.overseas trouble

.oh man, oh man! I've not seen Slovak hockey in such a deep trouble for a long time... Two losses in two days. It's true, that against tougher teams (Canada 4:5 and the USA 2:4), but the problem is our inability to play anything at least similar to ice hockey... Lack of speed, lack of coordination, unwillingness to fight for puck, really bad penalty killing and pathetic penalty killing with a bonus of not very good performance of both goalkeepers in our team... I could continue like this, but is it needed?

These results make our position and chances to get to the quarter-finals a lot more complicated. I lack the team spirit in this squad. There are only few players, who are doing their best (for example Uram, he almost didn't make it into final roster, yet now is the most valuable player...). Superstar trio from the first line is playing absolutely nothing, 'nada', 'nichts' :(... We'll hope their time will still come. Maybe on Saturday, when we are facing Czech Republic, our big rival (moreover we have some 'weakness syndrome' when playing against them, resulting in very few good results over past few years)... If not them, we'll have to beat Belarus to even get into play-off phase. Otherwise we'll witness the worst final placement in last 11 years :(...
