As a referee, I would only ever call it if the goalie really took the piss, and covered it when the other team literally wasn't forechecking or something, and ignored me when I shouted to play it

But regardless, what the Lithuania player did was a blatant penalty, and should have been called. Not that it would have made a difference mind you, GB still wouldn't have scored on the PP.

i actually didnt see the situation, just speaking as a goalie myself:p

if i was a referee and a goalie did that just to annoy people i'd give him a 2 min for delay of game in a heartbeat, or unsportsmanlike conduct

It happened in a Toronto vs. Montreal NHL game on Hockey Night in Canada

Puck was coming down the ice and Jonathan bernier skated out to play it, jumped on it rather than shooting it because the Montreal player was so close, got 2 minutes for delay of game. That highlight made the rounds.

Through 3 games, 4 of 6 'starting' goalies in the D1B group have a GAA under 1.40

This has been a very low scoring tournament unless you play Romania/Netherlands lol

 

[bishonen91]

or GB

 

[Urbanskog]

Surprisingly little talk here considering that Croatia is playing.

 

[SoundAndFury]

Poland running the show, no surprises.

 

[Siamese Dream]

Poland showing how much of a difference a bit of preparation and investment can make.

On paper they don't look strong, nearly all of them play in Polish league which is a lot weaker than EIHL.

 

[SoundAndFury]

I think Tomljenovic will be able to squeeze out a very nice contract for himself out of this championship.

That's true. And they look like that every year, that's why I was so surprised when GB lost their first game that bad. That was really unseen before in this level.

Good coach, too. I think team can achieve so much more by playing this east-west game of Poland than the uninspired grinding one GB plays.

i hope so he really needs a team to develope. he has shown a huge deal for a 20year old kid from a non hockey coutnry.

 

[Urbanskog]

And Croatia makes it 2-1

 

[SoundAndFury]

Talking about goalies, Odrobny has improved so much in the last year or two, he's like a different player. Don't know who's responsible for that but somebody has done a great job turning him into a decent goalie.

 

[SoundAndFury]

Poland wasting all kinds of chances, not even forcing Tomljenovic to make a save.

 

[Namejs]

His stats have been terrible though in the Slovakian/Austrian junior leagues.

 

[bobbeaver]

Thing about the Croatian NT they didnt have to much time for training and had no prep games. So how things are turning out in general is incredible.
2:1 is an active score which is more i could have hoped for in the beginning realistically.
If we do win some medal here that might be nudge to finaly make a team for the INL league from cro league players to play a real professional league cause they have shown some skills and have show room to grow especially tactically. Atleast i really hope so. its not to expensive.

 

[bobbeaver]

well i dn he seams to have grown. this is a higher lvl than juniors lol. I dn maybe he has sprouted? lol

 

[SoundAndFury]

If that was intentional MacAuley with and extremely dirty move.. And that was not even a penalty Wouldn't be surprised if it's the same ref as in GB - Lithuania game yesterday

 

[SoundAndFury]

Two hooks missed in one sequence.. The reffing is getting embarrassing.

 

[bobbeaver]

hmmm very equal game vs Poland. Cro is makeing better chances now.

 

[SoundAndFury]

So correct me if I'm wrong, Poland will be playing in the D1A next year. Frankly, it's quite surprising how long did it take them to get there.

 

[Temid]

Yup, Poland gets promoted, Romania and Netherlands will fight to stay out of relegation on last day (unless smth unexpected happens today).

 

[Siamese Dream]

GB have taken an early 2-0 lead

 

[3 Minute Minor]
