The Bears have lost four back-to-back games, but we can't say they played bad hockey or that they didn't fight or try hard enough. They have returned from a series of away games, managed to take a point from a game in which they were down 0-2 after five minutes, and it is definitely time to win today. Spartak don't have anything to offer, as it was said in the preview, they have been playing badly from the start of the season and they won only five points, they concede over three goals per game, which makes them the worst in the West division in that aspect. We can't say that Medvescak are better than a lot of teams from the West in quality and commitment, but we can say that for Spartak and that is why the odds have their value. With all that, the atmosphere in their team is bad, coach threatened to put in younger players, he is not happy with anything, and that especially goes for foreign players who lack 'desire'. Except for the lucky win at Kahabrovsk where they were supposed to concede several goals, Spartak didn't show anything and the home team are in a position they have to utilize, and they are well aware of that, because fifth consecutive defeat wouldn't be very comfortable. The away team are changing time zones, they still haven't played outside Russia this season and all these factors are in favor of the home team. There isn't a single segment I can put against this bet, Jurcina and Taylor are back in the team, while the visitors will be playing without four of their players, and add that to the fact that they have been playing very bad hockey this season.
