S45 WJC BRONZE MEDAL: Russia vs. Sweden
#16

...Faceoff coming up in the Swedish zone in front of Eddy Ask, Jr. after that icing call, 7:47 remaining in the first, we haven’t spoken much of Ask much tonight, a good sign for the Swedes. Derisraka wins it to Egor Kucherov, Kucherov winds up, quick strike!

SAVE BY ASK! Ask answers the call on his first true challenge of the night, Russia will try it again after this faceoff.

This time Aleksandr Scherbak against Jesper Johansson at the dot, Scherbak wins it to Oliver Kolzoff. Klozoff spots Mander in front of the net, pass into the slot, Mander with the backhand!

NO! ASK MAKES THE SAVE AGAIN! Still not home free, another faceoff coming.

Closing in on the end of the first period, Sweden carrying a 2-0 lead ... little bit of a scramble in front of the Russian bench here, Evans there scrambling with Olsson and Svensson.  The puck comes out, Olsson has it ... but there’s a whistle ... Evans is down holding his face.  You have to wonder if .. yes, there’s the signal, Svensson will get the gate for slashing here, two minutes, the Swedish fans booing the call.  I have to admit, I didn’t see anything there, but I’m sure the armchair referees back home will be able to see this replay ...


.... Oh my word!  No contact whatsoever.  That acting from Evans could win an Oscar!  The fans now seeing the replay here, letting the officials know exactly what they think of that call, and of Evans!  And understandably so!

The puck is dropped but with just a few scant seconds left in this period, Russia will skate it out, Kucherov tries a long-distance shot but nothing to scare Ask.  Sweden leads 2-0, but they’ll have to kill off the penalty from, frankly, this miscarriage of justice after the absolute dive by Evans to maintain that lead when we come back.

FIRST PERIOD
GOALS: Sweden 2, Russia 0
SHOTS: Sweden 11, Russia 8

We’re back for the second period, Russia trailing Sweden 2-0 but with the man advantage after a complete acting job by first overall pick Nikolai Evans to draw a slashing penalty.

Aleksandr Scherbak wins the faceoff against Kristoffer Mattson, we are underway in the second period.

Anastasia O’Koivu with the puck, she feeds Egor Kucherov. Kucherov carries the puck into the offensive zone, he feeds Mander, Mander winds!

SAVE BY ASK! No rebound, Russia will start again, still well more than a minute left in this man advantage.

Shaquille Derisraka wins the draw, it goes to Vladislav KONSTANTINNNNNN...

ASK WITH ANOTHER SAVE, WHISTLE BLOWS! Ask not only making these key saves, but not giving up rebounds. That would be a killer with some of these physical Russian forwards, just blood in the water.

Derisraka wins the draw again, to Konstantin, Konstantin to Oliver Klozoff ... Klozoff to Evans at the point, it sails wide! Basketball fans might say ball don’t lie after that whiff! Konstantin recovers the puck, skates behind the net, wraparound!

...Now 15 minutes remaining in the second period, Sweden still leads 2-0 after surviving the Russian power play. Fantobens dumps the puck, Klozoff has it here. He passes to Konstantin in the neutral zone, Konstantin turns up-ice ... loses the puck, Skottson has it. Stolp Skottson finds Tobias Viklund, Viklund carries it in, one goal to his credit already. Viklund passes to Pingy Pingu, Pingu shoooots!

...Faceoff here, Borje Wallenberg wins it to Elias Hughes. Hughes looks up, and oh, man! Anastasia O’Koivu crushes Hughes! Nikolai Evans is there to recover the puck, and here’s another whistle ... Wallenberg getting the gate for hooking, the Swedish fans already booing lustily, they recall Evans from the earlier dive that also led to a man advantage.
