but it is tied at 2-2. We need to do better job of finishing those opportunities.Japan is being outshot 7-26 at the moment by Korea.. Holy guacamole.
Well in the 2nd shots were 17-13 Japan so I guess that ship has sailed.but it is tied at 2-2. We need to do better job of finishing those opportunities.
You are probably not going to like this but you guys are overachieving pretty hard as is I would take losing concentration in the 2nd over just being bad period. Which, considering there don't seem to be some new shining stars on the roster, was expected. A better question would be where the improvement compared to the regular performance comes from.We seem to struggle and lose concentration during the 2nd period in this edition of the tournament.
We've got to play 60 minutes of consistency.
To be fair, as mentioned before, Japan survived the first period only down by 1 and from that point on, probably the better team won.Korea outshoot Japan 46-31 and lose 4-3.
From what I've seen, if that's any consolation, you guys will crush Romania. As you do every year, to be fair.Now we are fighting for avoiding relegation. Hats off to Japan's resilience. Even when they struggle to get pass their own defensive zone, they still held on to it. Our winning streak over our neighbor finally comes to end in such disappointing way.
What an irony! I remember seeing a lot of fans from Transylvania cheering for Hungary at WCH IA 2018 held in Budapest. As the Romanian team is carried by ethnic Hungarians it must have been this time a difficult decision which team to support.Embarrassing for Hungary to lose to their own B team.
Melbourne Ice legendAlso if Korea does indeed go down, somewhat fitting it happens the first year Matt Dalton isn't in goal anymore.
Toke being the Romanian hero is also some kind of next level irony.
Insane.. HonestlyWow, clearly the strongest showing by Romania at the 1A level ever. 1 win 2 previous 1A championships combined. The same roster in all 3 as well other than the usual injuries/declines/etc.
I will be a party pooper and say it was due. There is no Belarus and Russia which by default allow them more cracks at 1A opposition, and they have slowly but surely adding more naturalized players in their roster that make the difference when it is needed.Insane.. Honestly
