I still remember the match between Italy and Sweden at the 1992 Worlds (in Prague and Bratislava)...we got one of the best results of our history (a 0-0 draw), but the shooting score was 89-1 for Sweden so, I'm quite expert in this kind of "humiliating superiority", at least for what concerns the overall level of play... p.p.s. guess who was elected as the "man of the match" in that game? yes! you're right! It was our goalie...David Delfino on that given day, to be precise... This was not a surprise, this was clearly a absolute and pure miracle Man, even in our betting companies there were odds around 36.5:1 for our win but I must admit, I was extremely pleasantly surprised by the performance, a total opposite of the one day earlier game against Canada. I mean, the team spirit and the will was clearly visible, the guys just wanted to win this match, and the goal of Samuel Buček (Undrafted player !!!!) was something I´ll remember for quite a long while. Here the jewel live in our TV it was something around 4:15 AM here and it was clearly to hear huge enjoying explosions throughout the building here. I remember a huge GOALLLLL comming from my upper neighbors but yeah, to beat the reigning world champions on their soil and stop their epic winning streak is a moment of pride for our hockey and sport. now hopefully this will not be our only brilliant moment, we still have the match of our tournament to play against Denmark, only after that game we will know if this tournament is successful. Haha I see, well Italy was always considered to have great goalies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hckošice 14,790 Posted December 30, 2017 Author #68 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Miracles do not happen every day Congrats Finland for the deserved win, but what weird and silly mistakes we did today is not normal, the 4th Finland´s goal ! I have no words, a "own goal" directly from winning face off, is something we really don´t see so often also the 5th goal was pretty embarassing...pity with some better luck a point from this match was not so impossible to earn, but you just can not succeed against such powerhouse as the Suomis are with producing so many idiotic faults..but well, once again, we are still speaking about 18-19 years kids all in all, we are back to our original and only goal of this tournament, tomorrows must win game against Denmark.
