Roster updates from yesterday evening/today Completed the preliminary round roster by adding the Philadelphia Flyers defencer Philippe Myers, who landed in Košice yesterday and already played today against France. Canada has now the full 25 players roster for the preliminary round but will have to play without Brandon Montour who is out of the tournament because of injury from the gams against Slovakia Denmark completed the preliminary roster as well, submitting in the last two free places, 2 forwards, Mathias From and especially the talented Patrick Russell from the AHL Bakersfield Condors with quite important amount of experiences also from NHL with the Edmonton Oilers, he landed in Košice yesterday. Denmark hast then the full registred 25 players roster now. which means Rondbjerg and Blichfeld had to return back home.

The last spot being filled by the super star Gabriel Landeskog, the Colorado striker played already today against Austria and scored after 1 minute. This also means the end of dream for the defencer Lukas Bengtsson and forwards Joakim Nygard and Anton Wedin who will not make the team for the preliminary round. All teams qualified for the KO round will be able to add 2 more skaters in the next phase of the tournament. Czech Republic as expected submitted today two players into their preliminary round roster the Dallas Stars forward Radek Faksa and the defencer Petr Zámorský. CZE has now 24 players registered (3+21) so one more spot is available and will be very likely filled soon by Milan Guláš the Czech Extraliga season´s top scorer.

Back from the match. What a fantastic atmosphere and terrible but seriously terrible ending. The luckyest team won today and the better lost, never mind, that´s just a sport. this is a beautiful sport and things like this something happen, sadly this is the second time we lost this way. it didn´t work this time, but our guys should be proud with what they showed at this tournament. Our problem was clearly the goaltending, oh god, how much we needed Boston to be eliminated. Halák would surely never allow that last second goal to Canada and todays drastic end with Germany. Our quarterfinals hopes are over. That´s really sad. but anyway I enjoyed the atmosphere and everything (except that end ofc lol) and now about my experience at the Arena. What a atmosphere this was. something any real sport fan is dreaming his entire life. Already the entrance to the arena was like a neverending movie, I felt like being somewhere in Kaboul main station or something. 3 different controls zones (one stricter than the other) you have to pass to finally being able to enter the stadium. but once you are there wow. peoples who watched it in TV will know what about I´m saying. I lterally have no voice. Once again pity, for the result, being 2 minutes of the quarterfinals and lost everything this way that hurts, trust me, that freakingly hurts, but the whole atmosphere and our team spirit even after the match was something so awesome to see and experience, that who cares about the result. we´ll not make the quarterfinals but YES we are a Hockey republic.

Roster updates from yesterday evening/todays morning Slovakia, since Boston is now leading 3-0 in the NHL Stanley Cup conference final, ourhopes to have Jaro Halák and one of their skaters Zdeno Chára or Peter Cehlárik are gone, our team decided to complete the roster for the preliminary round. We officially submitted today our 24th and last 25th player to the official roster. The 3rd goalie Denis Godla and 22nd skater, the forward Dávid Bondra. so now after and Slovakia became the 6th team to have the final complete roster for the preliminary round. Switzerland added yesterday the 24th player, the Colorado Avalanche forward Sven Andrighetto. he played already last night against Austria just after landing in Europe. SUI has now only 1 place for a skater in their roster for the preliminary round open the teams that still not completed their official rosters for the preliminary round. United States has still only 22 players registered. (2+20) so still 3 places available for 1 goalie and 2 skaters (one of them will be used for sure by the Columbus defencer Zach Werenski who have to land to Košice soon. Canada has now 24 players in the official roster (3+21) meaning 1 place for a skater is still available. Denmark has right now registred 23 players (3+20) still 2 places for skaters available France has 24 players registred (3+21) only 1 place for a skater left, probably it will be fullfiled by the defencer Pierre Crinon, since the team already send back home the experienced forward Teddy Da Costa yesterday. Sweden 22 players registred (3+19) They have still 3 spots for skaters open, one of them will be used by Gabriel Landeskog, who already accepted the invitation and will land in Bratislava soon. Russia has 24 players registred now (3+21) one spot for a skater is still available Czech Republic 22 players in the official roster (3+19), so 3 places for skaters are still available, of them will be fullfiled tomorrow by the Dallas forward Radek Faksa and the Plzeň forward Milan Gulaš. Latvia 24 registred players (3+21) 1 place for a field player still available Italy 24 registred players (3+21) 1 place for a field player still available Also important things to note, few teams lost players because of injury or other things Canada can not count on the help of Brandon Montour the defencer was injured in the game with Slovakia for injury in lower part of body and is out for the rest of the tournament lost for the whole rest of the tournament their forward Thomas Rosseli Olsen Latvia lost for the whole tournament their forward Rodrigo Abols, he already left the team and submitted surgery in Sweden Slovakia our defencer Marek Ďaloga after the injury in the match vs Finland is still not fully recovered and will not be able to play at least untill the weekend... Germany has troubles with their NHL goal tender Philipp Grubauer who got some muscular injury in his first game at the tournament last night against France and according the german team is still not fit to play today against Slovakia. and finally one UNBELIEVABLE NEWS !!! Denmark lost their big NHL star Lars Eller who already returned back home during the night. Apparently he had some "discret secret agreement" with the coach that he will come to Slovakia but will play only the first 3 matches ! I mean WTF ??? @wumo26 @Agger is this true ? and any news or reactions about in Denmark ? because it´s really something you don´t see every day lol

Anyway I am so super hyper mega excited for the match tonight, my very first of this WCH I´ll watch live in the Steel Arena. and it´s gonna be a direct quarterfinal match a true "small final" . I hope we´ll win, we really need finally something good for our hockey

I did. Yes, it´s so far very bad, the difference is unfortunately huge. but as I said, with another super day from Bernard you still can do something against Austria and even Norway. I meant too harsh, for this " this time, we don't even have a decent tactical plan (basically the only thing we have always had in the past)... " you know it´s not true
