    I think under 4,5 is better here, though Russia are prob. coming off heavily after the Slovak-incident since they got shut down pretty good offensively. Vokoun is solid and the Czechs did well against the Slovaks but it doesn't take much for Ovie and Ilja to score, and I think they are very well motivated to-day. Very tough to call the under/over here, clearly under is better but I think it's prob. right around the magic fivey. Even harder is pointing out the winner. A draw? Russia 2,3,4 - Czech 2,3,4? No bet, perhaps.

    it's quite though for sure, I think I'm actually going to take overs here after all... 5,6 or 7 goals... let it be 6 or 7

    It's going to be a clase game. Too close to call for me to bet but if I had to I'd take Czech + the points

    caribsports versus bookmaker for russia-czech

    Carib has czeck +1.5 -140 with total of 5.0 (over was -115)
    Bookmaker has Russia -1.0 (-105) with total of 5.5

    I took Russia -1 and offset czech +1.5 and than took over 5 and offset with <5.5

    If the line doesn't hit I lose a few $ on the juice but hoping to "hit" the line on either one.

    Good luck.

    I'll probably play the Russians, I think Bykov will have his team 100% focused and they will bounce back after their defeat against Slovakia.
    The Czech are good but I think russia will prevail in this important game.

    That means you need russia to win in regulation time. That is win by 2-1 3-2 or alike.

    -0,5 in hockey means the team you choose with the -0,5 handicap have to win in the 60 minutes. If the game goes to overtime you already know your -0,5 bet is lost.
    As Jaug said, your team needs to win in regulation time.
    Good game and good win for Russia, now it's Canada's turn to bounce back! Can't wait for USA-Canada
