MEN'S WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS 2017 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Preliminary Round DAY 11 Group B Central European Summer Time (GMT +2) France 4 - 1 Slovenia Period-by-Period: 0-0, 2-0, 2-1 May 15th 2016, h. 20:15, AccorHotels Arena, Paris End of an era Huet, Meunier say farewell in win over Slovenia French goalie Cristobal Huet and captain Laurent Meunier ended their long and honourable international careers with a 4-1 victory over Slovenia on Monday. On paper, the final group game for both teams at the AccorHotels Arena only mattered for seeding purposes. France had already been eliminated from quarter-final contention, while Slovenia was doomed to last place in Group B . But it was a time to celebrate and reflect on two players who have made immeasurable contributions to the success of French hockey. Les Bleus have stayed in the elite division of the IIHF World Championship every year since 2008. Huet shone in his swan song as Slovenia outshot France 27-25. Antoine Roussel led the way with a hat trick and an assist, while Yohann Auvitu had a goal and two helpers. With 24 seconds left in the game, coach Dave Henderson called his timeout and the French players came out to bang their sticks on the ice and salute their veteran netminder. Huet then retired to the bench as backup Florian Hardy gave him a well-earned rest. He was named France's Player of the Game. Huet, 41, first suited up at an IIHF World Championship in 1997. This is his 13th elite-division tournament, tying him for the all-time record with Russia’s Vladislav Tretiak and Belarus’s Andrei Mezin. In addition to a distinguished career with French and Swiss NLA clubs (he won a title in each league), the two-time Olympian became the first Frenchman to capture the Stanley Cup with the Chicago Blackhawks in 2010. Meunier, 38, made his top-level Worlds debut in 1999 and has played 12 elite-division Worlds. He has worn the “C” with the national team since 2005. The all-around forward’s club career has taken him to France, the United States, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland. Most of the crowd of 12,807 stayed to give their two heroes an appreciative homage during an emotional post-game ceremony. In the first period, the French started off slowly and Huet confounded the Slovenian attack. He foiled Bostjan Golicic on two close-in attempts. With 3:16 left in the frame, defenceman Jonathan Janil tripped up Ales Music on a breakaway and the Slovene was awarded a penalty shot. Huet stared him down and Music fired wide. Early in the second period, Janil and his partner Damien Raux kept the game deadlocked at zero, scrambling to block two Slovenian attempts on an empty net with Huet caught out of position. The French finally broke through with NHL expertise. At 8:20, 15 seconds into a power play, Auvitu of the New Jersey Devils unleashed a center point shot that the Dallas Stars agitator Roussel, parked in front, tipped past Slovenian starter Matija Pintaric. Less than three minutes later, Auvitu scored his second goal of the tournament on a snap shot, converting a drop pass from Pierre-Edouard Bellemare of the Philadelphia Flyers. At the other end, Huet denied Golicic on a nice chance off the rush, and denied Robert Sabolic from the slot with France killing a late-period penalty for too many men on the ice. In the third period, Roussel stretched France's lead to 3-0 at 4:01 with a two-man advantage, tipping in another Auvitu shot. Just 24 seconds later, Mursak struck back with a shorthanded breakaway tally, fighting off a backchecking Damien Fleury and tucking a backhand through Huet's legs. But the Slovenes wouldn't be able to spoil the festivities for Huet and Meunier. Roussel rounded out the scoring with an empty-netter with 1:30 left, and the fans chanted in honor of Huet as the seconds ticked down. Slovenia's three best players of the tournament were named: Jan Mursak, Robert Sabolic, and Ales Kranjc. For France, it was Cristobal Huet, Laurent Meunier, and Stephane Da Costa.

MEN'S WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS 2017 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Preliminary Round DAY 11 Group A Central European Summer Time (GMT +2) Russia 5 - 0 Latvia Period-by-Period: 2-0, 2-0, 1-0 May 15th 2016, h. 20:15, LANXESS Arena, Cologne Russia rolls to 5-0 win Panarin back with three assists Russia's win over Latvia tonight at LANXESS arena marking their third straight shutout. They remain on top of Group A. Two goals in the first, two in the second, and one more in the third aided Russia’s sixth win, setting up a showdown with Team USA tomorrow to determine first place in the group. Latvia was attempting to reverse a two game losing streak after winning their first three games in the tournament. Today they would come up far short. Further, Latvia has not beaten Russia in World Championship competition since 2004. Russia’s offence remained lethal even with changes in the lineup because of new additions to the roster and injuries. Washington Capitals Yevgeni Kuznetsov and Dmitri Orlov both played their first game of the tournament. Sergei Mozyakin has left the competition after suffering an injury against Germany. Artemi Panarin returned to the lineup and was again a stellar performer. His three assists paced the attack as he teamed with Nikita Kucherov who had a goal and two assists, and with Vladislav Namestnikov adding a goal. Latvian goaltender Elvis Merzlikins, who has been outstanding, was given the night off. Ivars Punnenovs was selected to face down the Russian machine. Punnenovs has represented Latvia at U18 and U20 World Championships but this would be his senior men’s debut. Goaltender Andrei Vasilevski is one of Russia’s best players in this group. Coming into the contest he’s racked up four wins in as many games and two shutouts that came in consecutive games. But tonight, he was given a rest and Ilya Sorokin made his first start. Russia enjoyed numerous early chances. They cycled and passed the puck, working it deep and showing enough energy to keep the Latvians on their toes. Vadim Shipachyov sent a bank pass off the neutral zone boards that just managed to elude defenceman Guntis Galvins and found Nikita Gusev who collected the biscuit for a backhand shot that went through Punnenovs goal pads just wide. At 12:10, Russia won an offensive zone draw and Panarin passed the puck to Bogdan Kiselevich who fired a wrist shot that made its way through on goal, hitting Punnenovs, and finding the net. Sergei Plotnikov enjoyed a commanding first period. Plotnikov shook a defender behind the net then attempted a wraparound that was stopped. It was his first of three shots in the period. Later, he set up Ivan Telegin at 18:41 for a 2-0 lead. Uvis Balinskis could not control the puck in the neutral zone and it squirted past him to Plotnikov who skated in two-on-one in the Latvian zone for a shot that was saved. The rebound remained loose under the goaltender in the crease with a sea of bodies in front. Telegin skated towards the traffic in the crease to tap the puck in for his second tournament goal. With four seconds remaining in the first, Oscars Cibulskis was whistled for a hooking penalty that would carry into the next period. Latvia did exactly what you shouldn’t do playing against the top ranked power play in the tournament: give them a chance to create with the man advantage. Fifty-seven seconds into the start of the second, Namestnikov scored on the power play with help from Panarin. After being down 7-0 in shots, Latvia reeled off six shots of their own in a five minute span. Sorokin made a few excellent chances along the way. At 10:39 Cibulskis sent a point blank shot on Sorokin who kept it out with a pad save. Russia has given up a mere five goals in six games. At the 19:00 mark of the middle period, Kucherov scored to make it 4-0. And finally when Balinskis was sent off for slashing, Russia scored their 12th power play goal pof the tournament when Anton Belov found his scoring touch at 13:17 of the third. Russia's game tomorrow against Team USA will decide who finishes first in Group A and gets the chance to play the fourth seed from Group B in Paris. Then the final Preliminary Round game at LANXESS arena pits Latvia against Germany with the winner moving through to the round of eight.

I disagree, you belong there, with this team for sure. I liked your play more than the team from Minsk 2014. Unfortunately there perhaps a problem with stamina..this is not normal to lose 3 matches (SVK, LAT and DEN) in the last 2 minutes...In all 3 games you fought for points 58 minutes and then came the colapse...the second problem was clearly the very low scoring efficiency, I thought we will have the lowest in the tournament but Italy was even worse...only 6 goals scored is very bad result... Yes the Egger mistake is terrible and painful, even our commentators have been shocked and said they are sad for him...I feel so bad for him and that goal...but surely it was about bad ice, there were huge ice issues during the whole tournament in Lanxess this week... all in all I liked your team and play here. will cheer you next year in Div IA. See you in Slovakia "Blue team"

lol Dadonov what a miss

I really still can´t believe this goal..here the full video of the goal moment. dear lord, I watched so many hockey games but never saw nothing like this. this is so sad. I feel so sorry for Egger. I would have prefered Denmark score the empty netter but not this way... Really I have bad feelings for Egger. Hopefully Italy will return stronger from this. Don´t give up Italy.

MEN'S WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS 2017 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Preliminary Round DAY 11 Group B Central European Summer Time (GMT +2) Canada 5 - 0 Norway Period-by-Period: 2-0, 2-0, 1-0 May 15th 2016, h. 16:15, AccorHotels Arena, Paris Canada back on track Norway couldn’t contain speed, lose 5-0 Canada made a full and impressive recovery from its overtime loss to the Swiss two days ago, pouring on the pressure and defeating Norway handily. Tonight it was the power play that led the way, scoring four of the five goals. Defenceman Colton Parayko counted two of those. Chad Johnson earned the easy shutout, stopping only ten shots (eight in the first, two in the second, and none in the third). The win puts Canada back on top of the Group B standings, but as significantly the loss eliminates Norway from the quarter-finals. It can now finish no higher than fifth in the group. Canada got off to a bit of a strange start. Ryan O’Reilly was awarded a penalty shot at 1:52 and fired high over the net, and at 4:39 Wayne Simmonds scored a nice goal only to have it waived off because the net was clearly off its moorings well before the puck crossed the goal line. It wasn’t until 17:48 on a power play that Canada got one that counted. Brayden Schenn got to a rebound first and popped the puck in after Chris Lee’s point shot started the play. Just 54 seconds later, on another power play, Colton Parayko wired a point shot that went all the way, beating Henrik Haukeland to the glove side. Mark Scheifele added to the lead at 14:57 of the second, also on a rebound. Haukeland had trouble with a bouncing puck, and Scheifele had no trouble sweeping the loose puck in. Parayko scored his second of the night on a virtually identical play to his first. On a power play, he stepped into a point shot and beat the goalie clean, this time over the shoulder. O'Reilly made up for his penalty-shot miss by scoring on a one-timer from in close off a Scheifele pass on the power play at 17:20 of the third. Canada finishes its round robin tomorrow with a late game against Finland. Norway plays the early game against Belarus.

MEN'S WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS 2017 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Preliminary Round DAY 11 Group A Central European Summer Time (GMT +2) Denmark 2 - 0 Italy Period-by-Period: 0-0, 0-0, 2-0 May 15th 2016, h. 16:15, LANXESS Arena, Cologne Green retires with a win Denmark leaves it late, relegates Italy Italy stumbled in its must-win game, struggling to generate offence and losing to a pair of late Danish goals as the two nations finish their 2017 campaigns. Denmark left it late, but a 58th-minute goal from Nichlas Hardt gave the team its first regulation time victory of this year’s championship and condemned Italy to relegation. The result also means that Belarus and Slovakia have definitely secured their spots in 2018. Hardt struck on the power play, receiving the puck at the side of the net after Frederik Sturm and Julian Jakobsen found the passes to slice through Italy’s defence and producing the kind of decisive finish this meeting had lacked for the previous 57 minutes of play. Italy, seeing its slim hopes of survival disappear, gambled on withdrawing its goalie to try to save itself. By that backfired in the most agonising way imaginable: Alexander Egger stumbled in front of his own empty net while collecting a pass from Thomas Larkin, and watched in horror as the puck slithered between the piping. The goal was credited to Denmark’s Peter Regin. It had been a high-stakes game – Italy’s last chance of survival was on the line. A regulation-time victory for the Italians would have given Stephan Mair’s team a real shot at staying in the Elite Pool if Slovakia were to lose to Sweden on the final day of group phase action. Denmark, exempt from relegation worries as it hosts next year, also had plenty of motivation going into the game. First, the Danes faced the prospect of finishing bottom of Group A if it failed to garner at least one point from the game. There was also the small matter of helping national team stalwart Morten Green finish his international career on a winning note. Those late goals gave the Danish captain a victorious farewell; his player of the game award was a small tribute to a great career on the world stage that began with the under-18s back in 1997. After the game and the presentations, Denmark's traveling fans held up posters of Green, chanting 'Morten! Morten!' as their hero took his final lap of honour. Morten Poulsen explained how much Green's presence meant to team Denmark over the years. "He’s probably the first great player we’ve had on the international stage playing for Denmark. I’ve never played a team game without Morten," Poulsen said. "It is going to be crazy coming to these tournaments without him. He’s such a huge part of this team. Not only on the ice but off as well. He’s like a father figure and he’s going to be missed." The game itself was never a classic encounter. Italy, aware that lapses in concentration had been its downfall earlier in the competition, set up to give nothing away. A cautious defensive approach, paying special attention to the pace of Nikolaj Ehlers, ensured that the squaddra azzurra remaining in contention for that vital victory. However, it limited opportunities at the other end, and too often the team fluffed its lines at the crucial moment. Simon Kostner was the first to miss his chance inside the first five minutes. A breakdown in the Danish defence saw the puck come to Kostner as he stood all alone on Sebastian Dahm’s doorstep; the Italian failed to control it and the chance evaporated. Hesitancy also denied Raphael Andergassen midway through the second period after Giulio Scandella’s rush took him behind Dahm’s net. Andergassen collected his pass in a dangerous position, but took an extra touch and allowed Dahm to position himself for the block. Just as in its previous World Championship campaign in Minsk, Italy finished with a meagre six goals in seven games, clear evidence of where it needs to improve at this level. However, in three games the Italians would have taken more points had they not conceded goals in final two or three minutes. Those late lapses cost a win over Slovakia in game one, and denied the team a shot at overtime against Latvia and again today. Scandella cut a frustrated figure at the end. "We tried to work hard and get a goal when we needed it but that didn’t happen and the power play goal was the difference in the third," he said. "We played them close and tough so to lose a late one goal is not bad, but we always want better." Denmark also had chances, with Ehlers’ speed frequently causing alarm in the Italian zone. Morten Madsen went close in the first period with a shot that looped off Andreas Bernard’s helmet and clipped the top of the goal frame before bouncing to safety. Madsen’s feed also presented Peter Regin with a big chance in the second period, but the Jokerit Helsinki forward poked wide of the target from close range. "We wanted to make sure that we go into next year’s World Championship earning our place and we did that today," Poulsen concluded. The third period saw Denmark generate more offence: Bernard finished with 37 saves to Dahm’s 14. And ultimately that pressure paid off as the Danes finished with a win and an emotional send-off for captain Green.

btw this moment. I´m very happy that we survived all this years nightmare, hopefully the things will start to solve in our hockey now...It´s The highest time. but a bit sad for Italy, their relegation was really ...well...how to say...terribly painful... look which goal send Italy today back to division IA Poor Egger, one of the best historic Italian player and iconic legend of Italian hockey. what a disastrous moment for him
