the fact that Hungary, who lost to Kazakhstan in game 1, also went on to beat Italy (who beat the Poles in Game 1, and then Poland beat the Slovenians in Game 2), shows how difficult, and important today's game is going to be. And how even the group is. Believe me, there's plenty of hesd-scratching going on out here as we try to work out what is likely to happen! Last night's game was made even more interesting by the controversial wiping out of an Italian goal when the scores were tied at 2... most of us thought it was a good goal. That was a costly call for the Italians...

1-1 after 1.
Decent 1st period and more than matched them at even strength. Not worried though. Just need to kill off the penalty and work at getting that 2nd goal.

Fantastic 1st period just one bad mistake cost us. Two seconds left of 4v4 and the dman didn’t see who played a long pass through the neutral zone which was intercepted and put us under pressure and the goal was conceded. Had to hold the puck when we just going on the pk.

2 in 2 minutes, 3-1 to them. I'm not blaming anyone here Mick, but maybe you could switch it off again?

Never looked like it to me. In the end they stuck with the onil ice decision of good goal. The angles we were getting wern't great but it took them way, way too long to decide. Must have been a minimum 10 minutes.

The commentary were saying it should have been 5 minutes.

6-1 OK I've turned it off. Alright I lied but it did the trick. Now listen, we've played (on WC placings and my thoughts) the two toughest teams so far. we are up there in 2ndish spot. Those two teams will win other games. We just need to do our best against the other three and with that win over the Slova's we have still a great chance.Just wished the average GD was better after today.

Big game today. Aspirations of promotion and this needs to be a win. At the same time it's equally important to avoid relegation. As bad as they have been I expect Slovenia to pick up a few results. The team that does get relegated is almost certainly going to have at least 3 points.

I would of though avoid relegation is the ambition this time round.

I'm sure in private it probably is, but may as well aim high. Agree with Bagheera that we'll need more than 3 points to even do that, can't see Slovenia being kept off the board entirely (although we have the head-to-head advantage there of course). Poland you would think is one of the better chances to get some more points. Italy are 2 up against Kazakhstan, still in the first though.

3-0 win for the Italians. Which is quite frightening to say the Slovenians and the Kazachs were the favourites.
