WJC QF2: Jan 2 GDT - Finland vs. Russia (4-3)

[Crosbyfan]

I don't think the Russians will make it past the Finns. I am hugely disappointed in the Russian team performance so far. I predict a 1:4 loss to Finland.

I'l go with 3-2 Finland, BUT if Russia improves their team game they will win, and have gained momentum and team confidence. I don't expect US or Canada will take them lightly. If they beat US it will seem like an upset and everyone will say US choked which would be unfair because all US would be guilty of would be solid teamwork in the preliminary round. At that point Canada would hardly take them lightly, so the game against the Finns could be pivotal for Russia.

By the way, what time is the game? Thanks.

I believe 1 pm eastern... It's 8 local, but my calculations might be wrong.

 

[Slick Nick]

Yes, 1 pm eastern time.

Go Russia... Win that one so I can at least watch the semi-final game on TSN.

Really though, what's more intresting? Slovakie - Czech? or host team Finland - Russia

They're showing both semi-final games...

Thanks guys

The last thing either Canada or US would want to see is a revitalized Russia team, because we all know what'll happen if Russia wakes up - déjà vu.

What's your gut on this one Doc? Russia wakes up or is put to sleep?

I wish I could tell you, but unfortunately, I have yet to see ANY highlights or anything to do with the Russian games here in Canada.

Yeah, no highlights here or nothing. The only other non-Canadian highlight I have seen, was the mad goal that Hudler scored earlier in the tournament against Slovakia or somebody.
