The Russian hockey team is starting to look a lot more like the Olympic favorite everyone expected it to be. "Just first game we play good first five minutes, today we play all 60, so that was the difference." The Russians will next play the United States on Saturday in a game likely to determine who finishes at the top of the Group B standings. The United States is always the United States, so it's going to be tough," former Buffalo Sabres forward Mikhail Grigorenko said. The Russians scored four times in 12 minutes during the second period on goals by Alexander Barabanov, Ilya Kablukov, Kaprizov and Kovalchuk.
