Let's start the topic with good news:

Well, it is better to continue here, at least CTG won't close this topic at the end of the year (which is a very surprising habit of him since he is the one who comments on 10 years old posts), and it will be possible to discuss the sports events of this year later as well.

Miskolci Jegesmedvék finished 3rd in the regular season of MOL League.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand yes, we've done it! Hungary is among the best 16 U18 teams in the world! Hungary-Japan 8-4 and we are promoted!!!

Btw the NHL playoffs have already started, in the first match day, the Penguins won (vs. Columbus, 4-3), while the Flyers (Cryers) will play their first game soon against the Rangers.

Ice hockey, division-1/a world championships

Hungary
vs. South Korea 8-4
vs. Ukraine 0-3 (awful match)
vs. Slovenia 0-2
vs. Austria 4-5 after overtime (we could have won)
vs. Japan 5-4 after shootout (it could have been easier)

With a very young team, it is an acceptable result. It's a pity that due to the short preparation period, some players remained in the squad even if they were not in good shape, and the good lines were only found during the tournament (in the 2nd period of the Slovenia match).

1 Slovenia 12 (15-6) - promoted
2 Austria 10 (20-14) - promoted
3 Japan 10 (14-14)
4 Ukraine 7 (18-13)
5 Hungary 6 (16-18)
6 South Korea 0 (12-30) - relegated

In the NHL playoffs, the Penguins are leading against the Blue Jackets 3-2 in the series, while the Criers are trailing 3-2 against the Rangers.

Penguins are in next round with an away victory last night! :-)

Penguins out...

Switzerland failed to reach QFs in IIHF world champs...

Switzerland failed to reach QFs in IIHF world champs...

Sad but true: the mighty Slovaks are also out. I still can't understand how could we lose the last 10 minutes(!) 0-4 against France (final result: 3-5). Not counting these 10 minutes, our performance was acceptable, and anything could have happened in the playoff round...

Forever Slovakia!

Switzerland ended 10th, Norway 12th - two teams I like, but finished lower than they world ranking.

But can Sweden forget the Salt Lake City match against Belarus? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFQnIFN1pYo Today, it's Sweden vs. Belarus again, quarterfinals again.

My bets for today: Canada, Russia, USA and... erm... dunno... Sweden or Belarus...

Excellent handball results for Hungary!

A few weeks ago:
Slovenia-Hungary 32-26 (plus 3 for Slovenia on aggregate), Hungarian team failed to qualify for the World Championships next year...

Women, juniors, world championships:
Hungary-Portugal 21-20... awful...

Cavendish abandoned this year's Tour de France! It's a pity, no piss will be thrown at him again... at least not this year...
