This is becomming to be hilariously insane !!! Slovakia the true real Penalty Killing mastas We played 4 minutes in a row 3 vs 5 and still haven´t received any goal, and this is not even our top team. Seriously, if there something we are among the top nations in the world in this sport, it is definitely our play during opponents power plays.

This new "Delaying the game" rule after two faults in the face-offs is the most stupid thing that have been invented in hockey ever !!! Just saw it for the first time in my life. what exactly happened ? our player was send to the penalty box, Power play for Austria, logically face-off in our defensive zone, but the Austrian center committed a faul, the ref gave hime first warning, so the face-off has been replayed but the Austrian guy (the same) committed again a fault getting his stick to the ice too early and the result, the referee send him to the penalty box for 2 min minor penalty for delaying the game...so 2 minutes 4 on 4, the guy was watching like WTF is happening, he clearly had no idea about this new rule

Sure, it´s not the strongest Russian squad ever, but I don´t think this team is so modest, almost the same roster won the Deutschland Cup last month, it´s still a team formed by young KHL players and potential Russian A team for next years. But I do agree, that the match was quite boring, all our matches may looks like this now, this is the game play under Craig Ramsey. We focus more on the well organized defense, if you take a look on our matches since Ramsey became the coach, you´ll hardly find a game when our opponent scored against us more than 2-3 goals. also his biggest mark is our penalty killing. Last WCh for example SVK was the best team in PK stats, if I remember correctly we received only 1 goal during opponents power plays. the same in the Deutschland Cup, I was just amazed by our play during opponents PPs. Today (even if not in so impressive way I must admit) it was still again a 100% PK efficiency for us against Russia "B" even if they played, like you noticed, quite a lot of PPs. looks any team we send to a international tournament, this is a thing they trains the most now, The problem is really the offensive part. It´s very bad, we need a lot of chances to score a goal. We really need to finally find some real top scorers..this task will be the biggest challenge for Ramsey before the WCh.
