I would be surprised if Bowns doesn't play in a better league very soon.
Great to see that Ben Davies recovered from the earlier mental error on the breakaway with the game winning goal in OT to get the Brits to stay in the main group and send France to relegation. Congratulations GB, I look forward to seeing your team play with the big boys in next year's WHC in Switzerland.

brake on French hockey developpment program
I remember explaining here why it was the year of all dangers for France...Unfortunately I was right even if the relegation game was so close
We are a better team than GB no brainer but too inexperimented and lacking energy at the end of the game (playing two games in less than 24h is not really fair thanks to the iihf schedule)

Just so thrilled, it's hard to put into words. Watching the boys celebrate like they'd won the Stanley Cup should tell anyone just how much it means.
SO PROUD!

Every team gets to play some consecutive games in their schedule, it's like that on every tournament. Teams have to be ready for that.

The B.B.C finally getting on board when they get a victory of this magnitude.
How awfully nice of them.
The team deserved this kind of support from the beginning not just band wagon stuff.
What did Fleury actually do on this overtime-goal? This is a mistake which shouldn't happen to an experienced player like him.
Up to this point, from what I've seen and just looking at the scorelines, this has been a pretty dire tournament that needs some competitive games and "fun" surprises to salvage it. Good on Great Britain, and good for the tournament, for providing something that was desperately needed.
Over the years France has managed to become relatively competitive at this level, has pulled off some pretty big upsets, and has done so by producing their own players and not naturalizing a bunch of Canadians, so it's somewhat unfortunate to see them go down.

Its not that unbelievable. UK played pretty decently in this tourney all things considered. Now, if you guys fudge the game up against Italy, however - that would be surprise.
