Disciplinary Panel

 

Jeglic suspended

Slovenia forward to miss two games

 

The IIHF Disciplinary Panel has issued a two-game suspension to Team Slovenia forward Ziga Jeglic, for a kicking violation.

 

Jeglic will miss his teams’ upcoming game against Canada on Sunday and against Norway on Tuesday.

The violation occurred  in front of the Slovenia bench at 28:53 in the 2nd period of the game against Switzerland on 6 May. Switzerland forward Thomas Rufenacht was involved in an altercation with Slovenian forward Robert Sabolic, when Jeglic approached the bench to change over the boards. In the moment he was sitting on the board and swinging his other leg into the player bench, Jeglic extended his right leg forcefully against Rufenacht, hitting him with the skate blade against his right shoulder and neck area. No penalty was assessed.

Based on all facts ascertained, the Disciplinary Panel determined that while Jeglic indicated that his only intention was to enter the bench as fast as possible, he intentionally and forcefully extended his leg in the direction of Rufenacht, risking to hit him in a vulnerable and dangerous position and so endangered the health of his opponent. Jeglic would have had space to change further away or pull his leg over the board in a different way. There is a clear swinging motion with his skate directed to the neck and head area of Rufenacht.

Jeglic’s kicking action demonstrated obvious intent as he swings his leg into the bench and attempts to kick his opponent in the head and neck area, a violation of Rule 152-Kicking, and warrants a two-game suspension. This was a very dangerous and reckless action that could have resulted in a serious injury.

Turning on the power

Six PP goals lead Russia to a rout

 

Russia's offence delivered a high-voltage performance as it overwhelmed Italy with a deadly PP and eight points from its Tampa Bay Lightning duo.

 

Russia had little difficulty in overpowering Italy to record its second victory of this year’s World Championship in Cologne. A perfect power play brought six of Russia’s goals in a 10-1 triumph that maintains the Red Machine’s early stranglehold on Group A.

 

The final scoreline only told part of the story of a meeting that Russians dominated throughout. Italy, so close to landing a surprise win over Slovakia on Saturday, was simply unable to ask any significant questions of its opponent in the first period when the play was overwhelmingly around Frederic Cloutier’s net, with Russia able to recycle the puck in the Italian zone almost at will. Italy's first power play, in the 15th minute, summed up the gap between the teams: Italy, despite its man advantage, was unable to get a single shot on Andrei Vasilevski. Even short-handed, Russia was too strong all over the ice.

 

If there was any cause for Russian concern in those early stages, it lay in the lack of scoring. The squaddra azzurra deployed a deep defence, seeking to block up the ice and shut down shooting lanes. As such, Russia needed to unpick that lock, a process that took nine minutes. Sergei Andronov made the breakthrough, claiming his second goal in his rookie World Championship when he got the touch on an Alexander Barabanov shot to beat Cloutier. The floodgates, though, failed to open immediately. Despite dominating the game, it took a 19th-minute power play effort to extend the Russian lead when Artemi Panarin did the hard work behind the net and found Yevgeni Dadonov with all the time in the world out in front.

 

But Italy showed in its previous encounter that it can cause trouble when it shows sufficient self belief to attack its opponents. Early in the second period Vasilevski had an anxious moment when he lost sight of Marco Insam’s tip on a Giulio Scandella shot and was relieved to see the puck slither just past his post. Moments later, Italy got on the scoreboard. Vasilevski blocked Anton Bernard’s shot, only for Tomasso Traversa to spin onto the rebound and lift a backhand onto the top shelf. For Italy, that was the first World Championship goal against Russia since it tallied in a 1-7 drubbing in 2008. It was only the second this century.

 

Sadly for the neutrals, any hopes of the Italians making a game of it ended 71 seconds later with another Russian power play goal. This time it was a Lightning bolt: Tampa Bay’s Vladislav Namestnikov fed his clubmate Nikita Kucherov for a wrist shot from the top of the circle.

 

Cloutier’s blocker got a piece of it, but not enough to keep it out and Russia had its two-goal cushion once again. And Lightning struck again in the 35th minute as Kucherov returned the favour with a delightful feed for Namestnikov to rifle home a fourth. Kucherov’s reward was a stick in the face from Diego Kostner on his next shift, and the subsequent power play saw Anton Belov ding a rasping shot against the post before Panarin slid home number five from a tight angle to maintain Russia’s 100% PP conversion rate.

 

Russia swapped goalies during the second intermission, giving CSKA Moscow’s Ilya Sorokin his first taste of the action here in Cologne.

 

But it was Cloutier who had the busier Sunday afternoon as the Red Machine motored to two more power play goals. First, Sergei Plotnikov stuffed the puck home from close range to make it six, then Sergei Mozyakin whipped in a seventh with a trademark PP move familiar to anyone who has followed his exploits in this season’s KHL.

 

With Italy in disarray, Russia’s Tampa Bay axis combined once again for Namestnikov to claim his second of the game, stretching the lead to 8-1, before Mozyakin rattled the underside of the bar. Another PP brought yet another goal, Panarin exchanging passes with Mozyakin before making it nine. Panarin had chances to complete his hat-trick, but the final word fell to Andronov. The CSKA Moscow man finished the rout he started by taking Russia into double figures with one minute left to play.

Tour de chapeau!

Kroselj great but no match for MacKinnon's hatter

 

Nathan MacKinnon made it look easy--the whole team did--beating a game Slovenia, 7-2, despite some fine goaltending from a beleaguered Gasper Kroselj.

 

Kroselj faced 44 shots, many of them first-rate scoring chances, but he could do only so much on his own.

 

Chad Johnson, making his first career start in the World Championships, faced just 12 shots.

 

Slovenia had never beaten Canada in the only three previous meetings, and it was clear from the outset that history wouldn't be made today.

 

Canada was superior in every aspect of the game, so much so that fans watched in awe as Canada moved the puck around with ease and cheered Slovenia’s every long shot, pokecheck, or small play that flummoxed Canada ever so briefly.

 

Canada now improves to 2-0 this year and has won 21 of its last 22 World Championship games. Slovenia is now 0-2 (one shootout loss).

Several Canadians had big games. Defenceman Tyson Barrie had a goal and two assists; Travis Konecny had three helpers; and, Mitch Marner had a pretty goal and assist.

 

Canada gave fans their money’s worth, starting with a goal by Barrie after a nice bit of circling by Wayne Simmonds. Barrie took a little drop pass and whisked a shot through heavy traffic in front past Kroselj at 4:30 to make it 1-0.

 

Canada didn’t get its second until ten minutes later, but again it came after a lengthy puck possession and ended with MacKinnon pushing a loose puck in the crease over the goal line.

 

Less than two minutes later, Kroselj, who had made several fine saves, was beaten by his own defenceman. Brayden Point tried to centre the puck, but it bounced off the skate of Luka Vidmar and past the surprised goalie.

 

Canada made it 4-0 on a highlight-reel play. Calvin de Haan fed a streaking Claude Giroux with a pass. Giroux pirouetted in front and got a shot off, but Kroselj made the save. MacKinnon, though, was unguarded in front and put the rebound in at 4:44.

 

The scoring continued. MacKinnon scored his hat-trick goal a minute later on a power play, drilling a high shot over Kroselj’s glove that had the crowd oohing and aahing. 

 

Slovenia got on the board on a memorable play. After a faceoff win in their own zone, the Slovenes roared up ice, Robert Sabolic feeing a nice pass to captain Jan Mursak streaking for the net. Mursak made a nice deflection past the pad of Chad Johnson to make it 5-1. 

 

Marner got a sixth Canada goal, taking a pass in front and outwaiting half the Slovenian team before chipping the puck in the open net.

Jeff Skinner made it 7-1 on a crazy play inside the Slovenia end. He tried to pass to the point from the faceoff dot, but the puck hit the shaft of Ales Music's stick and deflected over the hunched back of Kroselj.

 

Jan Urbas got the second Slovenia goal at 17:55 during a delayed penalty against Canada. 

 

Canada is back at it tomorrow, playing Belarus. The Slovenes have a day off before facing Norway in an important game for both teams as they hope to avoid relegation.
