Wait what! It’s literally less than 2 days before the games. Glad to see them enter the fold, but it’s almost like they had divine intervention to get in this year. Do you have a link to the article or announcement? 

https://zenit.org/articles/athletica-vaticana-in-montenegro-for-games-of-small-states-of-europe/

Here’s the only article I could find in English. But they also posted it on Athletica Vaticana’s Facebook page!

Well  has to play qualifying against Belarus and Austria. Because China is in.

I’m of two minds about this. A team that loses 8-0 to Croatia should not be competing at the Olympics. But China is a huge market for ice hockey, and I love the sport, so hopefully it can help there.

We can take Vatican City  off the “Unaffiliated” list as they’ve just confirmed their first participation in this year’s Games of the Small States of Europe

and back to the ice for the last quarterfinals.

 

in the very last match in Košice during this world championship the 2nd team of group A will face the 3rd team of group B, so Finland vs Sweden, the derby usually called the derby without favorite. Both teams played together also in 2011 when Slovakia hosted the world champiosnhips for the first time and it was in the very last game of the tournament in that epic gold medal match and team around Mikael Granlund won that match in impressive way 6-1 to claim their 2nd ever world title.

 

In Bratislava the 2nd team of Group B will face the 3rd team of Group A. The almost home country Czech Republic will face a very dangerous squad of Germany led by their super star Leon Draisaitl who basically qualified his team to the quarterfinals by scoring that for Slovakia hearthbreaking winning goal in the last minute and the 2 winning goals in the last period over Finland causing Suomi will have to play against Sweden in the QF.

 

The matches will start soon.

 

Note: for the semifinals

If FIN and CZE wins...the semifinals will be RUS-FIN and CAN-CZE

if FIN and GER wins... the semifinals will be RUS-GER and CAN-FIN

if SWE and CZE wins ...the semifinals will be RUS-SWE and CAN-CZE

if SWE and GER wins...the semifinals will be RUS-GER and CAN-SWE

We’re facing Canada no matter what. Perfect.

yes, all unlikely scenarios...Draisaitl's goal just killed an entire Nation, I fear...

 

it's a real pity that after such an amzing start, SVK just lost their minds...because I'm pretty sure that losing games like they did vs CAN and above all GER it's only a matter of mental issues...

I think the US losing to Canada and Germany/Denmark is possible. Let’s hope. It’s not just in the realm of obscurity yet.

America has to lose against Canada (possible) and either Denmark or Germany. Slovakia has to win all their games.

Or some unexpected Canada/Finland losses.

Can’t catch Germany no matter what.

Honestly there is basically no way Slovakia can make the quarterfinals now.

This was one insanely disastrous match from both our goalies ! Especially Peter Budaj, probably his worst match in all his career, he literally got a goal from every shot..never seen anything like that before and then (after being quickly replaced after only 5 minute - and the match was already done) also Rastislav Staňa...

 

This was seriously one extremely embarassing afternoon

I've found an entire video- the commentators are talking all about how great Peter Budaj was before the game. 

It's just comic in the sense that everyone was in total shock, and it didn't matter extremely much.

I remember I was crying that morning watching our guys crying but yeah, it was our fault, we had it in our hands, but messed everything with dumb mistakes in the last 10 or so minutes...

 

pity.. we´ll probably never have such amazing team and such chances again

Honestly Slovakia losing to Denmark was more comic than anything, but the loss to Finland at the Olympics was just heartwrenching  It was such an amazing effort though. Big shoes to fill for sure.

Thanks for the reminder, very kind of you very likely the worst 20 minutes in SVK Ice Hockey history or second worst just after the last 20 minutes of Vancouver 2010 bronze medal match

Always happy to help

Seriously ? that´s really surprise me

Yeah nothing in America either except a couple of stereotypical New York Times articles about gender equality mentioned her. Nothing focusing on her though, which is pretty sad.

Also the one is awesome the part from 0:20 to 0:50

 

 

once in Norway they mixed it completely and played it instead of the national anthem  lol

 

 

 

Reminds me of when they played the Borat anthem for a Kazakhstani shooter in Dubai

Every year I write the same, but I can not help myself, always when I hear it i get immediately a smile on my face.

 

Slovenia and their epic goal song the best goal song ever

The Czech goal horn, I'm sure, is designed to piss off the opponent's goalie. 

I'm hoping Korea will go down and be replaced by Japan.
