As you may already know Russian ice-hockey team lost to Slovakia by shootout after 1:1 in three periods and overtime. Alexander Ovechkin says that Slovak defense played very well and didn't leave a chance for Russians.
For the first time in these Olympic Games the new system is used for 12 teams. Although teams are divided into three groups there's an overall tournament table where USA is the first, Russia is the second, Finland and Czechs are 3rd and 4th at the moment. Four first team are automatically advance to the next stage. So to safely move to the final round Russians will need to beat Czechs in their next match. But even if they lose to Czechs, Russians will still have a chance to play for the gold.
