So, the Day "D" and Game "G" is here...the only and most important match of the whole year for our Junior´s National team is here. The whole year the whole preparation has been aimed (just like in many past years) just for this match. a do-or-die must win game. I don´t want to even imagine what could happen if we´ll fail tonight.

 

Let´s go boys ! Do what you have to secure us the top division also for the next year (if we succeed we´ll be for the 25th year in a row among the world juniors elite, and still with the status of a never relegated country since the first introduction into the top U20 division)

 

Slovensko do toho !

in some circumstances also a Kazakhstans win in regulation time will be enough for Sweden to top the group, but only if Finland defeat USA after Overtime/Penalty Shoot-Out

A 2 points win will signify 1st place if Sweden lose to KAZ in Regulation Time otherwise USA will finish seconds of the group,

FIN - Any win over the USA will assure them to finish higher than their opponent and at worst the 2nd place of the group.
