Working material experiment
The Swedish stage of the Eurotour ended with the victory of the owners of the ice match - the opening of the Swedish stage of the European Chockery interrupted the winning series of the national team Vyacheslav Bykov, which lasted 22 matches. In many ways, the Russians themselves contributed to this, in the game against the Swedes, they scored 46 minutes of a fine. Three of the four goals of Trekhnur were abandoned, playing in the majority. The owners of the tournament opened the account already in the second minute of the game: Andersson corrected the puck after the Ragnarson throw. The judge counted the goal after a short viewer viewer.Further - more. Not only did the Russians up to about the fifth minute of the game did not manage to apply a single throw on the goal of Holmquist, so they also missed the second. This happened in the seventh minute of the first period, when the four-minute penalty spied by Afanasenkov (the player was removed for the game with a highly raised club, and he received two minutes over the fact that the Swede went through the collision). The Russian team was able to use the next removal (already as part of the Swedes) in the last seconds of the majority. Suglobov “distinguished”, and Holmquist helped him, who launched the puck under a trap.
And then the removal became a nightmare only to our team. Almost immediately after the response goal, the Russians completely filled the penalty bench. Consistently retired (in about two minutes) Vishnevsky, Nepryaev and Emelin. The three of them, having beaten off the five, the Russians enjoyed equality for only a minute - another removal, this time Korneeva. And immediately after him he received Badyukov for two minutes, and Junsson reacted to this with an effective distant throw. Of the first 20 minutes, the Russian team spent in the minority.
The second period was already much calmer: only six minutes of a fine. And even managed to win a 20-minute. At the end of the period, the forward of the Moscow Spartak, the debutant of the Russian national team Maxim Rybin, distinguished himself. Rybin burst into the zone, traveled around the gate, left the defender and, having received a verified pass from the happy, again reduced the difference to a minimum. For Spartak, this was the first official game for the national team. Looking ahead, let's say that later the fish and defender of the Yaroslavl Lokomotiv and the Sweden national team Yukhan Okerman were recognized as the best players in the match.
Seven minutes remained until the end of the second period, which were remembered only by a fight, launched by hockey players under the siren for a break.
The final third of the team was held in a similar way. The Swedes returned the difference in two goals (again in the majority), after a minute one and a half minutes Saprykin returned the match to the intrigue, and six minutes before the final siren, the Russians received a fantastic opportunity to at least translate the game into overtime: the Finnish referees removed two Swedes at once. But in the game five by three team Bykov could not offer anything good. We can say that the Russians played the five -and -half and half a half, since one of the Swedish players almost immediately lost the club.
Difficulties create to overcome
The second match in the framework of the Swedish games nearly repeated the “successes” of the first, but in the end ended in a completely unexpected way. This time there were Finns in rivals. In the first period, the audience did not see their heads, but in the second 20-minute opponents more than compensated for the lack of washers. In eight minutes, the Finns managed to upset Alexander Eremenko four times. Again, not without the participation of Russians. The first washer of the Finns was abandoned in the majority. The second “yawned” Eremenko. The third puck of the Finns was presented by the defender of the national team and Ak Barsin, and our hockey players abandoned our fourth. 0: 4 in the second period - in theory verdict. He added optimism to his colleagues Rybin, who abandoned the first puck of Russians in the game three minutes before the break.
The third period passed in a completely unexpected way. Namely, the Russian team managed to equalize the score. This is not to say that the Bykov team began to play better. It is impossible, however, to blame the Finns of negligence. Rather, we are talking about great luck or materialization of efforts. After all, if you tell a person for a long time that he was a donkey, sooner or later he will go to the store behind the saddle. There is something similar. There was no mutual understanding between the players in the first and second periods, and did not appear in the third. But the game on the emotions, which the hooked Finns just did not have enough, suddenly gave fruits.
In overtime, the winner could not be identified, and everything was decided in a series of post -match shootouts. The first glasses of the Russian team at this stage of Eurotour brought an accurate bullet performed by Alexei Mikhnov. Maxim Rybin again became the best player in the match. Rybin was very happy for the second consecutive, but does not see his prospect in the national team. In an interview, the striker spoke out in the spirit that he had no hopes for the World Cup. There is logic in this. The head coach of the national team Vyacheslav Bykov, of course, does not cease to say that he does not like the definition of “experimental” regarding the composition of the national team for this stage in Eurotour. But this team cannot wash itself from such a stigma. Talks about the “nearest reserve” are also not very convincing.
Despite all the significance of the Eurotour, the players called up for the tournament remain working material, the benefits of which can be obtained and necessary, but the coaching staff needs to be decided. But this desire is still not very visible. However, the World Cup will answer all questions.
With Czechs - without tricks
The third, final match of the Swedish games against the Czech national team, the Russians have already held without such tricks. All the same Rybin opened the score, and in the third minute of the match. Four minutes later, the happy doubled the advantage, breaking the coprzhiva in the majority. Nevertheless, the Czechs managed to align the game, throwing two goals in 30 seconds in the middle of the first period. These catch -ups continued in the second period, when Saprykin again brought the Russian team forward, and the Brbat again equalized the score. Then only the current winners of the Eurotour scored. Perezhogin, again Saprykin and Mikhnov brought the score to a large one.
This is not to say that the Czechs surrendered without a fight. This team simply needs a normal coach. Actually, in all matches of Eurotour (all the Czechs lost them), Czech hockey players showed themselves on the not worst side, stably scoring and stably failing the last period. So it was in the game against the Swedes and most obvious in the match with Finland. The meeting with Russia was no exception. Czechs looked completely unarmed at the very end of the game, having a numerical advantage and having no options for its implementation.
