and it´s over. Slovenia - Austria  2-1.

 

Slovenia won the division I A world championships 2016 and is promoted back into top division next year in Germany and France.

 

Slovenia also saved the Italians with this result. Italy will end the tournament in second place and is almost qualified. almost, because this year we have an exception,  next year there 2 nations which will co-host the world championships and both will play in the same preliminary group this year, so if both of them Germany and France will finish on bottom places of the St. Petersburg preliminary group (7th and 8th) none will be relegated from this group this time and thus Slovenia will be the only one newcommer next year in the top division replacing the relegated team from the Moscow group.

  Italy played some desperate hockey, but sometimes it`s enough

6-1 after 1/3rd of the game  if only we'd beat Italy i  the opening match...

 

At the other hand, I think the rules are a bit unfair... the Goal Difference should be  more important then the results of head to head match. And no, i don't mean it only because   can't qualify for next years higher division  already ( but yes, it does prove how unfair the system is) and i dont mean only Ice Hockey, but every sport where these kind of rules apply.

I hope too. I mean its much more fan to watch Hungary over Italy in top division. But I really doubt it will happen. However good luck in Moscow next week

Thanks! And you are absolutely right. Hungary is the outsider. But that would be funny to Italy!
