn't let in any soft goals what was a big factor in this game.VanIslander said:A deserving penalty against Austria.

Yashin AGAIN tried to surge to the net by himself and AGAIN is effectively backchecked out of the play.
Russia: stop trying to send one guy in by himself toward the net!!
Try passing, cycling, setting up behind the net, something else.
Puck hogging' ain't workin'

If this game ends in a tie I'd better not hear anybody try to claim that Austria was "lucky".
The goalie only had to be average good, because ALL the skaters effectively were checking.

Setzinger just won me over!
"maybe the most spectacular action in the game so far" said the play by play guy.
I agree.
Coast to coast, great skill showed.
But the story of this game is the ability of all Austrian players to skate and pass and check and be physical.
And the Russians lack of a "team spirit"

Austria didn't deserved that, and the russians know it. Notice how Kovalev didn't celebrate much

If I was Austrian I'd be celebrating all night long!
Not by having lost by a goal, or by having scored two to end it 2-3 (assuming no more scoring)
but because Austria has played so well against the Russians.
