Frolov, Russia advance to semis
Alexander Frolov scored a goal this morning to help Russia to a 4-3 victory over Belarus and a spot in the semifinals of the IIHF World Championships in Switzerland.
Frolov scored a second-period goal to put Russia up 3-2. Belarus tied the game a couple minutes later, but Ilya Kovalchuk scored a third-period goal and the Russians held on.
Russia will play the winner of the USA-Finland quarterfinal, which starts at 11:15 a.m. Pacific time and, apparently, is going to be streamed live at universalsports.com, with Nick Nickson and Daryl Evans doing the commentary.

Anyone have an update on US-FI?
None of the streams available online are working at the moment it seems, no update on score.
DEADCAT...
0-0 after one...the 2nd is about to start...
basically, the u.s. got in penalty trouble taking the only three penalties of the game...
- the fins got off 20 shots to the u.s.'s 7...
- esche played well and saw most all of he shots that came his way...
UPDATE; 1-0 FINLAND...
mikko kapaanen just scored right after the pp expired on a rebound to the left of esche who stopped an initial shot...pavelski was late in the pick-up and mikko was wide open for the top-shelf rebound...
1-0 Finland, 16:45 Second period now.
nick foligno just took another u.s. penalty...fourth pp in a row for the fins...
correction: the fin goal came right before the pp expired...
brown just even things up by drawing a hard boarding penalty...in pain, nut looks like he's o.k...no worries...
Dont get hurt Dustin
2 man PP coming up for US
sully just drew an interference penalty...
the u.s.'s first chance at a full pp...11:16 left in the second...
make that a 2-man...as esche just did a flopparoo on a goalie interference...
great chance for us...!
Thanks for the updates, guys! That's all anybody or any team needs is for someone to get injured at the worlds!
brownie with a pp goal...tied up 1-1...!!!
Dustin Brown ties it at one right before the first penalty expires.
Woo Dustin!
t.j. oshie makes it 2-1 on a 3/4 on 1 breakout started by a jack johnson check in their own zone...great play all-around...!
T.J. Oshie gives the US a 2-1 lead just a couple mins after the Brown goal.

This is always the point were the US gets itself in trouble-ie. Sweden,Swiss, and last year against Finland

the power plays for the u.s. have really change the momentum and the whole game around...excellent play by the u.s. during the last 8 minutes...
another pp for the u.s.
the game started out with 4 straight for the fins...
now 4 straight for us...
the get one back by hyovonen on a rebound to esche's left...
3-2 usa
the u.s had numbers, as it was a 2 on 3, but somehow got a high bouncing rebound which led to the put back...

If any of you have HDTV, the game was available on one of NBC's subchannels. Here in the LA area it was channel 4.4.
US WINS ! ! ! ! ! !!
Nice Job by the US to get this win. Esche made some big saves.
Nick and Daryl were fantastic. Having had the opportunity to listen to other announcers on Satellite Radio, our guy are first rate.
