Today 16.15 Global time Finland and Russia is gonna clash together.
Finland got fresh blood to their line-up getting Jani Lajunen to the line-up instead of Janne Lahti who was number one goal scorer in Finnish SM-liiga but haven't done none points in this tournament so far.
Russia got Ovie, we'll see what he can do against Finland, against Czech Republic he didn't do anything special, pretty lazy game from him.
The most interesting thing is Russias "police" Yevgeni Arthyukin. This 198cm and 114kg colossus doesn't not fear to give big hits to the enemy players, sometimes clean, sometimes dirty. When he loses his nerves and gets mad, something bad happens.
Good side for Finland is that Artyukhin takes stupid penalties and this is one way to the win.
Arthyukin stated to the Finnish media that he is going to play same as he played against Czech Republic, hard hits. He managed to get two players injured (Not really injured, Michalek continued playing after that hit from Arthyuikin which was penalized and checked Rachunek and his head started to bleed because the helmet flew off and he hitted his head to the ice.)
Some plays by Arthyukin from yesterdays Czech game, Slovenia game and EHT match against Finland:

Physical game rocks, but there has to be some respect.
Too bad that other teams haven't thought about that kinda police-player on their LU since the IIHC-games have been clean and good sportsmanship so far, I guess that is going to change next year.
Many countries just doesn't have that kind of polices which can play on this size of tournament. Right now I really don't get anyone to my head from Finland to that role, maybe Karalahti? But I think he would last to the place two against Arthyukin.
And yeah, that Michalek-one was something you need to get your ass kicked, take two players at the time if needed.
Ovechkin, yeah. He recently came back from the NA after losing playoffs. Maybe he was just tired yesterday, we'll see if he gets something done today.
And to be honest he just sometimes gets crazy and does not so sportmanship moves.
great player and a clone of him would fit in my Finland team anytime.
