[Belizarius]

Crucial game.
Loser is nearly relegated.

 

[Urbanskog]

Crucial game.
Loser is nearly relegated.

If it's decided in regulation, the loser will be relegated.

The stakes are definitely high in this one.

 

[Belizarius]

Pavlovich with a good shot high, 1-0 Belarus.

 

[Heia Norge]

Jeglic scores, how is this guy still in the tournament? Should be banned for at least a year IMO.

 

[Belizarius]

And Slovenia tied it, Jeglic on the PP put the rebound home, he was just skating from the bench !

 

[BalticWarrior]

Go slovenia!

 

[Belizarius]

What a shot by Rodman !
Poor defensive coverage, the 2 d-men are on Golicic who doesn't have the puck and are screening Lalande...

 

[kary]

Go Slovenia, time to get that BLR antihockey finally relegated ... Last year it didn't work out, so hopefully now it will.

Belarus hasnt showed anything this year so the result is not surprising.

Unfurtunatelly 2:2 now ... BLR didn't show anything last year either, and also as far as i know they didn't produce any decent player in last 10 years.

 

[Urbanskog]

Time for Uncle Alex to pour some more money on the hockey program.

 

[Hinterland]

Go Slovenia, time to get that BLR antihockey finally relegated ... Last year it didn't work out, so hopefully now it will.

Watching this game I have to say that they're far better than Slovenia. They also played well against France despite being down Denisov, Graborenko and A.Kostitsyn, three of their best players. Should have beaten the French. They also have great young players. Not sure Slovenia equals them.

I like Kogalev in particular. Somehow he hardly plays though. Surely deserves more icetime.

 

[Hinterland]

Just missed it...but did Jeglic just injure Khenkel? This guy shouldn't even be playing at this point. Completely crazy.

 

[Belizarius]

Sharangovich is quite good.


But overall, Slovenia looks better, though they pass too many shots.

What great young players? I have no idea about Kogalev since i didn't even notice that guy... AS for this match BLR is not playing better and certainly didnt have more quality chances, they were only better the first few minutes of the 2nd period.

 

[Belizarius]

No, Khenkel blocked a slap shot from the blue line right in the wrong place.

EDIT : and Belarus scored on a rare offensive shift.

They have many:


Lisovets, Graborenko, Vorobei and Khenkel on defense
Kogalev and Sharangovich up front

 

[Dima_BLR]

Speaking of young hockey talents, Belarus currently has its U18 and U20 teams playing in top division. What about Slovenia?

 

[Belizarius]

4-2 Belarus with a deflection, and PP to come.
Sergei K hit the post.

 

[Belizarius]

And make it 5-2 on the PP.

 

[kary]

I'm not arguing Slovenia has better players, they don't, even if they stay in the elite this year they are likely to get relegated in future years anyway... However I very much dislike how BLR is playing last two years and being relegated might trigger some changes in their game (its the opposite of slovenia, if they get relegated they would probably return soon - simply because hockey is very popular in BLR, much more than in other countries outside of top 6...)

 

[BalticWarrior]

4-2 Belarus with a deflection, and PP to come.
Sergei K hit the post.

Too bad Slovenia has been good up to this point.

 

[kary]

Yea, Slovenia got destroyed in the 2nd and they deserved it - their D performed terribly, its like they forgot how to play during the break...

 

[Pan]

Go slovenia!

5-2. Tough day for you today. Latvia lost, Belarus is winning. What upsets you more?
