Yeah, it's going to be something =)
+ this year, the arenas are narrower, and there's speed, lots of shots, and dynamics in general =)
But our team showed they could hold their own against the Canadians, it's a shame it wasn't broadcast... There's still a lot to come =)

As for the captain, I'm finding conflicting information... I actually saw somewhere that it was Schastny, but it seems to me that it was Morozov... I need to do some more research online =)
(although they're going to cut off my internet access any minute now - I didn't pay on time... but it's not a big deal, I'll take care of it first thing tomorrow)))

P.S. Yes, I apologize... it was indeed Schastny... here, I found my post from another forum, where I covered the previous championship:

That's it, we're screwed... our team lost =(((
Which isn't surprising, considering that three of our key players were injured - Morozov
(the tournament's top scorer), Schastny (the team captain), and Markov (a key player in power play situations), and as a result, all the established lines fell apart... it's a mess... Well, maybe we'll still take bronze if we beat the Swedes...

We beat the Swedes 3-1 - bronze is ours =) And in general, we won all our matches at the championship except for one, where we just didn't have any luck, and the Finns did... So we'll still take first place with this team and with this coach =)

I've corrected the previous post... thanks for the correction =)
