Russian national hockey team will fight in the playoffs the World Youth Championship match against Denmark. With Canada’s wards Valery Bragin can not meet until the final. “Times” provides an overview of the last round of the group stage.
Russia – Slovakia – 2: 1 (1: 0, 1: 1, 0: 0)
From the Russian team in the match with Slovakia in the last round was required to win – no matter in regulation time, or after. Then the first place in group B became once and for all is reserved for the actions of the vice-champions. Slovaks also did not care about any tournament layouts. They are in any case became fourth in the quintet, and in 2014 this place also allows you to exit in the playoffs.
The first warm-up period, except it was not called, and for both teams. But this Unrolling held under the dictation of the Russians. The first in a real fight came fourth link, and in the 16th minute the score was opened through the efforts of Arthur Louth from “Vanguard” – forward valiantly struggled to patch.
But before this goal sounded the alarm bell when, being in the minority wards Valery Bragin stepped back and allowed the Slovaks to throw the ball Alexander Georgiev. The double numerical superiority at the end of the period, they did come out ahead on this indicator at the break.
Fortunately, in the locker room Bargain reminded how to act in the minority, and the new removal, which the arbitrators were generous, were no longer intimidating. In equal compositions Russians all began to act bolder and sharper. So I managed to throw a second goal – Paul Kraskovsky could not get the goal and Piglet, from the rod projectile bounced back to Egor Rykov, who has thrown for accuracy.
The advantage of two goals inspire confidence, but it turned out to possess long. During the game “4 on 4″ immediately after removing Andrew Svetlakova, Slovaks have won the face-off and Christian Yarosh dropped almost due circle. Georgiev did not see the puck and let print your gates.
Coincidentally, in the third period, some bad luck made all washers Russians fly in the top of the bar, the bar, making removal again began to instill fear.
But when five minutes before the meeting Slovaks completely stopped trying to implement too much, then the outcome of the match was clear. Russia for the first time since 2007, started with four wins in the World Youth Championship and confidently advanced to the playoffs.
Denmark – United States – 1: 4 (1: 1, 0: 1 0: 2)
This game could define the first opponent of Russians in the tournament grid. The Danes are unbeaten in the case of the United States most of the time is automatically occupied in Group A fourth place. Such a fate would seem best for the wards of Bragin, but the Scandinavians would be worth a closer look better. Still, they were victorious over Switzerland and opened the scoring with Canada.
The Danes do not take a back seat and before the United States and had to get the first goal of the American team. Only seven minutes later, came the reply from Ostonov Matthews, who became the best scorer of the tournament.
«Stars and Stripes” was something to fight for in this game. Chance bypass Canada in the group falls every time in the second half, the United States still come out ahead. Do away with the Danes helped two quick goals in the third half, after which all of the sensations could forget.
The Americans not only did Denmark rival Russia in the playoffs, but also prevent the possibility of a meeting with the “maple leaf” until the final. A rival for the quarterfinals they could find on the results of games in Finland and the Czech Republic.
Finland – Czech Republic – 5: 4 (0: 0, 3: 3, 2 1)
The first period of the match, which was determined by the second and third team Group B, it can be called a perfect example of hockey. The Finns and Czechs did not stint on clever attack, and judges do not have to whistle the players to remind them about sportsmanship. Only thing missing was goals.
This issue has been resolved after 57 seconds after the break. The hosts took the lead of the championship because of the quickness of the tournament’s top scorer Ecce Pulyuyarvi. But in less than ten minutes as an accurate throw Roope Suomi Hinz only allowed to equalize performance. This was followed by drawing of excess, but to break the team is still left with a draw score – 3: 3.
Equal throughout the game continued in the third period. To reply to a goal by Michael Spacek, Finns wait for the new numerical advantage, and took up the case again Pulyuyarvi. Soon the Czechs withdrew again, for which he paid again – until Shimon Stransky ran out of the box, Patrick Laine has already raised his hand with a club.
To take away from full “Hartwall Arena” festival none of the Czechs did not dare. Finland won and came in second place in the group, but they feared the meeting with Canada in the quarterfinals. Czech Republic also came to the United States.
