Sweden - Finland 2-0 HIGHLIGHTS

Sweden puts Finns in dire straits Lundqvist leads Tre Kronor to key 2-0 win in Group B Finland and Sweden battled for an important two points in the Group B standings this afternoon at the Air Canada Centre. Henrik Lundqvist made his first start of the World Cup in fine fashion, stopping all 36 shots and leading Sweden to a 2-0 victory over Finland. Anton Stralman scored in the second and Loui Eriksson added one into an empty net with 2.6 seconds remaining to seal a 2-0 win. The result deals a crushing blow to Finland's chances to advance to the semi-finals. “I don’t think we’ve played our best hockey yet," Ericsson suggested, "but the team is like an engine. Everyone is doing what they have to to be successful within the team. At the same time, I think we can improve, control the game better. But we’ve done what we’ve had to so far.” Only a series of fortuitous events can help them, starting with Suomi beating Russia in regulation on Thursday and Sweden beating North America in regulation. If that were to happen, North America, Russia, and Finland would be tied with two points each at which point goal differential would decide matters. Unfortunately for the Finns, they're at -5, Russia is even, and North America +2, so the odds are not in Finland's favour. "We’re disappointed," said Finnish goalie Tuukka Rask, "but I thought we played a great game today, especially after a very poor effort against the young team. Now we have to deal with it and see what tomorrow brings. We still have one game left." The only reasonable scoring chance of the opening period came when Nicklas Backstrom rang a hard shot off the crossbar in behind Rask late in the proceedings. In fact, it wasn’t until midway through the game that fans saw the puck cross the red line. Not surprisingly, it came off a play orchestrated by the sixth-sense passing of the Sedin twins. Daniel curled and whipped a pass to Henrik in behind the goal. Henrik came out to th side of the net and slid a nifty pass to defenceman Stralman who was at the top of the crease, and Stralman beat Patrik Laine to the puck, red-recting it past Rask at 9:57. "Daniel did a good job down low and got the puck behind the net," Henrik Sedin said. "I saw Anton sliding in from the point, and I was able to find him." Laine had a great chance on a late power play to tie the game, but his great shot was stopped by the even greater glove hand of Lundqvist. Sweden played stifling defence in the third period, but captain Mikko Koivu did have one close-in chance to tie the score, but Lundqvist was there to save the day. “He’s the backbone of the team," Ericsson added, "so it’s good to know when you step on the ice that if you make a mistake it's not going to be the end of the world.”

North America - Russia 3-4 HIGHLIGHTS

Russia survives thriller Four goals in second enough in 4-3 win over North America Evgeni Kuznetsov scores the third Russian goal, skating around Morgan Rielly and beating Matt Murray under the arm. Russia scored four goals in a six-minute span of the second period, chasing Matt Murray from the North American goal and surviving a ferocious onslaught in the final two minutes to prevail, 4-3. With goalie John Gibson on the bench for a sixth attacker, and North America on a power play, Shayne Gostisbehere wired a shot off the post, missing tying the game by inches. The win throws Group B wide open. Sweden, Russia, and North America are tied with two points, and Finland, after one loss, is in fourth. That could change tomorrow when the Finns and Swedes meet. Only the top two teams advance to the semi-finals. "Our young guys stepped up today and Bobs [Bobrovsky] played well today," said Evgeni Kuznetsov, who scored the third Russian goal. "He was a well for us today." "They play a fast-paced style, and so do we, so when two teams like that play you're going to get an exciting game," said North American captain Connor McDavid. "But they turned the game into a track meet in the second, and that's not what we need against them. We let them build speed, and there were too big gaps between their forwards and our defence." The North Americans got the only goal of the opening period on what can only be described as vintage Connor McDavid. He drove down the right wing along the boards, fighting off the experienced Pavel Datsyuk all the way and picking up speed, no less. McDavid then slide a perfect pass to Auston Matthews racing to the net. Matthews had only to get his stick on the ice to redirect it into the open goal at 5:15. It was a highlight goal between last year’s first overall draft pick and this year’s. But North America was more than just speed and skill. Goalie Matt Murray was again the backbone of the team, and defensively they were virtually letter perfect, checking the Russians quickly, moving the puck up ice with speed, and taking time away from their opponents. Only once did the Russians have sustained possession in the North Americans’ end, and Murray was letter perfect. The kids came out strong in the second and fans rose in unison as McDavid got a loose puck and went in alone on goal. He tried a fancy stuff-deke, though, which didn’t fool Bobrovsky. It was a miss that would prove costly. It took a while, but Russia finally started to assert itself. Vladislav Namestnikov got things going with a nice play…and a little luck. Murray stopped a shot from Ivan Telegin but couldn’t control the rebound. Namestnikov got to the puck, but his shot hit the post. The puck bounced back and hit Murray’s pad as he lay on the ice, trickling into the net at 9:29 to make it a 1-1 game. In typical Russian fashion, they struck again just 50 seconds later. This time Nikita Kucherov smacked a loose puck in front that beat a surprised Murray, and North American found itself behind for the first time in the tournament. It got worse before it got better. Evgeni Kuznetsov made it 3-1 when he beat Morgan Rielly to the outside and then took a shot which squeaked through Murray’s arm. Two minutes later, Vladimir Tarasenko wheeled and fired off the rush, beating Murray who clearly had lost his confidence. Coach Todd McLellan had little choice but to pull him in favour of John Gibson. The North Americans did get one back before the end of the period. Rielly corralled a blocked shot and rifled a wrist shot past the glove of Bobrovsky at 17:56 to make it 4-2. North America got one goal back at 3:01 of the third on a power play. Nathan MacKinnon made a cute pass in front to Ryan Nugent-Hopkins who poked the puck in to make it 4-3 with plenty of time remaining, but that fourth goal never came.

Czech Republic - Team Europe 2-3 (OT) HIGHLIGHTS

Draisaitl scores OT winner Team Europe wins again, puts Czechs in a deep hole Team Europe and the Czech Republic played a hard-fought game this afternoon at the ACC. Leon Draisaitl beat Petr Mrazek on a breakaway at 2:06 of overtime off a perfect pass from Mats Zuccarello to give Team Europe a dramatic 3-2 win over the Czech Republic. The Europeans are now 2-0 and in great position to qualify for the semi-finals. The Czechs fall to 0-2 and must beat the United States on Thursday to have any chance of playing in the final four. "It feels great to score in such a big game," Draisaitl said. "A breakaway or shootout is really 50-50, so I decided to shoot. Fortunately, it went in." "We're very excited with what we've done in these two games," captain Anze Koitar said of his team's two wins to start the World Cup. "But I think the score was closer than we wanted it to be. Still, we got the two points, and that's what we wanted. We know we've done something special so far, but we want to keep it going." The Europeans finish their round robin on Wednesday night against Canada, and even one point from that game would ensure a semi-finals spot for them. "We're enjoying ourselves and playing good hockey," Zuccarello enthused. "We're having fun at the rink and outside the rink. There are a lot of good guys and experienced guys here." "I've never seen a team come together as quickly in my 25 years of coaching," Ralph Krueger said. "And we're not done yet." The importance of this game could be seen in the tentative first period, 20 minutes dominated by a lack of action and a fear by all concerned of making a mistake. The best chance of the opening period came off the stick of large defenceman Zdeno Chara. The Team Europe blueliner had a clear shot that ricocheted off Mrazek’s stick and out of play. The Europeans, though, came out with greater purpose in the second. They had two quick power plays, the second of which drew a penalty shot when Czech defenceman Michal Kempny closed his hand on the puck in the crease at 2:31. But on the ensuing freebie Kopitar tried a cute deke that didn’t work. Nonetheless, the Europeans dominated, Mrazek the only Czech player involved in the game at all. The conglomerate was rewarded with a goal at 10:05 when Chara wired a quick shot from the side boards with Mrazek fighting to get back into position. To the Czechs’ credit, the goal fired them up. On the next shift they nearly tied the score, but Dennis Seidenberg made a nice swat at the puck off the goal line. Soon after, though, Jakub Voracek beat Halak to the far side at 13:28 to tie the game. The Europeans had a great chance to go ahead early in the third when they had a two-man advantage for 64 seconds, but all that came of the power play was a sensational glove save from Mrazek, who robbed Roman Josi point blank with a great glove save. Moments later, though, Mrazek flubbed an easy save with that same glove. Zuccarello skated down the left wing and drifted a routine shot on goal, but the puck squirted through Mrazek's glove and in at 2:17. Once again, though, the Czechs responded, this time on a power play at 8:31. Vladimir Sobotka's point shot went wide, but it bounced off the end boards and back out in front where Martin Hanzal swatted the puck in before Halak could react. That set the stage for overtime and Draisaitl's heroics.

thanks, but there no help to them, even Chuck Norris with a continuual transfunctioner wouldn´t be able to help them

I mean only for mens, we really don´t need it. our mens basketball sucks as heck...it´s not that we are not competitive in this sport...we actually never was. since our independance we barely win some matches. The second thing is that because our stupid laws about the sport state funding, which say that the amount of funds of the state for each sport is literally determined by the popularity of the sport in the country. and since mens team doesn´t interest anyone but really anyone, really it´s probably the less popular mens team in the country. most suffer of it the womens No seriously if you ask me it´s about a long while that I´m persuated that is Better to dissolve the whole mens section (at least for some years and TRY to keep working only with juniors) and move the whole focus and support to womens which deserve it much more.

Kapow! Bang! Zap! Kids win 4-1! North Americans dominate as Rinne peppered Connor McDavid and his Under-24 teammates dominated Finland in impressive fashion. These kids are more than alright; they’re downright spectacular. And anyone who thought their pre-tournament success was a fluke, well, think again. Team North America dominated Finland from start to finish, winning by a 4-1 score that could have been double that. The young guns outshot Finland, 43-25, and Matt Murray in the North American goal was rock solid, stopping all but one shot. "All four lines did their job," Auston Matthews said. "We put them on their heels and had a great game." Despite never being a team until ten days ago, the North Americans showed incredible chemistry, notably the top line of Connor McDavid-Matthews-Mark Scheifele. "I think it's a case of everyone thinks the game really well," McDavid suggested. "We've been juggling the lines quite a bit, so everyone has been playing with everyone else. We did some good stuff. We created quite a bit and didn't give anything up." Coach Todd McLellan couldn't agree more. "We're starting to form a team now. It was their play away from the puck that impressed me. They used their speed to catch their men and that was great to see." The first period was a combination of domination by the young guns and nerves in goal by Rinne. Had things gone more favourably for the North Americans, they might have had a three- or four-goal lead by the first intermission. "They skated hard. They won every battle. They're a great team. It's that simple," said a humbled Finnish coach Lauri Marjamaki. North America opened the scoring at 5:03 on a power play. Matthews took a shot from close range that Rinne couldn’t handle cleanly, and Jack Eichel was Johnny-on-the-spot to poke it in for a 1-0 lead. Soon after, the first of several pucks slid through Rinne’s pads only to stop on the goal line (confirmed by video review), and later Johnny Gaudreau bolted down the right wing and ripped a shot off the near post. Late in the period McDavid thought he had scored the second goal for the kids, but another review indicated goalie interference. Before the end of the period Rinne bobbled another harmless shot but managed to keep the puck out. The NAers came out in the second with even greater purpose and controlled the puck on a string. They made it 2-0 at 5:27 when Colton Parayko’s point shot was deftly tipped by height-challenged, skill-laden Johnny Gaudreau. Two minutes later, after a shift in which the Finns could not so much as get a stick on the puck, Jonathan Drouin took a shot which Rinne couldn’t control and popped his own rebound home. Parayko later recovered a bad pass by Valtteri Filppula inside the Finnish blueline and took a quick shot. Nathan MacKinnon was there with another rebound goal at 14:37. "We could have been up 3-0 after the first," Jack Eichel noted, "but we used that to gain momentum in the second, and shut them down in the third. We were able to open the game in the second with some big goals. We did a lot of things that we talked about before the game, which was good." The Finns broke Murray's shutout with four minutes left in the game when a loose puck came free in front and Filppula whacked it in. It was much too little, too late, though. The Finns now need to regroup before playing Sweden on Tuesday. The North Americans are right back tomorrow night against Russia in a game that should be a thrilling ride. Don’t miss it! Zing! Wham! Zap! The kids will give CCCP all it can handle.
