Good result for Slovakia, they only need one point to officially qualify correct? They now have 12pts, which is the maximum Sweden can achieve, but then Sweden will have the head-to-head. So one point against either Sweden or Czech Republic they are qualified for sure.
Denmark is all but out now I think. They have one game remaining, Czech Republic and get a maximum of 11 pts. They can not pass Russia or Slovakia. Switzerland has 9 pts, but only has Belarus and Great Britain remaining, they will take at least 2 pts from those games which puts them out of reach (head-to-head). If they take all 3 pts vs Czech Republic, the Czechs will have 8 pts going into the Slovakia game and the Czechs will need 3 pts to pass Denmark. Then they will have to hope that Sweden doesn't take 6pts versus Slovakia and Russia. In short, after this game, the Danes have to be huge Slovakia supporters.
Yes, one point against SWE or CZE could secure the QF for us.
But if Sweden gets less than 3 points against Russia, we can make it even with the current 12 points.
Agree, play the game and get out healthy. I’d still like to see Slafkovsky play with a scoring line and on the second PP unit. I wonder if Nemec stays out again tomorrowIf Czechs wins against Denmark tomorrow and we lose to Sweden, it will be interesting. In game CZE-SVK would draw after 60min be ok for both.
