Kahun SO goal lifts the hosts

Germany comes back from 0-2 deficit

ARX13248_Channel%20Homepage%20Slider.jpg

 

After finding themselves down two goals, Germany draws even with two goals inside of a half a minute to take the game to overtime and then a shootout win.

 

It was the third out of four games that Slovakia has extended past regulation time. Their 4-3 loss to Denmark in their last game came in a shootout. Germany was hoping to get back on the winning side of the ledger after losing 6-3 to Russia on Monday. 

 

"It wasn't easy from the start and Slovakia got off to a good start and we had to fight our way back." Moritz Muller said. "I think we had a very strong second period and put a lot of pressure on them. For sure we deserved the two points in the end."

 

Things were made more difficult for Germany as they were missing two of their most potent offensive weapons in forwards Tobias Rieder and Patrick Hager.

 

Rieder is out with a foot injury sustained in their game against Russia. Hager is suspended two games for slew footing Russian forward Sergei Mozyakin. He will not be eligible to play again until Saturday.

 

Tonight's game was played before another capacity crowd at LANXESS arena.

 

At 9:23 Slovakia’s Tomas Matousek scored when a puck was chipped in front of the net and he whacked it mid-air sending it past Thomas Greiss. After video review, the goal stood and Slovakia was officially on the board. Tomas Zigo and Eduard Sedivy picked up assists for their first tournament points. 

 

German head coach Marco Sturm took Greiss out of the game and replaced him with Danny Aus den Birken. For Aus den Birken this was only his third game played going back to the 2014 tournament.

 

Slovakia almost scored again when Marcel Hascak found himself along in front of the net with plenty of room between the goaltender and the post. Hascak rang a shot off the left post. The Slovakia forward went back to the bench and threw down his stick, frustrated that he missed the opportunity.

 

Slovakia extended their lead when Libor Hudacek scored at 1:58 of the second period off a wide angle shot that went between Aus den Birken’s pads, between his legs, and into the net.

 

Germany enjoyed a good flurry six minutes into the period with Brooks Macek and Patrick Reimer getting quality chances. Reimer redirected a puck on net that Julius Hudacek muscled away with a one-handed clear using his goalie stick.

 

Then Gerrit Fauser took a pass that sent him in on the attack with Matthias Plachta on his wing as they bore down on the Slovak net. Fauser’s pass to Plachta was at a tough angle and he was not able to work out a high percentage shot.

 

When Andrej Stastny was called for high sticking, Germany set up well. They moved the puck and created pressure down low. And then finally a goal. The crowd erupts. Germany cut the lead in half as Reimer came through on the power play. His slapshot beat Hudacek on the glove side at 16:11.

 

Perhaps a bit shell shocked, Slovakia gave up another goal :27 later as Yasin Ehliz sent a backhander through Hudacek’s legs. In less than a minute, Germany was back in the game.

 

Whereas Slovakia mounted a major comeback last night, they were on the receiving end tonight.

 

"Yesterday was the same kind of game and we tried to play how we did in the third period against Denmark." Lukas Cingel said. "We wanted to play simple hockey and wait for our chance. But unfortunately we gave up those goals and that hurt us."

 

Third period chances on both sides were turned away to send the game into an overtime. The best chance came as Andrej Kurdna found Cingel streaking towards the net for a shot in the last seconds of the overtime. Aus den Birken held his ground and the game even.

 

In the shootout, both goaltenders were strong. Dominik Kahun, Germany's first shooter, scored the only goal. Slovakia's final shooter Michel Miklik missed wide.

 

Germany now has two wins and five points in the tournament while Slovakia has dropped its third straight game.

Finns down Slovenia

Aho gets third-period winner, Slovenes struggle

ZA6_8777_Channel%20Homepage%20Slider.jpg

 

It wasn't smooth sailing for the Finns, but they finally managed to beat Slovenia 5-2 on Wednesday. Sebastian Aho scored the winner with 10:30 remaining.

 

It was a much-needed victory for a Finnish team full of youngsters and journeymen, which has come under fire after falling 5-1 to host France and squandering a 3-0 lead to lose 4-3 in overtime to the Czech Republic.

"I think we played pretty well," said assistant captain Valtteri Filppula. "We struggled to score goals. There were a lot of chances. We could have had a few more. But at the same time, they defended well and their goalie played really well. It’s never easy. It’s just a really important win."

 

Aho, Veli-Matti Savinainen, and Mikko Rantanen all chipped in a goal and an assist for Finland, and Markus Hannikainen and Tommi Sallinen added singles.

 

Harri Sateri made a winning World Championship debut in net, as the Finns outshot Slovenia 49-14. The 27-year-old Vityaz Podolsk goalie, a former San Jose Sharks prospect, previously represented Finland in IIHF competition at the 2008 and 2009 World Juniors.

"He looked really calm," said Filppula. "Sometimes it’s tough when you don’t play for a little while and then have to jump in. But he handled himself really well and made some key saves."

Anze Kuralt and Rok Ticar replied for the Slovenians.

 

"Today we had a good start, which we didn’t have in the last game," said Slovenian assistant captain Jan Urbas. "We just played as a team, as we do best. It was a tight game for a long time. Then unfortunately they scored two quick goals. We tried to come back, but they were really good on defence. They won, but we have to take the positive things from this game into the next game."

 

Winless Slovenia has just one point from an opening 5-4 shootout loss to Switzerland, and its quarter-final prospects are extremely dim. Its next opportunity is against the Czech Republic on Friday. Finland tackles Norway on Saturday.

 

The rink was tilted in Finland’s favour from the get-go, and it looked like just a matter of time until the blue-and-white team opened the scoring. But instead, Kuralt drew first blood for Slovenia, rushing the puck down the ice, cutting into the middle, and fooling Sateri with his quick release.

 

The Finns tried to strike back, but Mikko Lehtonen hit the cross bar. Kroselj grabbed the puck with his blocker hand when he sprawled to foil Sebastian Aho. Antti Pihlstrom shot wide on a partial breakaway. Finland went to the dressing room outshooting Slovenia 15-5 but trailing 1-0.

 

In the second period, life improved for coach Lauri Marjamaki's crew. At 4:06, Savinainen powered a high slap shot over Kroselj. Less than two minutes later, Rantanen was Johnny-on-the-spot when a puck deflected off defenceman Luka Vidmar’s skate to him at the side of the net, and he lifted it past the helpless netminder for a 2-1 lead on the power play.

 

Yet in the third, the Slovenians refused to crumble. Ticar tipped in a power play goal at 5:50, and the neon-green men had new life.

But two Finnish goals in just over a minute sealed Slovenia's fate. First, Aho put Finland up 3-2 on a nice solo jaunt at 9:30, firing one high over the goalie, and Hannikainen tallied at 10:34. It was the Columbus Blue Jackets forward's first World Championship goal and point.

Sallinen rounded out the scoring with an empty-netter with 45 seconds left.

Looking ahead to facing the Czechs, Urbas said: "I think it’s going to be pretty much the same game. They definitely have a good team. We have to play good defence, play as a team, work for one another. If we do that, we can hope for a good, tight game for a while, and then maybe we can surprise them."

Injuries continue to factor into Finland's story. While captain Lasse Kukkonen returned after missing two games with a hand injury, both Miro Aaltonen and Juhamatti Aaltonen were sidelined against Slovenia.

 

Finland has won all four of its meetings with Slovenia, dating back to 2003.

Bad game by Finland yesterday :(  Slovenia really should be very easy to defeat. But then again our entire team is confused and mixed up. We need to get our act together against Norway & Switzerland....  

We need to play against Canada exactly like we played against the Czechs for 55 mins :cheer:

    • 2028 Team Size Projection – Jan 2026 Update   Here’s an update to my 2028 Team Size Projection. While I touch upon major events changes may occur due to results in smaller events. Additionally, several sports released their qualification document so there may be cases where I have to update the projection. I will only include sports where there is an update.   Here is the link to the updated sheet.     Aquatics (Water Polo) The Men’s European Championships saw take gold. The victory moved Serbia up a few places between European nations. With that said, no one fell out of Olympic qualification with the likes of France and Romania still on the outside looking in. remains on the edge.   Athletics (Marathon) Both the Xiamen and Osaka marathons were held this month along with a few other smaller events. While there were a few changes in the rankings, in terms of Olympic projections gains an athlete in the men’s marathon at the expense of   Badminton Major tournaments include the Malaysia Open and India Open. New updates which affected projections include the women’s doubles where overtook . As Polina Buhrova is also scheduled to compete in the singles event, an additional spot has been open. Other changes in the women’s singles was loses one of their quotas. and benefit from those losses.   Indonesia’s loss on the women’s side is offset by gaining a second player in the men’s singles. This puts   on the outside.   Canoeing The qualification document for both Slalom and Sprint were released/updated. No significant changes were found in the Sprint update. Slalom had significant changes relative to 2024 where the initial quotas will be decided by rankings and kayak cross will now have significant quotas being allocated. After adjustment, the following nations lost a quota; Andorra, Chinese Taipei, Ireland, New Zealand, North Macedonia, Slovakia, and Sweden. The following nations gained a quota; Canada, China, France, Italy, South Africa, Spain, and Tunisia.   Cricket The Women’s T20 World Cup Qualifier was held. No changes to the projection.   Equestrian (Dressage & Jumping) Various World Cup events were held. No changes to the projections were made.   Fencing We had two Grand Prix this month, one for epee and the other for sabre. In men’s epee, overtakes . On the women’s side, the United States moved into the top 4 in the team ranking, pushing Estonia down to fifth. This pushed out of Olympic qualification while takes the Americas quota. This caused a downstream effect on the individual side as Ukraine takes an individual quota and Canada relinquishes their quota, additionally, gained a quota while lost one.   In men’s sabre, now takes the Asian team quota pushing down to just an individual quota. No changes were found in women’s sabre.   Handball Four men’s continental championships were held this month. finished top in Africa while a couple of upsets were saw in South America and Asia where and won over and respectively. Despite their wins, they currently haven’t leapfrogged into being projected to qualify. We’ll see how they perform at the World Championships.   Europe saw finish fourth. This was enough to push it into Olympic qualification projection. They pushed out.   Rowing The qualification document was released. There was a change in boat allocation relative to 2024 and the continental qualifier was slightly different than what I projected. Additionally, I assumed coastal rowing would allow 2 men and 2 women to compete in its three events, but the max is 1 man and 1 woman. This has caused significant changes to the projections.   Overall, the United States lost four quotas. Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Lithuania, New Zealand, Norway, and Spain lost two quotas and Algeria, Argentina, Croatia, Cuba, Egypt, Kazakhstan, Netherlands, Portugal, Tunisia lost one quota.   The following nations have gained two athletes; Japan, Morocco while the following nations gained one athlete; Angola, Austria, Belgium, Chile, Chinese Taipei, Cote d’Ivoire, Denmark, Estonia, Kuwait, Latvia, Mexico, Romania, Philippines, Paraguay, Puerto Rico, South Africa, South Korea, Switzerland, Togo, Uzbekistan, Vanuatu   Rugby Sevens Fixing a couple of mistakes. First on the men, actually has the Asian quota over and in the women as is essentially shutting down the program, I think it is only right to remove them until they decide to compete again. This means is also projected to qualify.   As for new updates, we saw the third tier SVNS compete, which brought no new updates and the Singapore SVNS. I also didn’t add the Dubai or Cape Town SVNS in my calculations. For both, while there was some shuffling no one ultimately fell out.   Shooting The Asian Shotgun Championships were held this month. A few top shooters were missing. The only change to the projection is is set to qualify in women’s trap, pushing out   Squash The Tournament of Champions was held this month. Additionally, the qualification document was released. There was some restriction as to how many nations can send two players and this sport will offer universality quotas.   The following nations lost an athlete quota; Colombia, France, Great Britain, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and New Zealand. The following nations gained an athlete quota; Canada, Pakistan, Spain (x2), Switzerland, Ukraine   Triathlon The qualification document was released. There are a few changes relative to 2024. Projection changes include: Losses to Hong Kong and Slovenia and gains for Austria and China.   Weightlifting The qualification document was released. One change to be made was the reallocation process for host nation quotas. Due to this, El Salvador Iraq, Palau, Sri Lanka, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu lost quotas while Australia, China, Dominican Republic, Iran, and Samoa (x2) gained quotas.   Wrestling The qualification document was released. There were some significant changes to the qualification process including using the world rankings and the final qualifier only consisting of non-qualified nations. The projection changes are as follows; losses to Belarus, Bulgaria, China, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Russia, South Korea, Sweden, and Turkey.   Belgium and Lithuania gained 2 quotas while American Samoa, Austria, Estonia, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Latvia, Madagascar, Spain, and Turkmenistan gained 1 quota.
    • Looks like we in the Philippines are in the same situation. No news yet on whether we’ll be able to watch the Games 
    • Cricket is any day in a better position than Baseball, Modern Pentathlon or Rowing 8s globally
    • http://i.imgur.com/gLJZbix.jpg   Honestly football is just on another level. For other sports, an expanded field or creating multiple host cities likely only works with baseball, cricket and maybe basketball, and only in very specific countries.
    • No streaming for the games in India. I contacted IOC they just sent me a list where the games will be shown live.    Last games we had the Olympic channel and YouTube showing the live coverage for regions with no media rights. This time sadly no such schedule.   So much about making the games accessible to all...
    • What revealed those files of Epstein !!!! thousands of scandals , horrible diguisting things mixing politic criminalities , robbery , scam , manipulation...etc    all those celebrities of shht that you love   
    • I wonder if instead of having flexibility around what sport to add there should be one or two team sports per game with an expanded field (of 16 or 32 or w/e) where the host gets to pick which which team sports (if any) has an expanded field.
    • Dunno if this is geoblocked, but this is from our weekly comedy show Saturday Night Live  
    • I don't buy that she's doing this just to start the race if she thinks she won't be competitive.  We'll probably know more after the training run and far be it from me to know how that's going to work with a torn ACL, but if she knows she can't do it, she'll give that spot to another skier
    • And this with relatively small fields, so lots of nations with no skin in the game.
