Problem you've got is a team that know a win gives them glory vs an opposition that would rather not be there anymore.

I'd hoped that as we have won a game in regulation and the Danes had not , we'd have some weight on that but I'm clutching at straws. That first game is haunting us now.

That’s a frustrating result for us, hopefully Krakow play for their fans tomorrow and for their own pride.

Nahhhh said it in the other thread, can see them putting in the backup and letting the hosts score a bagful. Can’t see Europe wanting a British win.

On the other hand... so far, the Poles have 0 points after 2 games. It could be a matter of serious pride for them not to remain completely pointless from the weekend.
Who knows?
Predicting motivations in this kind of situation is problematical at best...

We could genuinely end up in the situation tomorrow where we could both be playing with empty nets.
If SonderjyskE win in overtime and go to 6 points us and Grodno will both need a regulation win to claim the tournament. If our game goes to overtime we’d both lose so surely we’d see something like this to stop SonderjyskE winning by default if we’re tied with say...1 minute left?

We could genuinely end up in the situation tomorrow where we could both be playing with empty nets. Slight aside... I've actually seen that happen! 2018 IIHF World Championships, Div. 1A in Budapest, Hungary... the last day of the tournament, game 2 of the day (Italy vs Slovenia) was tied at 3-3 right near the end of the 3rd... first the Slovenians pulled their netminder, then the Italians did - 12 outskaters on the ice, it was insane! Then a Slovenian D-man made an oopsie and the Italians scored to eventually get themselves 2nd place and promotion up to the top level. Of course, game 3 that day was GB vs Hungary with Robert Farmer's famous equaliser in the last minute to take us to OT and give GB the point we needed for gold and promotion. What a day that was... |

Let’s hope for something equally chaotic tomorrow, it will mean we have a chance! Also just watched the footage, it seems like the Italy goaltender never actually made it off the ice and Italy scored with 7 players on! |
