U18 WC Preparation Match
Game 2
Slovakia U17 – Hungary U18: 5-3
Jozsef Pleszkan started in net for the Hungarians and played the entire game. Shots were even at 30 apiece. Hari, Gallo, and Meretei led the Hungarians with 4 shots each. Special teams were the difference today. The Slovaks converted 3 of their seven power play opportunities, whereas the Hungarians only managed 1 goal with the man advantage.
Today’s result is a little discouraging. I think with the addition of the Nemes line, expectations were much higher.
The Hungarian team will be travelling to Poland on Friday and will play its first game on Sunday against Lithuania.
I wouldn´t worry too m uch about it. If your guys are anything like our players, the worse the preparations are the better the tourney finishes.
Btw Poland for example played two games against Poprad´s U20 team losing 2-7 and 6-7.
Looking at your opponents, Germany is way too strong, probably stronger than Belarus last year. But with the other teams, I don´t see why you couldn´t challenge for the 2nd place in the group.
Hajrá Magyarok!! I hope I got that one right.
