Russia loses another goalie, edges Czech Republic in overtime
QUEBEC CITY – The much hyped Russian team was put to a test in its second game of the tournament against the Czech Republic. Yes, they passed the test with a 5-4 overtime win, but the game was a testament to the hockey sense of the Czech players....Russia came to the game oozing with self-confidence after their 7-1 blowout over Italy on Friday. They got the first goal at 3:47 when Sergei Zinoviev picked up his own rebound and lifted the puck behind Milan Hnilicka. Penalties proved to be the Russians’ Achilles heel tonight. All Czech goals were scored on power play. First Patrik Elias scored on a zig-zag goal that had the puck go from Marek Zidlicky to Jaroslav Hlinka to Elias who tipped it in for 1-1, then Ales Kotalik gave the Czechs a 2-1 lead in the first period on a similar play.

Semen Varlamov (Washington Capitals) injured during practice
 Semen Varlamov (Washington Capitals) suffered a foot injury during practice and will definitely miss the preliminary round games of the World Championships. The young netminder is also doubtful for the entire tournament and there has been talk of sending him to back to Moscow for treatment. The young player himself has denied these latest rumors and has said that the injury should heal, though not specifying what it is. Varlamov has played very well during his second season as the starting goalie for HC Lokomotiv, backstopping his club to the Super League finals. The Team Russia starting job will now fall on his Super League finals opponent Alexander Eremenko , who actually got the better of Varlamov in the championship series, winning the gold medals in 5 games. | | 04/29/2008 |
Canada gets an early wakeup call (Russia beats Canada)
QUEBEC — At least Ken Hitchcock knew it was coming. The Canadian coach predicted Monday morning that his team was in for a “wakeup call” just hours before it was beaten 4-1 by Russia in the final exhibition game before the start of the IIHF World Hockey Championship. Hockey Canada scouts had watched Russia's 6-2 win over Switzerland a night earlier in nearby Trois-Rivieres, Que., and told Hitchcock that they would be a handful. “I think overall this is going to be the wakeup call we need,” Hitchcock said before the game. “I think tomorrow we're going to know exactly what we need to work on.

2008 U18 World Junior Championships - WC Under-18: Russia edges Canada in classic show down.
 Kazan – With a great performance by its second and third line, the championship hosts rally past Canada to get out with a 4-2 win in the long-awaited match against Russians’ main rivals. The game has started well for Canadians, who had some chances especially because of strong play by their frontman Jordan Eberle. Pechursky was solid in the crease and at the fifth minute Russia got the first good moment as Kulikov launches Petrov in the offensive zone with a great diagonal pass. The home talent centers in for the rushing Nikita Filatov , who doesn’t manage to hook up the puck just in front of Canadian netminder Jake Allen. Canada has played their usual physical kind of hockey they always display in international tournaments, sometimes well over the edge, and in the game they suffered of many penalties because of dirty hits, even if maybe a bit less than they should got. But the one who got ejected was a Russian, as at the thirteenth period the referees whistle a Butt Ending, game misconduct penalty against hot prospect Nikita Filatov . CSKA player will be substituted in the top line by Anton Lazarev . Even without their best player the Russians remain strong as they work out very well to kill the long 5 minutes shorthand period, leaning on Pechusrky’s shoulders, capable to stop in stile Cuma at the sixteenth minute in the rush that was probably Canada’s best chance of the first twenty minutes.

Russia wins the EuroTour title!
Russia have won the Euro Hockey Tour in front of a passionate home crowd, coming from behind to beat rivals Finland to claim the title. To claim overall victory in the Euro Tour they had to win this game, which they did, but not before giving the home crowd at the sold-out CSKA arena in Moscow a scare. The Russian frontline seemed incapable of threatening the Finnish defence in the opening period. Finland, on the other hand, had plenty of scoring opportunities. Sean Bergenheim took full advantage of one of them in the sixth minute to make it 1-0 to Finland. The Finns went on to control the opening period.
