Farewell with great tourney and last career game for Ladislav Nagy. It will be sad match.

SVK win 3:1

 

[ThaiTanicDK]

Hopefully Denmark puts together a decent game. Its been a pretty awful tournament for us honestly, but I think with a win its an okay'ish result.

 

[slovakiasnextone]

Slovak players probably with more motivation wanting to please the home crowd and to give Laco Nagy a good send off to end his career.

 

[mirec04]

I hope we will win this for L. Nagy. It is really sad to see that last Mohican from Slovak gold generation ends his career so early in the tournament.
He would deserve 2 farewells, one in his hometown Kosice and second one in Bratislava..

 

[Bagge]

Hopefully Denmark puts together a decent game. Its been a pretty awful tournament for us honestly, but I think with a win its an okay'ish result.

We have done pretty much what could be expected with this team. When we are missing a handful of our best players we are not competitive against Slovakia and Germany. Our depth is not good enough, at least not yet.

 

[Sofaw]

(Especially for Danes): In the team Denmark roster thread I've asked a few questions for evaluation on team Denmark and Ehlers. Could be great if anyone would like to join the debate.

with a win the tournament will be a little succes for Denmark - with opt outs taken in consideration.

Team Slovakia 3 - Team Denmark 1

[slovakiasnextone]

Too bad, it's the afternoon game today, I will have to miss out

 

[QuietContrarian]

Have little faith in this Danish team.

Goalies have been awful.

Plus Slovaks will be super motivated. 6-1 SVK.

 

[slovakiasnextone]

Nagy with the C today.

 

[ThaiTanicDK]

We should have won against France. That game was only won in OT because Dahm is an awful goalie.

You seemed pretty competetive vs Germany and I also doubt this game is going to be a clear win for Slovakia.

TSN guys Miller and Ferraro mentioned an interesting bit.
If Slovakia wins today and Norway losses to Latvia they will jump to 9th in the ranking for next Olympics. First 9 countries in the ranking get to play in the Olympics tournament by default, 3 spots in the further qualification. China has not been granted the automatic spot as a host country yet. The case for China to be given the automatic spot at the end of the championship is going to be plead by Jagr.

Pavol Demitra ! ... #legend

BS. China received green light for an automatic entry into the Beijing 2022 ice hockey tournaments - IIHF - China set for Olympic ice hockey

 

[Ivo]

It was nice to hear the Demitra chant in minute 38. Hopefully the hometown fans give Nagy a proper sendoff into retirement.

Why would they need Jagr to lobby for them than?

 

[member 305909]

Slovakia have been very unlucky. Two last moment defeats but that's how it goes. Better luck next time. Perhaps history will repeat itself. Last time Slovakia hosted they also failed in front of their home-crowd but the following year they were in the final.

It's not BS. At first, they were granted a spot, but they are really weak, so it's probably going to be decided at IIHF Congress in a couple of days.

 

[elMatador]

Can't think of a more useless Slovak player this tournament than Dano.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Godla....I wonder if he played from the start....would they have a playoff spot? Means nothing now but for a small goaltender he is exceptional.
