Russian national hockey team lost in the first match of the Euro Tour. Wards Oleg Znarka ceded Finland to the Cup “Karyaly” with the score 1: 2. Goal Ilya Kovalchuk owners immediately responded to its accurate throw, but in the third period caused a stir on the power play.
On the eve of the World Cup hockey Eurotrip is no longer perceived as a friendly tournament or training camp for young player. He understands and is a mentor of the Russian team Oleg Znarok. In the first stage – Finnish Cup “Karyaly” – the coach called out as many players who have every chance to be on the world championship. It will be something it is in Moscow and St. Petersburg.
Do not get to keep the team unless Alexander Radulov. Forward CSKA Moscow in the first day of training the team announced that his wife, a silver Olympic medalist in rhythmic gymnastics Daria Dmitrieva, is about to give birth to a child. The team decided that a player can be released at such an important event.
But do not think that Znarok completely forgot about the important function of the Euro Tour as eyeliner youth. Several players, clearly manifested itself at the beginning of the new season of the KHL, he picked up in Helsinki. On the first Cup match against Finland in the application proved once three debutant team – Vitaly Menshikov, Nikita Gusev Vladislav Kartaev.
At the gates stood up 20-year-old Ilya Sorokin, has previously attracted to the team. CSKA goalkeeper was replaced by experienced Koshechkina Basil, whose match with Suomi might arise unpleasant memories – a year ago, he missed out on the “Hartwall Arena ‘six goals.
The game started slowly Znarka wards – all the links needed to once again roll out. There was not enough communication between attackers and defenders, because of what occurred periodically unpleasant moments at the gates of Sorokin.
Denisov in the 15th minute seemed to say “Enough!” And called for partners gather. His shot from the blue line could cost dearly Juha Metsole, which was rescued by a ricochet from his own defender – the puck went wide.
Cry defender Igor Grigorenko heard. Forward CSKA diverted the attention of the Finns on the right flank, but was able to give a great pass on the course of Ilya Kovalchuk. The captain of the team at this point if the hand up, like Doctor Octopus, and he was able to redirect the ball into the goal.
The joy of a goal was short-lived. Sorokin had to immediately block the throw Anssi Salmela. The attack continued and ended offensive swing Lasse Kukkonen – puck flew into the far corner, and substitute a trap Sorokin could not.
In the second period had to play without Grigorenko – forward before half time to get injured. Immediately after the throw home ice could come forward, but the bar saved the Russians. A little zeal to bring down the Finns helped first removal of the match. After the restoration of the strength of the Russians have kept an equal game and at times looked better than the opponent, letting a dagger to make counterattacks.
By the end of 20-minute hockey fight It developed into the present, and the referees had to reopen the gate to the penalty box. Punished was Victor Antipin. This decision angered Kovalchuk, and he threw himself into a heated argument with the referees, because of which was a ten-minute penalty.
Without Russia captain did not know how to attack. I forgot about it and the Finns. Only after the removal Vitaly Menshikov managed to unload the center of the site and the game moved to the guest gate.
It’s fast embodied in another goal Suomi. Finns have until recently played a combination of long and bounce from the ridge Nikita Zaitsev helped her to finish. Goal was recorded on Petri Kontiola.
In the last minutes of the match, the national team has gathered and tried to pull the game due to personal skills, including the same Kovalchuk, but not enough time. Eurotrip started with a defeat for the Russians.
