Legendary Soviet player and former head coach of the Russian hockey team Alexandr Yakushev gives his predictions for the second round of the Olympic hockey tournament.
Belorus vs. Sweden 1:5
I have no doubts that Sweden will set for this match like for the meeting against Russia or Canada, since didn’t forget their defeat to Belorus at the Games-2002 quarterfinal. I expect an overwhelming victory of Swedish side.
Czech Republic vs. Latvia 4:1
Having beat Slovakiv, Yagr and company proved hockey world one more time that it’s early to ignore them in the gold medal race. As for Latvia, they showed worthy hockey in the second period of the match against Russia, however Jaromir Jagr team’s class will be crucial today.
Finland vs. Germany 3:1
Finland is traditionally one of the most rational teams of the tournament. They are dangerous on power play and in episodes when they have space for their attacks. They will easily beat Germany.
