TAMMERFORS. Canada continues to rack up its World Cup wins, now 5-1 against Slovakia.
But they got good help from two Slovak goals (!).
– You have to understand that the Slovaks have given up a bit, says Hakan Södergren, Physics expert.
Canada is one of the main contenders for gold in the World Cup and the maple leaf has started because it deserves the best. At least in terms of points. The third consecutive victory came against Slovakia.
In the middle of the period, it was goalkeeper Logan Thompson who essentially saved Canada, as the Slovaks created one opportunity after another.
Adam Lowery gave Canada the lead, the goal being videotaped of a suspicious kick but approved after it was revealed that a Slovak club was last in the puck.
Samuel Takac led the equalizer to powerplay before the break.
Halfway through the period, the Slovaks dominated but fired again with an annoying goal.
Another goal
NHL star Pierre-Luc Dupuy’s pass was intended for the Slovak club and entered goalkeeper Adam Huska.
Then Slovakia created a fierce pressure against the Canadian goal, but Logan Thompson saved it brilliantly.
Instead, Canada went up and again it was Dubois who hit, this time also the last time he rolled her lying down.
– Neat to his knees between the goalkeeper’s legs, says fiat expert Matthias Norström, who has praised Slovakia.
Slovakia is the best team, but it is important that they are effective and score goals and that is what Canada did.
The difficult middle period left its mark. Early in the third period, talent sent Cole Selinger 4-1 on her 19th birthday.
Another loss for Norway
In the second match in the afternoon, Latvia defeated Norway 3-1.
Latvia started the World Cup with two consecutive losses, first against the United States and then against Finland. But against Norway came a long-awaited victory.
Team captain Rodrigo Apolles, who also has a C on his chest in Örebro, gave his team the lead in the first half. Mats Rosselli Olsen, striker for Frolunda, equalized at the end of the period, well played by Ludwig Hof and Daniel Roxeth.
But in the middle of the period, Latvia snatched the lead with two goals.
Norway reduced in the third game and won the shots 19-4 in an attempt to equalize, but Latvia fell behind.
