Bernard told me he's getting the start in net for Italy.

Bernard told me he's getting the start in net for Italy.

There are more chances that Italy wins the game then Bernard starts in the net.

 

[Gianpaolo]

Nicola Fontanive has got an injury, that's the reason because he did not play against Czech Republic and Canada. Is Joachim Ramoser suspended?

 

[Exarz]

Interesting game! I doubt that Italy will win, but they should have a small chance.

 

[Jakk123]

If we lose this, I will bury myself uder the ground.

 

[obv]

I read that half of the Slovakian team has been sick already before the Sweden game, does anyone know more about this?

 

[Systemfel]

Is Joachim Ramoser suspended?

Yeah, he got one game.

A few players missed the Sweden game due to fever, some other players didn't feel well either. Including Laco apparently who was benched for this reason last night.

However the whol team is healthy for today's game per Vujtek and co. Too bad as it probably won't be enough to make the QF anyway.

Bellissimo is starting again per the official lineup.

 

[slovakiasnextone]

Good effort so far but we need to get more goals from so many shots.

 

[peto10]

Holy Laco!

 

[Kamzik]

3-1 at the end of two. Some unreal saves by Laco. Miklik now leads the championships in assists. A win and Slovakia is assured to avoid relegation. Their fate is no longer in their hands however, France moves on if they take full points from Denmark.

 

[Kamzik]

Uhuhuhuh, Italy pulls their goalie trailing 4-1 with a minute left on a 5 on 3 powerplay, giving them a 3 man advantage.)

4 man after one of our players broke their stick And Laco saves the day, twice. I really wanna see a gif of Italy's coach to that, haha.
