Sweden last semifinalist beating Latvia 3-2

Empty net Latvia

Switzerland in the semifinals after 5 years ! Finland winner of Group B is out

Empty net FINLAND

Latvia back in the game. Rudolfs Balcers with a let say weak shoot that surprisingly finished in the net . 2-3

and it´s 3-1 for Sweden. A lot of players around the Latvian goal resulting in a unclear situation, Merzlikins on the ice and Oliver Ekman-Larsson with a easy goal to the empty net

and the first one just realized. second FIN goal of the match. Mikko Rantanen 2-3 and Finland continue with the second minor power play

Great chance for Finland. Double minor penalty for SUI Fora 2+2 minutes for high sticking + blood !

Since the start of 3rd period the Swedes are literally making fire and brimstones on the Latvian defensive zone and it just couldn´t finished otherwise than with a goal in the Elvis Merzlikins net. Viktor Arvidsson scored the goal deflecting a shoot from Ekholm

Results after 2nd Period Quarterfinal 1A-4B in Copenhagen Sweden - Latvia 1-1 (0-0, 1-1,-) 26:36 Filip Forsberg (Kempe / Ekman-Larsson) 1-0 31:59 Teodors Blugers (Rihards Bukarts) 1-1 Quarterfinal 1B-4A in Herning Finland - Switzerland 1-3 (1-0, 0-3,-) 07:01 Markus Nutivaara (Koivisto / Rantanen) 1-0 29:13 Enzo Corvi (Fiala / Niederreiter) 1-1 32:32 Joel Vermin (Unassisted) 1-2 33:08 Gregory Hofmann (S. Moser) 1-3

and no goal ! this was a huge chance, this may really hurt the Latvians...

2 minutes 2mans advantage power play for Latvia !!!!

Fun fact. In the last 8 quarterfinals that Switzerland played at the world championships they never scored more than 2 goals per match, tonight they already beat it scoring 3 goals

and in 4 minutes it´s from 0-1 now 3-1 for Switzerland, after goals of Joel Vermin and Gregory Hofmann...expecting a time-out for Finland at same time Latvia equalized to 1-1 Teodors Blugers with a great shoot tied the match

Enzo Corvi equalized the score between Finland and Switzerland using the huge activity of Nino Niederreiter, his great pass found Kevin Fiala who didn´t succeeded against Säteri but Corvi was the fastest to the puck and scored

First goal in SWE-LAT match. Filip Forsberg opened the score capitalizing a enormous pressure in the offensive zone. The Latvians tried the video challenge but unsuccessfully, which means goal is approved and Latvia will not have the possibility to use a time-out in this game.

Results after 1st Period Quarterfinal 1A-4B in Copenhagen Sweden - Latvia 0-0 (0-0,-,-) Quarterfinal 1B-4A in Herning Finland - Switzerland 1-0 (1-0,-,-) 07:01 Markus Nutivaara (Koivisto / Rantanen) 1-0

Prediction contests = just for fan at least from now

In SVK we call your hockey team the Suomi , so for some reason I involuntarily written it here too, I know me and my bad habits

1-0 for Finland in Herning Koivisto with a perfect pass founds Markus Nutivaara in front of the net and the "Suomis" lead 1-0

Sincerely I have no idea. But I´ll be really surprised if SVK will take part of this competition in the soon or later future There absolutely no particular interest in the country about it (if no Totallympics I would barely notice that Israel won it ) and since the show is always scheduled during the Ice Hockey worlds, there no chance the national broadcaster can find any room to schedule it

btw just for anecdote. I predicted +1 for CZE and RUS, talk about a guy who follow ice hockey half of every day of the last +/- 20 years and can not start the day without reading the results and news of hockey even of French or Norwegian leagues. yeah, hockey expert at it´s pure finest

Depend on SUI and LAT results, if both will lose, RUS will be 5th and CZE 6th

No, even after the penalties it´s still counted as +1, only the winning (differential) goal is scored for the stats. so even if you won 4-2 on the penalties after the match ended 1-1 in regulation time, the final score will be 2-1 after PSO
