Live hockey news from Israel

 

The third day of the tournament. Pyrrhic victory, and hockey impressionism. 

On that day, according to the schedule were planned two games adult teams. Israel - Russia and Canada - France. The result was fairly predictable. Israel was obliged to outplay age Russian team, while Canadians are clear favorites tournament should not beat experience difficulty playing against the French. 

But predictions are one thing, and hockey - another. 
In the match against the Russian coaches decided poberech first goalkeeper and put the gate Aviu Sorotskogo, the second was Stas Nikolaev. The game started relatively quietly at low speeds. The Israelis did not hurry, long playing the washer and attempting to hammer «clean» goal. Team Russia took advantage of the freedom of action and organized a pair of sharp counter. One of them ended «Canadian» passageway along the edge of the entrance to the zone and accurate shots to the far corner. We need to recognize that even this beginning is not awakened the Israeli national team. She continued to play slowly. And only through the numerical advantage gained by the end of the first period, they were able to equal the score. The second period did not bring any changes in the game. Only Israel's attacks have become a little sharper. But this was enough to score 3 goals. In the third period, played a Russian goal, and satisfied with the result left the area. Despite the leisurely game injured list in the Israeli national team has grown to seven people. Projections of whether to take these players participated in matches so far not encouraging, but the final verdict of doctors.

In the second game of Canadians have begun to frolic, at high speeds. From the first minutes it was obvious that they are serious and are not inclined to underestimate the enemy. Despite the excellent play of goalkeeper French, by the middle of the game was 5:1. The French responded counterattack, sometimes even severe. Advantageous to use each time to throw, pull together and selflessly went to dobivanie. But do not забивали. By the middle of the match was to appear that another goal and the French «posypyatsya», the more so as they play at the tournament total of two-five. Perhaps, and Canadians believe in it and a slightly reduced pace and pressure. The French immediately took advantage of the situation. They have to invent what is unimaginable improvisations, violating all laws of tactics, but given that they play in a pink form, it occurs at the site could be called hockey impressionism. Canadians are even a bit lost and missed two goals. 

However, during the break, then the players came to, whether she gave everyone a pair of dark glasses that twinkle pink French do not confuse them with somebody. But in the third period, it became clear: «The best improvisation - is pre-prepared improvisation». Canadians stubbornly and persistently gnuli his line and brought the match to the finish.
