    WJC is starting today.

    Russia vs. Slovakia in 10 minutes. Too bad I'm at work.

    Russia up 1-0 after one. Grigorenko to Kucherov on what should have been an offside call.

    Slovakia ties it with seconds to go. OT.

    What a joke. So much talent on this roster and they are playing like ****.

    Russia wins with seconds left in OT.

    But they should ashamed by this result.

    Unfortunately, I don't see the same dedication and chemistry from this year's team that was in '10 and '11 squads.

    Slovakia played tight cohesive hockey but the Russians looked like they wanted to dangle the entire Slovak team to impress the crowd.

    Shalunov suspended one game for his crosscheck on a Slovakian player.

    Russia-USA on the 'morrow.

    Russia-USA in about 30 minutes.

    Again, I can't watch it because of work.

    Russia up 1-0 on an early power play goal. US has had two chances that were more "how did they not score" than anything. Makarov has been good.

    Russia takes it 2-1.

    Second goal was apparently a great individual effort from Nichushkin. I want to see a replay.

    My standards for great are a bit higher. He took it to the net and burned his dman but lost the puck and got a good bounce.

    Russia smoked Germany 7-0 to set up a showdown against Canada for the division.

    I've always wondered why Hockey has never developed in Germany. Seems like a great place for the game to grow and thrive.

    History. Bohemia (now part of the Czech Republic) was one of the founding members of the IIHF. Interestingly, Bohemia was then under the Hapsburg ruled Austria-Hungary.

    U.S. like always doesn't have luck on their side. They were the better team against Russia and Canada but lose both games 1-2.

    Russia-Canada next. :)

    The US lacks offensive skill.

    One issue has been a lack of financial stability for DEL clubs, which has lead to a lack of investment in youth development.

    Canada dominates Russia in a 4-1 victory.

    Canadians were the MUCH more organized team. This Russian team has a ton of talent but it's way too reliant on individual play, especially Yakupov.

    Russia to play Switzerland in the QF. If I'm not mistaken Russia can't meet USA or Canada unless it's the final?
