I understand that many people are more used to saying Belarusians, but actually, the correct term is Belarusians.
Could you elaborate on that? As far as I know, "a" cannot be a connecting vowel... and they are written with a lowercase letter...

We, along with Luchik, did all of this. When the score was 4-4, we were so invested that losing was impossible.
Well, thank you very much to you and Luchik =) And also, I think, to millions of other fans, including me and everyone who is posting here =)

P.S. In principle, this is off-topic, but why isn't Happy in the national team, and what about Yashin?
Regarding Happy: "Unfortunately, these players (Kulemin, Artyukhin, Happy, and Kuteykin) failed to make the roster for the World Championship because other players look stronger and, at this stage, better meet the team's tactical concept and playing scheme," said a statement from the coaching staff of the Russian national team.

And regarding Yashin, he was unable to participate in the national team's training camp in Novogorsk for personal reasons, and the coaches, as they could not try him in various combinations, decided not to take the risk and completely exclude him... Personally, I think that's a mistake... I think he would fit in anywhere...

Yeremenko out for the rest of the championship

Russian national team goalkeeper Alexander Yeremenko will no longer be able to play in the World Championship in Canada.
The examination confirmed that the injury he sustained in the match against the Czech Republic (5:4 OT) was serious, and he will not be able to return to action in the coming weeks. Thus, after the injuries of Semyon Varlamov and Alexander Yeremenko, only one goalkeeper, Mikhail Biryukov, remains in the Russian national team, according to the official website of the World Championship.

- this is a real disaster... =(((

This is a matter of language. In Russian, it's written as "belorussy," and in Belarusian, it's "belarusy." Forcing those who write in Russian to write "belarusy" is like forcing people to write the word "Chinese" using hieroglyphs.

Regarding the topic. Our team did well, of course. But the game while playing with fewer players showed that this aspect needs to be worked on. There's still time before the playoffs, and I think the coaches will take this into account.
And another thing. For the second consecutive World Championship, our NHL superstars are surprising me. Ovechkin, Kovalchuk... two of the best snipers in the NHL, but they can't score for the national team. What's the problem? Are they being forced to play in an unfamiliar style? We expect miracles from them every year, but the leaders of the national team are players from the Russian championship. Morozov is great!
The Czechs don't have this problem; if Elias is an NHL superstar, he's also a leader on the national team. And if you remember what Gretzky, Lemieux, Yzerman, Messier, and Sakic did at the World Championships in their time, it becomes even more confusing.
By the way, Dallas won against San Jose. We're waiting for Nabokov.

By the way, Dallas won against San Jose. Let's wait for Nabokov.

This "by the way" is relevant to everyone – it's "by the way" (I hope I didn't confuse anyone)! In general, it's like some kind of spell. In the last Championship, Zinoviev's top line (the one that scores a lot) was literally broken down piece by piece with injuries (and there's an opinion that it was done deliberately).
I hope that everything will proceed in a more productive and calmer manner from now on.

Nabokov won't make it to the match against Denmark... And since the roster requires two goalkeepers, and we only have one left, there's a chance that the injured Yeremenko will be listed as the second goalkeeper...

Where do you get the statistics for missed shots? I watched the match against Italy and couldn't believe that Afinogenov managed to get four assists. I checked the IIHF website, and only one assist was recorded there.

Canadian goalkeeper took part in the Russian national team training

Today, during the Russian national team training, the net was guarded by 21-year-old Canadian goalkeeper Kevin Defoss, who plays for the Quebec Remparts club of the Quebec Junior League. Recall that earlier, due to injuries, the team lost Alexander Yeremenko, who injured his knee in a match against the Czech national team, and Semyon Varlamov, who suffered an injury during training.
Finding a Canadian goalkeeper for today's training was helped by Russian national team forward Alexander Radulov, who previously played for the Quebec Remparts, reports Sportbox.

Afinogenov will replace Zaripov in the match against Denmark

In the last match of the group stage against the Danish national team, there will be a change in the fourth line: Buffalo forward Maxim Afinogenov will play instead of Ak Bars forward Denis Zaripov, according to the official website of the Russian Hockey Federation.
Thus, Afinogenov will play together with Alexander Radulov and Alexei Tereshchenko.

Nabokov, Markov and Tyutin will perform at the World Championship!

Three more representatives of NHL clubs – goalkeeper Evgeny Nabokov ("San Jose"), defenders Andrei Markov ("Montreal") and Fedor Tyutin ("Rangers") – will play for the Russian national team at the World Championship! Nabokov will arrive in Quebec on May 8, Tyutin – today, and Markov has already arrived at the team.

Last night, after the end of the playoff series match, in which San Jose lost in the fourth overtime to Dallas and ended the season, Nabokov himself called the President of the Russian Hockey Federation, Vladislav Tretyak, who had previously communicated with the goalkeeper several times, and once again confirmed his participation in the World Championship. Then, the head of the Russian Hockey Federation and the goalkeeper, after consulting with the coaching staff of the national team, decided that Evgeny would arrive on Thursday, and he was immediately issued an air ticket on the San Jose – Quebec route.

Nabokov, Markov and Tyutin, in accordance with the regulations of the world championship, will be included in the application before the start of the qualifying round.

Thus, those currently in the team, but not included in the application for the preliminary stage, Kazan Ak Bars defender Evgeny Medvedev and Moscow Dynamo forward Fedor Fedorov will not be able to perform at this World Championship. Because with Markov and Tyutin, there are already 22 field players, that is, a full set.

As for the goalkeeping line, Nabokov will take the remaining, third vacancy. Today, goalkeeper Sergei Zvyagin, who lives with his family in Detroit, joined the team. He has twice – in 2005 and 2006 – performed at world championships. This season, Zvyagin played for Dynamo and Nizhny Novgorod Torpedo. Sergei was invited to optimally conduct the training process, as for now, only one healthy goalkeeper remains at the disposal of the national team coaches…

Depending on the rehabilitation process of Alexander Yeremenko, the possibility of adding Zvyagin to the roster is not ruled out. The regulations of the World Championship provide for such an option in case of injury to one of the three declared goalkeepers during the tournament.

Where do you get the statistics for goals scored? I watched the match against Italy and immediately didn't believe that Afinogenov managed to record four assists. I went to the IIHF website, and only one is listed there.

Thank you for pointing out this inaccuracy... it has been corrected...
In this particular case, the information was taken from the official website FHR, from the website sports.ru and from the website of the magazine "Russian Hockey"
If it's not difficult, I would ask everyone to also report any inconsistencies noticed in the future... because I might miss something, given the number of sources I have to work with...

A man, in Russian, the correct way to write it now is "беларус," not "белорус."

Perhaps you introduced this rule into the Russian language, but in Russia, the old rule still applies, which states that a connecting vowel cannot be the letter "a."
Quote from the Encyclopedia "Peoples and Religions of the World":

Belarusians -
...Belarusians, беларусы (self-designation), a people, the main population of Belarus (7,904.6 thousand people). They also live in Russia (1,206.2 thousand people), Lithuania (63.2 thousand people), Latvia (119.7 thousand people)....

I hope I don't need to explain what "self-designation" means? Or maybe some native Englishman will jump in here and demand that we not call representatives of his people Englishmen, but Englishmen? By the way, how are your compatriots called in Albion? Do they demand to be called "Belarusians" there too?

I think it's pretty clear in these pairings – France and Slovenia will move up to the first league. Although, maybe Slovakia hasn't had its last word yet? :D

I don't watch hockey as often as I used to, since the days of the USSR. And during yesterday's Canada vs. Norway match, a question arose. When the Canadians scored their second goal, the attacking player was in the blue zone in front of the goal. As far as I remember, the rules prohibit this, or has something changed?

As for the Norwegians, they played well, but they should have capitalized on the situation that arose towards the middle of the 3rd period, when they played with a power play for 6 minutes straight, including 1.5 minutes with a 5-on-3 advantage.

By the way, what do your compatriots call themselves in Albion? Do they demand to be called "Belarusians" there too?

In fact, in Albion (in America, the European Union), we are called Belarusians. I saw opposition literature printed in the European Union, and there we were called Belarusians. And I'm not sure that you haven't made changes in connection with the change in the country's name. For example (although not entirely accurate): we have a tennis player named Azarenko. Previously, her surname was written that way (i.e., Azarenko), and now in Russian (I saw it on the "Russia" channel), they write Azarenka (because in Belarusian it is written as Azaranka). So, you haven't convinced me.
Our team lost again. To be honest, I thought that our team (Belarusians) had reached an agreement with your team (Russians). Russia practically doesn't need the points.
