Damn bullies.
Terry scores. USA in the semi-finals.
Barbell saved there.
Polunin comes out to throw - and past.
Troy Terry responds with a goal!!
Guryanov scores beautifully!!!!!
Whims past. We continue the series.
Bracco compares.
Vorobyov scores!
Troy Terry COMPARES!!!
Denis Alekseev doesn't score.
Joey Anderson - by !!
Alexander Polunin misses.
Clayton Keller - MIMOOOOO!!!
1:0 in shootouts for now!
Guryanov scores!!!!!!
Colin White - PAST!!!!
I hate shootouts - this is not hockey, but another story, and they should not be in the playoffs, but this is youth hockey. It is believed that 19-year-old guys will not withstand endless overtime.
Overtime is over!
18 seconds left in overtime.
McAvoy walked very dangerously to the gates of Samsonov and slipped right in front of them, phew.
Throw-in in the zone of the Russians, and we win it.
Russia is now taking time out, well, it is, to rest.
As I understand it, then - shootouts. Well, if no one scores in a minute.
Team USA takes a timeout with less than two minutes left to play.
Samsonov takes a very unpleasant throw - he stood, they threw him on horseback, he had to beat off with his shoulder.
So, things have calmed down a bit now. Urakov wanted to play skate-stick-skate in a foreign zone, made a counterattack, and the Americans dragged it out for another half a minute.
We had to play the whole game with four.
Sergachev perfectly threw from an uncomfortable hand exactly at Parsons' house, Kaprizov was on the rebound, but the American goalkeeper blocked the throw with a stick.
Overtime is the coolest of the whole match, of course, although the match is fire.
Samsonov just made a career for himself now - already lying at the gate he reflects two surest throws, the second turning over and not looking.
And now just the save of the year!!!!!!!!!!
The bar saves the Russians.
Samsonov lost sight of the puck - he thought it was somewhere under him, and meanwhile the puck was already outside the gate.
And now Kaprizov is a little mistaken from the right moment - he stayed on the rebound, waited for the puck, hit him from the turn, but she stood on edge.
Polunin, just beauty - he was left alone on the right flank in the US zone, withstood a dramatic pause, but a shot at the goalkeeper.
An amazing attack - Trenin first takes the puck from an opponent in his zone in a Datsyukian way, then a pass to Urakov, and he flies into the goal, but not the puck.
Sergachev simply saves the goal - substitutes a stick at a time when Samsonov does not have time to close the entire goal area.
And the Americans settled on Samsonov's gate, two shots on the pads, everything is still reliable.
And Vorobyov immediately gets a chance, breaks through with two defenders of the Americans on his shoulders, and smears with an uncomfortable hand.
Let's start playing!
Unlike the group stage, overtime is 4v4, not 3v3, and 10 minutes, not five.
Overtime!
Well, now the judges and we do not whistle removal.
Kaprizov, just like a tank, went through the entire opponent’s zone, he was dropped outside the goal, and it seems that in violation of the rules, he got up, kept the puck, but still they didn’t let him throw normally.
Well, everything, even American hockey players are discarded.
The Americans play a little more actively, but in general everything is very much simplified and calmed down.
Guryanov is 19 years old, drafted 12th overall by the Dallas, and now plays in the farm.
In general, of course, there are no questions about the best player in the Russians now.
Guryanov! again one went to the gate, they cut him down, flies into the gate and hits the post.
Five minutes before the end of the period, 3:3.
A sharp throw from the blue line at the goal of our goalkeeper, and Samsonov takes it very calmly.
Samsonov trapped the puck, which was thrown on horseback from the middle of the site.
The commercial break is over, let's continue. The United States is on the attack again, and again dangerous - Terry came out from behind the gate and threw terribly straight.
That's Guryanova's goal
Ahhh Guryanov is on the right post right in front of an empty corner and misses the puck, and the transfer was excellent.
The first link of the Russians is trying with all their might to score at the first pace, but in fact it never happened like that in the match.
We play on equal footing.
Oh, what a dangerous throw Samsonov takes - Thompson passes the transfer, he from the left circle immediately wets. And once again - and again Samsonov reflects.
For a minute of the majority, there is only one normal attack by the Americans, which pleases.
Failure - the Russians have six players on the ice, what a stupid mistake. Removal from the Russian team exactly when it is not necessary at all.
AAAA it was incredible. Guryanov took away the puck by force, at a wild speed he ran into someone else's zone alone, and beat the goalkeeper !!!
Denis Guryanov saves the day!!!
And nothing changes in the game, although the Americans did not score a bullet, they dug in tightly in our zone and do not stop throwing.
Samsonov super calmly takes the throw!!
The American Keller, after the attack of the Russians, ran off alone into a counterattack, our defender had to stop him with his hands, and the referee appointed a free throw.
Oh what's going on! Bullitt!!
Kvartalnov and Guryanov keep the puck in the opponent's zone for a long time, they do everything right, but without throws.
The Russians have a rather strange attack - two or three shots at Parsons' goal at once, but all from the most uncomfortable positions.
Now it was very unpleasant, Alekseev gave the puck to the opponent right on someone else's blue line and almost brought a two-on-one counterattack - but still managed to work it out and closed the throw line.
The majority ended, and we took the puck out of our zone with wild labor. An attempt at a positional attack - and immediately a counterattack from the Americans, just as senseless.
Samsonov beats the puck, it jumps right on the empty ice in front of the empty net, and there, fortunately, none of the rivals at all.
It was only in the second minute of the majority that the Americans entered the zone.
Let me remind you that the Russians are in the minority - and so far they are stubbornly preventing the Americans from entering their zone and leaving.
Now let's go!
Oh, false start, we haven't gone yet.
Let's go. Need to score!
Late in the evening, you can also complain about abstract topics - by the will of fate I am online on a new macbook pro, and this is absolute horror, not a computer.
It is necessary to move away less and not to yawn in defense, the goalkeeper of the Russian team is good, but not a wall.
Surprisingly, they seemed to play well, but the score was generally not classy. I personally did not like how Samsonov missed the rebound in the last puck. By the way, here she is.
Break!
Removal at the end of the period, Pavel Karnaukhov for the bandwagon, there was a bandwagon, a fact.
Guryanov on the left ran to the gate, passed to Kvartalnov right on the spot, and he hesitated there.
And the US does not stop attacking at the end of the period, but without throwing.
Here is the second goal of the Americans
The Russian national team for the first time in this match loses during the meeting.
They couldn't get the puck out of their zone, Colin White shoots, the puck ricochets off the ice - and Samsonov can't cope.
Goal, USA lead
Guryanov (already in equal compositions) threw outright, Parsons on the spot again.
Polunin was finally taken to the throw, a dangerous position, but by.
Something very many passes.
A minute in the majority is still to play, the Russians are in deep attack.
Roslovich almost missed the puck outside the Russian goal at Rykov.
Prospect "Montreal" Sergachev from the blue line tests Parsons for strength, there is no traffic in front of the goalkeeper, and problems with the shot too.
Removal from the USA, Charlie McAvoy for the delay.
Jack Roslovich perfectly now went solo to the gates of Samsonov - he managed to organize an attack for himself, juggling the puck.
And in refutation of my words - a magnificent positional attack of the Russians, at the end of which Parsons is somewhere a couple of meters from the gate.
The Russians got hooked somehow.
Guryanov threw from a distance with the expectation of a rebound, and there was someone to finish off, only Parsons beats in the other direction.
At speed, the Americans simply tore apart the four Russians, Luke Kanin, the captain of the US team, turned out to be a little behind Samsonov and simply forwarded a successful pass into an empty net. Failure!
And the third is not reflected. 2:2, the Americans implement the removal.
And the Russians reflect the second attack.
And immediately the Russians throw the puck away, and Urakov even ran to the gates of others and put pressure on them.
And again, Russia is in the minority! Training for hitting the hands.
Karnaukhov went behind the gates of Parsons, coming out from the other side, looking for a pass for Kvartalnov, but the puck came off the hook. Okay, but it's beautiful.
Everything, the game is resumed, Parsons remained in the frame.
And there was such an attack - they went into the zone, the Russians fiddled for a very long time, as a result, Kaprizov threw at point-blank range, the puck bounced off to Polunin, and he simply did not have time to figure it out and hit the empty goal. And then he crashed into Parsons by inertia.
Everything seems to be fine with the goalkeeper of the US team, but the doctor checks if he has symptoms of a concussion.
After one of them, Tyler Parsons, the goalkeeper of the Americans, falls on the ice and does not rise - Polunin drove into him after a throw. This is not a violation, but it is wildly unpleasant - Parsons only a minute later rises with difficulty.
The Russian team is already half a minute in a foreign zone, and immediately several dangerous moments!
They show a repeat of Samsonov, of course he just saved the team, and more than once, during this majority.
Phew, get out! It was very, very dangerous.
AAAA Samsonov beats back in the air after finishing! The Americans are simply destroying this majority.
Dangerous throw Keller from under the defender, but past the gate.
Just a dump on Samsonov's patch after a series of American attacks.
The puck after vbrvasyvaniya in our zone reaches Samsonov, he does not sleep.
The Russian team is in the minority - Yurtakin pushes the opponent on board for no reason at all.
Guryanova's goal.
In general, now some other team is playing in T-shirts of the Russian national team, at least at the beginning of the period.
And again Guryanov, just his match today! It is in the right place right in front of the Parsons goal and almost reaches the transfer, designed to correct. But only almost.
And one more dangerous shot from the Russians, from the corner, counting on finishing, but Parsons takes it quite easily.
A defender's long-range shot, Parsons parries - exactly on the hook to Guryanov, and he flashes through the empty net. 2:1!!
And in the end, Guryanov himself scores!!!!
Guryanov on Kvartalnov gives a dangerous pass ...
And already from the second face-off, the Russians are in a normal attack, holding the puck - but only at the boards.
First faceoff
Time passes, years change, and during the ice hockey break on Russian TV, they still show ads for potency drugs.
And from a different angle
And here is the Gifan goal against our gates
Andrei Nikolishin on Match-TV correctly notes that all the chances that we had (and there were not very many of them) were interceptions, playing on other people's mistakes, and not positional attacks.
The goal of the Americans was rewritten for Clayton Keller, there was such a leapfrog that you can’t make out. But in general, what's the difference.
This is how Kaprizov scored
And break, rest!
Oh. The goal is completely empty. A harmless attack at the end of the period, nothing special. The shot is also more likely to be checked by Samsonov, and not with the goal of scoring - and the puck foolishly flies between our goalkeeper and the post after rebounds.
1:1!!!
With problems, but the Russians are fixed in the US zone - Polunin fought for the puck somewhere for half a minute, but no attacks, no moments. The Americans are on the attack again.
The Americans are entering our zone just five of us already. And now they almost paid the price - Kuryanov caught the lost puck, but already in front of the US zone he got entangled in the legs and in the defender of the rivals.
Samsonov is saving now - one of the Americans bypassed all the defenses during a positional attack and could catch our goalkeeper on the counter move, Samsonov by some miracle saw what was happening.
Well, the game does not change much, only the Russians began to spend more time in a foreign zone.
Just fantastic - Kaprizov plays for ten seconds against three opponents in the corner, passes, then gets the puck outside the goal - and, coming out from behind them, he simply puts it into the net !!
Kirill Kaprizov scores!!! 1:0!!!
Kuryanov now first went to take the puck in a foreign zone, it didn’t work out - well, he just crashed into an opponent.
Trenin took the puck in someone else's zone, found a partner with a pass, he was in a good position, but the throw was unsuccessful. Okay, but in defense everything is in order so far.
They showed a replay of the moment with Terry, where the Americans turned out such a beautiful pass, it’s good that Samsonov understood what was happening.
And in return, the counterattack of the Russians, Urakov was preparing to throw for a long time, but in the end he was closed both the review and the path for the puck.
Ooooh Samsonov in place! It seems like an ordinary counterattack, but Troy Terry appeared out of nowhere in front of the goal and tried to throw the shield of the Russian goalkeeper.
The sign in front of the online says that the match has not started - do not believe your eyes, the sign has not yet departed from the celebration of the New Year.
And again Denis Kuryanov!! One passes half the court and brings to the throw, but the American goalkeeper cannot yet.
An opponent was dropped in our zone - as for me, there was a trip, but the referee let it play.
And right dangerous moment, Denis Kuryanov, it seems, took away the puck in a foreign zone and decided to throw it from an acute angle.
And here again a viscous game at the boards in the zone of the Russians. The USA seems to be on the attack, but there are no throws either.
So far, the Russian team is not noticeable at all - well, it is clear that the strategy today is to play from defense.
Samsonov's puck turns out to be on the patch, the defense throws it out.
The Americans have a protracted and ineffective attack, they hardly throw, but they put a lot of pressure in the Russian zone.
And the first dangerous shot from the Russians, Kirill Urakov suddenly finds himself alone in front of the American goalkeeper and tries to shoot into the top corner.
And catch Ilya Samsonov the first puck! There wasn’t really a shot there - the puck, after a pass from the flank during a high-speed attack by the Americans, lazily crawled to the spot.
The United States immediately takes the initiative into their own hands, but cannot leave the zone for half a minute.
The match has begun!
Another informative page: Sergey Sergachev, number 26, was drafted by Montreal, and, of course, every resident of the most hockey city in the world knows about this.
Teams on Ice! Russia in the traditional red uniform, that's how we have it in the online picture.
According to Match-TV, they recall the legendary fight between the teams of the USSR and Canada at the youth championship in 1987, and there it is discussed that Canada is a "hostile foreign force." Oh.
Informative page: the best goalkeeper of the tournament according to statistics is the second goalkeeper of the Americans named Wall, but he only played three games. Today, the United States has the starting goaltender - Tyler Parsons.
Turned on "Match-TV" for the first time in my life. There is some kind of pre-match show, but rather boring. The match is coming soon!
The winner of this match will advance to the final and will play with the winner of the Canada-Sweden pair. We have already met the Canadians at their home tournament and lost 3:5. And the Swedes were in another group.
And this is how the Danes won. Kaprizov's first puck there is just a sniper's one.
Here we are warming up
The best in the national team are captain Kirill Kaprizov, who is sure to have a great future (and probably in the NHL), and goalkeeper Ilya Samsonov, who did not miss a single goal in the quarterfinals with the Danes.
Hello! Here we have the first hockey online of the year - and a good reason for it, the semi-final of the youth world championship. As for me, youth hockey is often more interesting than adult hockey, all these guys have a draft ahead and contracts with adult teams, they have a lot of emotions, and they have something to prove. Here is the composition of the Russians:
