I'm guessing that there won't be television coverage...

 

[StevenEllisNHL]

I was told by a member of the Kelowna Rocket's game day staff that there won't be a stream. Looking to see if there will be a radio stream instead but sounding unlikely.

 

[VictorLustig]

I know the Russians streamed their exhibition games a couple of years ago. Maybe a stream will pop up.

And why can't I open Hockey Canada site?

I had the same issue, but it worked on my iPad. Boxscore isn't updated anyway

4-2 Sweden now

To add: they also agreed to play OT & SO. Jacob Olofsson got the goal in OT on a rebound from a shot by Elvenes. Russians didn't want to play SO after that.

Looks as though Russia did not put up much resistance. The statistics suggest that Russia generated very little offense, probably because they were scrambling to keep 36 shots out of the goal. It is still a week from the start but this could hardly be an optimistic sign for Russian fans.

Should take with a grain of salt due to it being pre-tournament. What would worry me though is the fact they bailed from the agreed upon shootout after losing in reg & the extra OT.

Why does that worry you?

Why do you think they left before the SO? To me it sounds like they were salty about losing in regulation & the extra OT. Which is weird to be for practically practice games.
