Close game coming up… I’ll predict 4-2 USA

 

[Hockeyville USA]

5-3 States. Should be a big game for Gauthier and Snuggerud.

 

[stastny12]

5-3 Slovakia. This team defeated the United States last year and Slovaks are now even more experienced, so I see no reason why it couldn´t be repeated. Hopefully, Zlnka and Ciernik are back in the lineup. I´d love to see duo Pekarcik-Dvorsky, as well.

 

[Leaf Fans]

I am looking forward to this game! 1.5 hours away.

 

[MTU34]

No Snuggerud for the US

 

[Statsy]

No Snuggerud for the US

Whoa, what happened?

 

[vlady]

Ciernik and Natny out for Slovakia

Also Gajan being rested, he is not even in the lineup.

Yikes, that really hurts Slovakia's chances

Slovakia knows this is a battle for first, right?

 

[MTU34]

Whoa, what happened?

I’m guessing he’s sick

 

[tobu]

Natny has some virus, so something might be in the air.

Not valid anymore. Without Gajan, we´re screwed I believe... Natny and Ciernik are also huge losse. If there is some virus, we got super unlucky... jeeez

 

[vlady]

Slovakia used to the early starts by now. Might be a small advantage

 

[Jukurit]

So winner of this game probably gets Latvia and loser Finland in quarter-finals. Probably.

 

[tobu]

Gajan would have moved to the other post in time.

 

[vlady]

tie game!

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Hutson got worked over on that shift.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Why the hell didn't Hutson change there? He had multiple chances. Very selfish.

 

[tobu]

Nice goal, good stick handling.

 

[Tryblot]

Should be no goal.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

I am going to guess that won't be a goal.

Looks like Hayes got pushed / tripped into the net.

Not sure what the rules are, to me the players tripped over each other, hard to tell who instigated the contact between the two.

He tripped himself. Nobody from Slovakia tripped him.
