    Thank you for following with us. We still have Norway vs. Switzerland in live coverage, it's the second period currently and the Swiss are up 2:0. Until next time, goodbye! (21:31:27)
     
    Branko Radivojevic is proclaimed the best player of team Slovakia, while on the other side Ilya Kovalchuk is the best individual of team Russia.
     
    Sbornaya komanda wins after two consecutive losses, completely deserved as they were the better team today. The lone goal for Slovakia came on Russian mistake when Radivojevic scored on a breakaway shorthanded.
     
    60:00
    Game over.
     
    59:20
    Vladimir Mihalik gets the puck in.
     
    59:00
    Last minute of the third period, and probably the whole game.
     
    58:02
    Russia is complete, and Slovakia made no shots during the powerplay, Russian penalty kill is awesome.
     
    57:02
    A minute gone by on the Slovak powerplay, still shotless.
     
    56:02
    Seems like Ilya Kovalchuk is called for high sticking on Michal Sersen trying to skate past him. He apologized immediately and went to the penalty box.
     
    55:19
    Radivojevic tries to clear the puck, Yevgeni Medvedev intercepts on the blue line.
     
    55:02
    Icing Russia, Yevgeni Biryukov shot the puck too hard.
     
    54:53
    Branko Radivojevic shoots, it's blocked.
     
    54:34
    Icing Russia.
     
    54:28
    Michal Sersen dumps the puck, Russia in possession again.
     
    53:31
    Anton Belov is behind the net waiting for his team mates to get set up.
     
    53:14
    The game continues after a short break.
     
    Shots are even at 5 this period, 23 overall.
     
    53:14
    Libor Hudacek tries to shoot from near the crease, Ilya Bryzgalov covers the puck.

    Commercial break.
     
    52:31
    Alex Perezhogin dumps the puck in the air, Janus can't hold it and Perezhogin is the first on the deflected puck but hits the post on practically an empty net. Incredible!
     
    51:54
    Russia keeps possesion in the Slovak zone, Alexander Perezhogin shoots from the slot, Janus able to deflect.
