Russian hockey players were unable to oppose their colleagues from overseas, the team lost to Canada in the final. Even before the start of the game the most pessimistic fans among the Russians say, they say, was it worth it to beat Sweden and the United States to the final big cede Canada. But the vast majority still believed in the team.
And it provided the vast majority of the team Oleg Znarka resounding support in the stands of the arena in Prague. The Russian national team has played at home, the sound of “Kalinka” and “Katyusha”, they raced back to become the motto of the Russian athletes “Not Gonna Get Us”, and the stands were almost completely painted in red, blue and white colors of the Russian flag and chanted ” NEW JERSEY! Puck! ».
But the puck, unfortunately this evening threw the wrong gate mostly Canadians.
Bobrov was not enough
The whole first period, the best hockey player the last two matches of the Russian national team goalkeeper Sergei Bobrowski battled framed gate, like a lion, reflecting almost all opponent’s shots. Why almost? Because it is closer to the end of the first third, two minutes before the siren, Russia missed another attack. On the snout to turn the puck beautifully sketched Tyler Ennis. They fight with Andrei Mironov won the red-haired forward from the fourth Canadian executives, Cody Eakin, or stick, or still skate ferried the puck into our net. The goalkeeper was just physically unable to repel the attack – 0: 1.
The second period began with the thunderous attacks the opponent. And at the end of the second minute of the second period, scored again the fourth link opponent doubled result. This time as an assistant performed the very Eakin, and the role of scorer -Ennis Tyler, who received the ball at speed and without any problems at the gate left on all of the same Mironov. Bobrowski did not have time to move into the far corner, where Tyler, having passed the gate and sent the puck – 0: 2.
The third washer did not have to wait long. 29 played, scored the captain of the Canadian squad, teammate Evgeni Malkin, Sidney Crosby. He’s got a cool transfer from behind the gate and sent a powerful throw it over your shoulder Bobrowski right under the crossbar – 0: 3.
The fourth blow to the Russian team suffered just a minute later. Canadians have implemented a delayed penalty, although the aid in the attack sixth field player, “Maple Leaf” is practically not required. Claude Giroux broke through our defense, rolled out to the far goal post. But the throw was not comfortable, so he sang in turn transmit a partner – Tyler Seguin could only get into an empty corner of the goal – 0: 4.
The fifth goal we conceded in the minority. For time-wasting was removed Shirokov. Canada for the implementation of the majority needed in seconds. Sidney Crosby, fetch our goal, played an excellent transfer to the far post, where his partner, Claude Giroux, could only get into an empty corner – Bobrowski physically did not have time to move – 0: 5.
And in the sixth minute and the puck flew into the goal by Sergei Bobrov. Nathan MacKinnon broke through on the left wing and powerfully threw on goal against Russia. Bobrowski, unfortunately, wrong, could not resist the puck into the trap. She flew right behind our keeper – 0: 6.
To win back at least one goal was only 53 minutes. Sergei Mozyakin once again get to the front of goal, powerfully flicked from the blue line. In the course of just throwing the puck corrected Evgeni Malkin. The goalkeeper could not respond – 1: 6.
Where is thin, there and tore
And do not say that the Russian team is not attacked. Our raids were not as prolonged as that of Canada, but they were no less sharp. One on one with the goalkeeper and the Canadians jumped Ovechkin, who threw straight at the goalkeeper, and Malkin, schёlknuvshy wide. There were also the bar and the bar – no luck. And certainly impacted fatigue. Hockey players – that is what the players that had never recognized that for four hours and no less than the rest of the morning rolling somehow affected the game. But believe me, it is. And then there’s the peak acclimatization flown during the tournament Alexander Ovechkin just fell on a Sunday, when we played the final.
But the biggest concern was for the defense, which has the third consecutive match played in three pairs – each defender was forced to spend an average of 20 minutes on the floor, no less – a staggering figure, especially when matches are held between less than a day . All other defencists us to the finals were in the hospital.
Where is thin, there and tear. And in this meeting at least the first two goals were abandoned after the error defensive players. Rather, a player who at the optimal scenario, the primary advocate should not have been provided – Andrei Mironov.
Do not unseemly, of course, all dogs descend on one defender. But this situation will almost certainly cause many to think again, and how correct it was the only solution remaining for dozayavki place invite tired in the NHL Ovechkin with the inevitable acclimatization and restructuring after the American of the time difference. Maybe it was worth to invite the defense to this place?
But the question will remain unanswered. As well as this defeat the Russian team, the largest in the World Cup finals in the XXI century, will remain in the annals of history. But hardly anyone dares to throw a stone in the garden of our players who fought with the strongest Canadian team of all they brought to the world championships in the last 10-15 years.
