It's incredible how any setback can make Belarus crumble down. They were in close games against France, Switzerland and now Austria, and in all three games a single goal was enough to destroy them.

And Austria is on its way to be the first promoted team that manages to stay in the top pool since France in 2008.

The difference in this game was PP execution. They went 0-3, with really no substantial PP chances, followed by our PP going 3-3.

This Belarus team just lacks top-end talent of any kind. Who is supposed to score goals on this team? See you in D1A next year, Belarus.
 
Interestingly, we will be co-hosting the 2021 WCH with Belarus. What happens if they fail to promote twice? Will they just get auto-promoted?

Probably.
Back in 2000, Germany was in that situation, but they managed that year to win the division (so no autopromotion). I suppose there will be 1 auto-promotion and 1 on the ice.

Good luck to Belarus against such powerhouses as Lithuania next year. Maybe you'll fare better against amateurs.
 
Happy that I was wrong in the end! :naughty: A deserved win, AND .... Austria's fans with fantastic support for their team as always! :thumbu:
