I'm glad they won but against Spain or Italy that could kill them.

You may rethink that:

2:0 was not enough for the plenty of 100% chances they had, although the Russians played well. I counted a two-digit number of top chances for them, 10 all in all, but scoring only two. With that goal efficiency, they will not survive Holland, and they will not have as many chances as the Swedes allowed them. the play was great, but if the Russians can repeat that performance level, also is a question. the team is young and still finds together, so I expect a more up-and-down way of going for their team's results. I expect them to be a strong contender in the next international major event, however. As people say: the future is theirs. |
If you did like me - no realizing the
already given strength of the Russians, this may be the right time to correct that.
Impressive is that they are all playing in russia except one guy. Peterburgh did not win the championsleague by chance only. They keep their things together, one could say. It pays off to be financially independant and keep all talents together.
and haven't they become icehockey world champions again after so and so many long years?
Germany needs to face them in the next qualification. that could become a major headache.
Had to work, did not see much of the match.
