Technically, this game did not have a concept of the tournament intrigue. There is little doubt that the Finns and the Russians and finally in the playoffs get. But with a place – is another question. In fact, last night on “Hartwall Arena” the fate of the first place in Group B, which almost certainly will avoid in the 1/4 final meeting with someone from the trio of Sweden – Canada – US acting quintet A.
However, the head coach, “Suomi” Jukka Jalonen no secret that the match against Russia is important for him, regardless of tournament layouts. It turned out, the expert can not forget their bad experiences in the SKA St. Petersburg in 2012-2014.
– For me the match against Russian special – said Jalonen reporters. – Because I worked there a year and half in the St. Petersburg SKA, I want to beat them, just as they are – my team. From the first match of the Russians looked a period which is good, as always, the team. They think more about playing defense, while they have a lot of overall forwards who try to bring us trouble.
But the Russians after the start of nervous trembling in the first match against the Czechs (2: 1) seems to have calmed down, and preparing for a responsible game in normal mode.
– The Finns have no surprise: they play as the main team and how “Jokerit” – stated the representative of the coaching staff of Russians Oleg Bratash.
On compared to the game against the Czech team, the composition of our team has not changed. Yegor Korshkov recovered, the victim after the push on board, and place in the “box” again took Alexander Georgiev. I say for certain that in the last match, Sasha was the best player among the Russians. Plus Georgiev plays for Finnish RTD and with the players, “Suomi” sign is not hearsay.

The meeting began without swinging. At the fifth minute of the owners of the ice with a breakaway attack: first throw Georgiev reflected, and was the first to rebound Sebastian Aho – 1: 0.
However, we are in the role of catch-up for long. At the end of the match with the Czechs coaching staff complained about the poor game in the majority. It seems that this component in the team worked thoroughly: at the first opportunity the Russians played too much. In the seventh minute Cyril Vagaries in touch locked cool translation of Maxim Lazarev – 1: 1.
However, the picture on the ice has not changed much. Finns continued to press: the middle of the first period in the asset Russians had only two shots against six opponent. Before the break, the red light behind a goal Georgieva lit three more times, but the score changed only once. In the first case, the light caught fire accidentally, in the second – the Finns pushed the puck after the whistle referee. But in the third case, a minute before the siren Patrick Laine touched up the puck after a shot Miro Keskitalo by all the rules – 2: 1.
As soon began the second period, the team Jalonen strengthened advantage Alexi Saarela implemented most – 3: 1. Then the Russians waited hardest segment, when almost four minutes in a row, our guys have played four. But the complete domination of the opponent’s wards Bragin not only survived, but even managed to play a puck in the minority: in the 29th minute scored Andrei Svetlakov – 2: 3. And three minutes later Paul Kraskovsky using Finnish rebound restored the balance in the account – 3: 3.
This exploits the Russians have not ended. After 36 minutes in the game against five four finally opened the scoring through captain of our team, Vladislav stone. And less than a minute, Alexander Polunin trampled past memories of the Finnish domination – 5: 3.
In the debut of the third period now, “Suomi” reduced the gap to a minimum: judge five minutes viewed controversial episode, but still goal is scored Saarela – 4: 5. But does the success of the Finns could not. Conversely, six minutes before the final siren Radel Fazleyev who saved our game with the Czechs, put an end to this meeting – 6: 4!
In the other match of our group disgruntled Russians Czechs achieved the first victory in the tournament modestly beating Slovaks – 2: 0. With more soccer score ended meeting Sweden – United States in Group A. In order to win, “Tre Kronor” took one clicks exact Alexander Nyulandera – 1: 0.
