Canada too much for Belarus

Duchene nets game winner

Canada too much for Belarus

Canada's Corey Perry #24 celebrates with Ryan O'Reilly #90, Derick Brassard #19, Matt Duchene #9 and Cody Ceci #5 after score the opening goal of the game during preliminary round action at the 2016 IIHF Ice Hockey Championship.

 

 

 

Canada keeps rolling with an impressive 8-0 win over Belarus. They are undefeated against Belarus in World Championship history.

 

Canada remained undefeated at the 2016 IIHF World Championships with a 8-0 win over Belarus. Derick Brassard's first period goal stood up throughout as the game winner. 

 

Cam Talbot was strong in this his second start of the tournament. The Edmonton Oielrs netminder made 13 saves for his second win of the tournament and first shutout.

 

Canada has now beaten Belarus in all nine games they have faced each other in World Championship play going back to 1998 and have shut them out in consecutive games in as many years.

 

Last year as the Canadian juggernaut rolled through all ten teams they faced en route to gold, they defeated Belarus 9-0 in the quarterfinals. 

 

"There’s a lot of offense, there’s a lot of skill, there’s a lot of youth." Canada captain Corey Perry said. "I’ve said this since Day One: we’re excited to be here, put this jersey on, and play for our country."

 

Both teams traded chances over the first twenty minutes. Canada created opportunities through a pileup of bodies in front of the Belarus net with Connor McDavid getting a few pokes at the puck but not able to convert. Alexei Kalyuzhny sent a slapshot that was stopped by Talbot’s pad.

 

With 3:43 left in the first period, Canada struck. Brassard knocked in a Perry pass. Brassard’s quick release left Kevin Lalande almost helpless to stop the shot.

 

Brassard’s second of the tournament came on the power play with defenseman Kristian Khenkel in the box for holding an opponent. Later in the period, Brassard almost had another but his shot hit the crossbar. 

 

In the second Canada scored four goals in two flurries. Their first two goals in the period came almost three minutes apart and their final two exactly twenty seconds apart.

 

Perry scored at 1:03 of the second period. Ryan Murray deftly stripped the puck from Belarus forward Andrei Stas and sent an outlet pass up the ice to Perry who took it in and scored. 

 

With Brendan Gallagher sitting in the penalty box for slashing, Belarus tried to gain the Canadian zone but could not keep the puck in. Brody Jenner then led a two-on-one Jenner with Ryan O’Reilly. Jenner’s pass hit O’Reilly’s skate in stride and went in the net. The play was reviewed and ruled a goal. O’Reilly did not kick the puck into the net. 

 

Matt Duchene and Taylor Hall scored twenty seconds apart to make it 5-0. Hall’s goal was set up by McDavid who cycled the puck, drew three defenders before sending a nifty pass to Hall to shoot into a wide open net. Hall’s goal chased Lalande from the game and he was replaced with Dmitri Milchakov. 

 

"It’s the way they carry themselves in the offensive zone that, for me, is the most impressive, the way they hold on to the puck and find the little openings to make plays." Belarus skater Charles Linglet said. "It always seems like the puck lands on their sticks no matter what they try."

 

Early in the game, Belarus was much more disciplined than they were in their previous game but once Canada opened things up in the second they became undisciplined again taking three minors. Duchene's score came on the power play. Of course, Brad Marchand helped, spending most of the game trying his level best to get under their collective skin. 

 

O'Reilly added his second of the game in the third and Mark Stone and Michael Matheson finished the scoring for an 8-0 lead. Mark Scheifele had two assists in the period.

 

Canada is clicking now and line combinations are solidifying. They are still working things out, as are most teams, but the thought of Canada getting much better than this is a scary proposition for opponents the rest of the way through this tournament.

 

"It’s two different teams." O'Reilly said compaying this Team Canada to last year. "There are a few of us here who were here last year. Last year we were a more mature, older team. This year, I think we’re a little younger. We have to use our speed and be relentless with our possession of the puck."

    • I would say they will not be eligible. But it realy abotut the wording every federation has in its papers. World Aquatics changes their policies several times (especially after Mazepin "solved the issues" persoanlly - as witnessed one russian Olympic champion)   Inoirtnat notes on FIS decisions:   FIS points are frozen for ruissns and belorussians - so the situation is not so complicated for a lot of them. The list of the AIN`s is not final as the list from ISU was. It means that persons mau be not only removed from the list but added as well. I expect russians to try some freestyle applications before the stage in China, for example. FIS has not problems with the deny of visa or entris by the host countries. So they kept the possibility to close the doors for the russians for all the countries as ICF did. No sanctions for this, no removing events from the Olympic qualification list, no host changes,   * * * * * Here is the the relevant extract from FIS papers for Aerials tram event. What do you think?
    • Not only Korostelev but all 3 russian entries. I will bring the detail 
    • And will bet that the IBU is a lot richer than the FIS because their wealth is based on German TV contracts.  
    • Russians filed an appeal to CAS against IBU. But I do not believe they will get any result in time to grab quotas. I suppose IBU will not agree to have "fast" hearings as FIS did. And i suppose IBU will fight in CAS without intention to lose as FIS did.
    • hmm - aren't Australia and New Zealand the only nations that actually compete in the Oceania Cup?
    • If Australia and New Zealand earn quotas through Pro League, then does that mean 3rd placed team from Oceania Cup takes quota? 
    • Right now russians themselves metioned that they have 2 main options for women`s quota: - Peklecova will was not included into the international doping testing pool (RUSADA is still incompliant after that scandal) - D.Nepryaeva had training camps at the occupied territories - it is the best way to avoid of the international doping testing at all     P.S. Little detail - according to Vaelbe 90% of russian skiera are contracted with russian army or other security services.
    • We had no real problems with russians for a long time. It was a normal sport rivalry. It was common case that statues of russian politicians and poets remained in place even in the Western Ukraine which was joined by the Soviet Union much later. Lyskun was pro-Ukrainian according to her statement but she kept conctcts with her former coach. That coach moved to russia earlier and could do some brainwashing. I would say that the coach may have financial motivation to do this. By the way we had similar case with Bondar from Luhansk who moved to russia in 2014. What is really interesting - russians have a lot of resources but it took them 4 yeats to find someone relatively well-known in sport area to stage this propaganda performance.       Yes, this web-site is active and maintained. The list is beeing updated. But it is not an official goverment resource and it is operated by the non-goverment organization. It was created to draw attention of the national security services to the activities of some people and provide some initial foundations for further formal investigations.
    • AIN's will skipped (they got American visa too late) 2nd WC stage (but their could compete in 3rd WC stage) and, therefore, their chances to got more than 1 entry in OG have become lower, especially,  if their will not allow to compete in Sigulda (but after their participation in Poland's short-track WT stage, I won't give 100% chances for that).   Maybe problem with entries will be solved by itself)
