Will GB do it again ?

 

Austria who beat the Czechs for the first time ever are 20 minutes from relegation and the Brits who literally saved their asses in the last 10 minutes of the tournament in 2019 miraculously returning from 0-3 to 3-3 against France and winning in the overtime and send the French to Division I.

 

Now GB is again after losing all previous games somehow miraculously 20 minutes from another miracle on ice

I feel like I wasted the afternoon...

 

even worse...it's like I wasted 2 full weeks...

 

maybe it's even like I wasted another year of my life...

 

probably I just wasted my whole life!    

 

I'd better watch breakdance and padel next time...
