[slovakiasnextone]

So far this week:

Germany U18 - Slovakia U18 2-5
Germany U16 - Slovakia U16 2-8

Please continue this trend tomorrow...

[jcbio11]

Looking forward to watching the match tomorrow.

I'll be cheering for Slovakia, but good luck to Germany!

[Indian]

Slovenskooo

[Private Encounter]

Slovakia will likely win. They've been so good against teams like Russia and Canada, no doubt they take this one.

[Tatanik]

Is Nagy confirmed as starting?

I'd love that trend to continue - Germany improving by three goals from one age group to the next...

I'm not holding my breath, though.

[Chara-3]

Tough game. Whoever score first has a big chance of winning.

[Zolik37]

We should win this one, but I'm expecting a close game. I hope Bokroš talked with Reway about taking dumb penalties . Still can't believe how stupidly we lost our lead against Canada in the 2nd period .

[LSnow]

Go Slovakia !!

[SlovanHC]

Come on Slovakia!

Oh right. I'd heard some rumblings that Romancik was going to get the start for this one, so was double checking.

[LSnow]

nvm..

U18s played first, so the trend I see there is a bit different

[Tatanik]

Good start for the Germans.

[Shrimper]

Slovakia's been quite good against tougher opponents, bring that same game and they should win.

[AwesomePanthers]

Stream anyone?

Cheers. Much appreciated.

[Tatanik]

Slovakia have finally woken up. Reway making some stupid plays though.

[slovakiasnextone]

This is what I was afraid of. They need to wake up and play 100% all the time...

[Tatanik]

This is the definition of not preparing for your opponent. Slovakia have had success when they get puck possession in the zone, yet they are just trying to counter attack and shoot at will.

It's the best tactic vs Canada and Russia, but they need to be more authoritative vs a team like Germany.
