I think its all about Malkin , i know hockey is a team game BUT that team is bulid around Malkin ! If he performs well we will destroy sweden , if not maybe a lucky victory or a tie IMO.

Hopefully we win. Not only this game, but the whole tournament. We deserve it. Because we are the best. :yo:

Talk about being modest... :D

I'm predicting Russia but not in a cakewalk.2 goal spread.That could be pretty bold not having seen the Swedish team play however.

4-3 Sweden. The Russians usually start slowly.

Russia 4 Sweden 3

Russia will be down late and then show off their skill in the final period.

Malkin :yo:

Russia 6 Sweden 3

GO RUSSIA :yo: :yo:

i say 5-2 russia

OT win for the Russians. Should be an exciting game, too bad TSN decided to broadcast tUS game over this one.

Sweden 2 - 7 Russia.

Game start: 19:00

what kind of time is this? If it's north american time it should be 7pm.

well,we are still aware of the 24 hour clock system and it causes less confusion so i'm sure that's why he used it.

I'm going to the game tonite and it starts 7pm pst or 10pm eastern time. I'm looking forward to watching Canuck prospect and Kelowna Rocket defensman Alex Edler playing for Sweden tonite. Should be a good one.

4-2 Russia

now i can go to sleep,
the only bad thing is that it is 7:09 am where i am.

Did Bergfors get POTG for Sweden.

Very disappointing. I thought we would do much better than this. Can´t say im surprised.

As USUAL we seem to have outshot Russia, but the efficiency in our offense is as usual horrible. :shakehead

If anyone went to the game, I'm curious to see how Russia played.

woohoo! 5-1 now! :bow:
O.K............what's the deal with Malikn?

The superior player in the game(please telll me the truth) or was he ordinary or just good and the Team just played well.Unbiased opinion please!!!

If anyone went to the game, I'm curious to see how Russia played.
Yeah,tell me about it. :)

Malkin got 1g, 1a, but I didn't watch the game...Can't tell you how he played...

Nice start for team Russia!! Though I'd like to hear some feedback from people that saw the game.

Emelin baby, wasnt he supposed to go higher in the draft than he actually did in 2004?

How did Edler do for Sweden?

Was at the game and Malkin stood out as clearly the best player on the ice. He wowed the crowed many times. Once he walked through 2 Dmen on a 1 on 2 but couldnt finish. Another time he basically circled around the entire offensive zone basically took on the entire Swedish team and then centered the puck and created 3 great scoring chances. He easily could have had 2 or 3 more goals and assists. He certainly didn't disappoint, they just need to get him the puck more. Also he did quite a celebration on his goal, looked like he was trying to outdue Ovechkin.

As for Edler, he wasn't very noticable except when he took 2 penalties early. Can't say much about him.

He's scary eh? so big and smooth.He's trouble.

sweden outshot russia, still lost 5-1. disappointing.

how did Emelin played for Russia? or has i guess no one knew him so in general, how the Russia Defense played and who stood out of the bunch.

Much appraciated.

I was very impressed with Emelin, he was the only defenseman that stood out to me. I don't know who owns his NHL rights but I would love the Canucks to have him. Emelin is smooth and looks like a veteran out there.

Malkin is everything I have heard about and more. He can turn it on like a switch and more. For a big guy he plays and moves like a 5'8" forward.

Team Sweden really disapointed me, Malkin went around the defensemen like they weren't there and all they did was stick check. Swedish forwards could of had a cortain of eggs under their sweaters and not broken them.

I was also really disapointed with Swedish head coach, he didn't start Kelowna Rocket defenseman Alex Edler and benched him for the rest of the game after taking two penalties early in the game. Both penalties weren't bad ones so why bench him in front of his home club fans?

I guess this is why Sweden is a HAS BEEN HOCKEY POWER!

thank you very much he is a habs property he was drafted like a kind of.. Kasparaitis a little crazy.. but if his offensive game or defensive game is getting better than good. :)

emelin is the rights of the habs

eh sure sweden lost 5-1 which is bad, but we did outshot the russians so i guess we're not totally crap. I would say that we dont have any goalie.

i guess Khoudobin played great? anyone see the game that could let me know? also wondering how Voloshenko, Lyamin, and Salmonsson looked in the game? thanks to any1 who could let me know.

Just watched 15 min. review of the game.

Swedes had only 3-4 moments in the games, but Khudobin was good and made key saves. Their goal was lucky shot from bad angle.
Russia had tons of moments. Malkin blasted good slapshot (like 2nd goal against Czhech Rep.) when Russia tied the game. After that he skated through Sweden Defence like knife through butter. Just another level. :bow:
Kulemin showed awesome skills when he scored GWG : outplayed Dman and put the puck on top shelf with nice wrish shot and also showed nice speed when he scored his shortie.
Our 2nd line with with Ogorodnikov, Radulov and Voloshenko showed nice team play when we scored our 3rd. Radulov assited to Ogorodnikov who was alone but hit the post and then Voloshenko was on the right place and put the puck after rebound to the net. Shirokov just was in the right place when he scored. Radulov also had 1-on-1 moment when he caught pass on the blueline and skated alone to the net but couldn't outplay goalie. #22 was damn good from moments I've seen, but not as good as #17 ;)

Zubarev and Lyamin pair was bad. Almost all (3 or 4) Sweden momens had happened when this pair was on the ice.

Does anyone know where I can find online hilights of this game? I want to see what Malkin has to offer with my own eyes. Thanks in advance.

Kaizer can you post the goals please ?

You are very wrong on both points, the Swedish goalie played a good game and was the only player that showed up last night. Sure the Swedes out shot the Russians, but they were all perimider shots from the side. The Russians went to the net and the Swedes didn't break a sweat.

I watched Sweden play in a pre-tournament game and again their goaltending is weak which is going to hurt them in this tourney....

Malkin's was the second goal right? If so his backhand shot reminds me a lot of Crosby's backhand. They are going to be a terror out there on the PP together. But I truly hope that they each center a line in the years to come. It would be a shame to move either of them. Thanks again for sharing, I am sure that I am not the only one who appreciates how easy it was to access.

No. They didn't show it in higlhights. Scorers on video are : Kulemin (2:1), Voloshenko(3:1), Shirokov(4:1), Kulemin(5:1). Both of Kulemin goals were sweet as combination prior and goal of Voloshenko .

BTW, There is direct link to the video :
mms://video.rfn.ru/rtr-sport/30940.asf

PS As you can see that backhand didn't lead to the goal : Ogordnikov hit the post after good assist by Radulov and only after that Voloshenko who was at far post scored on rebound.

Well then Voloshenko has a pretty wicked backhand shot. Even though he obviously copied it from Crosby . . . ;)
