Absolutely not. We're launching a new dynasty, slowly working our way forward, eventually beating you after another 22 years.

Slaf is part of the team of the tournament!

Well. Nathan should have put the puck in the empty net.

Alright, I'm tuning in. There's no way I can miss this.

Good luck to both teams, there should be plenty of drama and action. Despite looking forward to the final, I just can't bring myself to watch it.

I would much rather see us win tonight than in the first game of the tournament.

Well, it still hasn’t settled in an hour later. This team has given me so many heartbreaks over the years it’s actually insane. I can’t imagine having to endure to this for multiple decades. Even if we have some luck, we’re just not destined to finish the job. I don’t know. This sucks. Everyone in the country would be over the moon if someone told us about finishing fourth before the tournament, but it just sucks. Not getting to see them with the medals, not getting to see them cheerfuly answering questions from the media, I don’t know. I mean, yeah, fourth place is great. No matter how the games looked like, we can claim we’re the fourth best team after the tournament, no one can take that away. But to imagine we were one game from celebrating with the players on the main square in the capital, I don’t even want to imagine. I don’t know.

Fourth place is amazing. I’m sure we will appreciate it more in the following days, but man, it sucks so much right now.

So, the day is here. Everyone glued to the screens again. Let's win the medal!

I don't know, I'm not really disappointed. This is already way beyond the wildest expectations before the tournament. It would be great to end this run with a medal tomorrow.

This semifinal game will be watched by fans inside the hockey stadium in Bratislava, across all restaurants, bars and community centers in the country, the only thing left is for news anchors to wear the jerseys. The only shame is that there's not a watch party happening in the streets due to the weather.

Not alive for 2002. Too young to remember 2012. Bring on 2026.

Damn, does Estonia have a chance to grab a medal here?

What about Spain? I think they can take advantage of this event being added.

@hckošice Paris unluckiness flashbacks.

Well.

Let's go!

I'm pretty interested in how this will turn out, I assume most people never got to watch this, let's see if we have a chance tomorrow.

Alright, but let us have the bronze this time.

Well, that's embarrassing. How the hell did that get sent three times?

We were basically playing with six players. Fixed it.

There's only one solution. Divide it into five blocks, each lasting one minute (5 on 5, 4 on 4, 3 on 3, 2 on 2, 1 on 1). Total chaos. Everyone will like it. My idea is simply perfect.

Holy shit. The best game of the tournament so far.

Absolutely not. This is a huge shock and I'm still speechless.
