We enter into the break 2-1 in favor of the Russians with the shots 16-3 in favor of the Czechs. Not their best period of hockey, but they still enter the break on a high, knowing they are 40 minutes from a medal. The Czechs on the other hand have to feel like if they can keep up this pressure over the next 40 minutes, they will for sure get at least one more and be able to keep the Russians … in Czech!

We will return after a short intermission of about 3-5 minutes.
