I'm definitely cheering for Sweden. They belong back in the big group. Czech ladies should win but we'll see. They are a strong group for sure as they've won the last 2 Pool B's at the World's. Ironic that they are the 6th best nation in both mens and womens... must be the federation goal. We're number 6!! We're Number 6!!!!

Czechs definitely outplaying Norway but not finishing and a 1 goal game. Need to build a cushion or Norway will score on a counter

 

[Czechboy]

Czechs got up 3-1... Then Norway celebrated a goal that never went in... Inches from 3-2.

1-0 Sweden through 2 periods. I only watched first but slovaks are outmatched. Still good progress for Slovak women’s team, hopefully in future they can make the WC. That is next step

Final score. Sweden 3-0 Slovakia.

Slovakia was pretty good. Especially in first period. Swedes was better but it seems like Slovakian women have taken some steps forward.

The other games:

Hungary - Poland 11-1.

Germany - Austria 0-3. What happend? This is a suprise.

Denmark - Italy 4-0

France - Korea 4-0

 

[Czechboy]

10-0 Czechs over Poland after 2 periods.

I'm assuming we win this and go 2-0. Watching Czech Finland at Karlaja instead.

The Füssen group has become rather interesting with the Danish win against Austria today. Out of the teams in the group, only Italy remains outside the competition for the Olympic spot. For both Denmark and Austria it would be their first ever appearance in the women's Olympic tournament.

 

[Czechboy]

Not a fan of the 4 third period goals... still, 2 and 0 and one step closer!

sweden - korea 15-0

sweden - korea 15-0

Pfft.. we got 16 today!

Congratulation to the Danish team for the Olympic qualification. Considering that there is only 215 female hockey players age 18-40 in Denmark, makes it even more impressing.

 

[Urbanskog]

France seems to have a habit of losing by just one goal to Sweden.

I love this format... I wish the WJHC would take it on as well. Put the big 5 in one pool and you have an amazing game every night of the tournament. The B pool would be Czechs, Germans, Slovaks, Swiss and one more nation. Mostly all close games and no blowouts.
