Well well, the moment of truth for team Belarus. Honestly, this team deserves to be relegated as it doesn't seem to belong in elite. A painful change of generations when former 3-4 liners have to lead the team and fail due to lack of skills and talent. Combined with poor coaching, this may result in sinking to Div1.

 

[BalticWarrior]

Lets see if Austria can relegate Belarus to DIV IA. Ill say 3:2 Austria with the upset.

 

[Retroglyphs]

With both teams' performances from yesterday in mind.... Belarus 4 - Austria 3 in a dramatic match.

But I'd be very unhappy for the great Austrian fans here in CPH, if this really happens.

 

[Pan]

Belarus will win but Austria will score first.

 

[Marky1999]

Lets go Austria!! This is it.

Would love to watch this game .. but yeah, I cannot. Stupid to geoblock everything for a country when nobody shows it.

Actually Teleclub shows all games; hence the geoblock.

 

[jonas2244]

Ah, I didn't know that.

Ah, I didn't know that.

Awful commentators though (seems like the guy doing Sweden-Slovakia today was actively trying to mispronounce every single name), I'd prefer having them on youtube.

 

[Belizarius]

After 20
Austria 1-0 Belarus
Tough goal with a bad rebound on a defenseman.
Belarus had some chances, but their lack of speed and positionning on the PP is haunting them.

 

[BalticWarrior]

Goddamn, Austria is the most boring "dump and chase" team i have ever seen.

 

[Jakk123]

Go Austria! It would be a shame not to have you at the WC next year, as the host country is your neighbor .

 

[malkinfan]

One thing Belarus does well... Is get progressively worse on the PP

 

[Jakk123]

2:0

 

[FinPanda]

Belarus going down?

 

[kabidjan18]

Goddamn, Austria is the most boring "dump and chase" team i have ever seen.

Playing any other style would require puck-possession capabilities.

Hey it seems to be working for you guys so cant complain.

 

[Jakk123]

Wow 3:0 Keep it up.

 

[BalticWarrior]

Holy hell. Goodnight Belarus!

 

[jonas2244]

3-0, I hope that settles it.

 

[malkinfan]

Forget about a come back, how about just a goal, that would be nice. To put how bad the offense has been, SK now has the same amount of goals as Belarus in the tournament. This is worse case scenario, I dont know how you come back from this.

 

[Urbanskog]

4:0 already. Austria breaks the elevator curse.

 

[BalticWarrior]

Austria making Belarus their bitch right now.
