Yeah, I didn't see the other group games until I visited the official site: IIHF - Home 2019 IIHF ICE HOCKEY U18 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

Russia up 4-2 and Belarus up 3-2.

 

[tobu]

Both games pretty close, I think both Russias will win eventually.

legal streams?

 

[tobu]

This years Belarus team is strong. I know Slovakia lost to them twice this year pretty convincingly.

Don't dare to call Belarus "another Russia". You would get spanked on any Belarusian board for that. That's insulting of the nation. That's like calling Croatia "another Serbia" or calling Ukraine "another Russia".

Well they're certainly kicking the shit out of us!

 

[su24]

He's giving Czech all they can handle at the moment. Made Haš look like a schlemiel on Belarus' third goal.

Haš was so embarrassed that he took 2 penalties in a row and basically alllowed Belarus to score their 4th goal.
I honestly believe that with Protas and Alistrov our team could contend for a medal. Screw the WHL.

My apologies, it just sounds natural in my language, one is Russia and the other White Russia, with just an adjective in front. I apologize though, wasn't ill-meant and won't say it again.

 

[Wooren]

Their PP is, the 5v5 play was much better this period.
That being said, Czechs are still playing like crap. Can't wait for Hadamczik's excuses after this debacle. He deserves it though, ignoring Pytlik and not playing Mysak, what a tool.

I hate Hadamczak. He's probably the only thing I hate in all of Czech hockey. I'm a diehard fan but anytime this man gets behind a bench I want to blow things up.

He was still in charge of the senior team when we had about 50 players in NHL and a lot of very good D and 3 goalies going... he'd cut them and put in Stepanek instead of the NHL goalie. His entire strategy is to always turn a talented team into a lunchpale group while running with 'his chosen players' (which are usually related to him). He has an amazing ability of turning Gold teams into Bronze teams and then gets told how great he is because he got a medal.

In this case, this is a bronze team maybe that he'll turn into a quarterfinal against the US and a 6-1 blowout in quarters and done.

No Prikryl, bening Mysak - not even close to shocking. And I have nothing against Marcel Barinka... I hope he does get drafted. It's Alois I can't stand.

I understand that you are not familiar with the situation. People in Belarus are very sensitive about those semantics recently. Belarus and Russia are different countries, but Russia is trying to annex us like they did it with Crimea. Anyway, sorry if I was too rud.

No worries, glad to have learned something. I wish you a long-term independence!

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Russia leads 5-2 over the Slovaks (RUS Podkolzin 0+0, SVK Cajkovic 1+1)
Belarus leads 4-2 over the Czechs

 

[jvr32]

Cajkovic knows how to score in this tournament

 

[tobu]

Well even though Slovakia messed up with some give aways on powerplays, they still have scored 3 goals on them. Cajkovic has a killer shot.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Cajkovic with his 2nd.

Really don't want to get into politics (you can answer me on PM), but didn't Lukashenko said that he is willing to unite with Russia ?

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Czech's scored 3rd goal, 3-4 the score now.

 

[Czechboy]

4-3... Another goal from point. 3 goals by our D... Although it says koffer is a forward? Double duty?

Even 2 goals from our D is a rarity in Czech hockey lately. Something positive

Defense has been horrible all game long, goals are nice, but hardly make up for it.
I see Czechs are contending for the worst PP of the tournament again this year.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Russia gets 6th, still no Podkolzin goals,points thou

I noticed that too.. 5-3.. nothing. 5-4.. nothing. Pull the goalie.. nothing.

Also, they kept falling.. is this a U18 thing?

Russia-Slovakia, final score 6-3
