7-2 Slovakia

 

[Namejs]

Let's just hope they don't murder them

 

[Albatros]

Slovakia has probably seen enough of that for one day. Might even withdraw from the tournament.

 

[Old Man Jags]

6-1 to Slovakia I think.

Game still going forward despite Fico assassination attempt?

Why would it matter to this hockey game in a different country? lol

Because Slovakia is playing. Not like it's not unprecedented for a game to be postponed or cancelled due to a national tragedy.

Knowing absolutely nothing else about the situation aside from this;

I don't think the players are going to be too shaken up haha

 

[vlady]

Cehlarik is really snake bitten

 

[awegrzyn]

Fast

 

[Fight4yourRight]

Yikes. Horrific giveaway in the offensive zone by that Polish player leads to a grade A scoring chance. They will need to minimize these brutal plays if they want to keep the score respectable.

 

[awegrzyn]

Stop stick handling.

 

[vlady]

What a pass by Nemec. Tatar finishes it off

Yea he didn't die....yet

 

[RKBoy]

those dreadful PPs jesus.. but this is occurring thing across all levels from U18s to Seniors.. whoever is in charge of them needs to be fired, its criminal to have so many creative players and create next to nothing in them.

 

[vlady]

Poland defending very well. I can't fault our effort.

That was a really dumb penalty by Regenda

 

[vlady]

Regenda again

 

[aonb]

Regenda should be benched for the entire 3rd period for being this dumb, really

Poland should also just refuse to play in PP, we have better chance to score a goal during 5 on 5, its just waste of 2 minutes

 

[tmlmatus]

This sounds like a very frustrating game to watch a Slovak fan, glad I skipped it.

 

[Antiillafire]

I would put the lines in the blender at least for the third period.

Is Poland hopeless for the upcoming future? I know they aren't a hockey powerhouse and haven't produced a ton of players, but I don't follow international hockey close enough to know.

Complicated question with a complicated and long answer.

In short, hopeless? No. In trouble? Yes.

Ice hockey is not even in the top 10 most popular sports in Poland, it gets no love, no funding, very little media attention.

Totally hopeless. Same stories I heard in the 80s as a child. Nothing ever changed. Black hole.
Since then I moved to USA and took my son through a hockey program. He played AAA and after he "retired" his team finally was second in the country. I have seen what it takes to build "hockey". Poland will never ever know what it even means, not to mention do it. But the solution is super simple, I can write it in 5 points.

This game is so bad
