Why Russia does not play at the Ice Hockey World Cup, who replaced Russia at the Ice Hockey World Cup, a gorgeous goal of the French team at the Ice Hockey World Cup, France – Slovakia – video – 13 May 2022
The 2022 Ice Hockey World Championship will not take place in isolation from the strength of the Russian national ice hockey team. Our team was suspended from capturing the world championship in March, the reason for all those carefully selected was a military special operation in Ukraine. As a result, instead of the top sign Russia – Slovakia in one of the two opening matches of the tournament, the audience got a very modest spectacle – the Slovaks were rivaled by our French who replaced them.
However, already in the first team of France, she made it clear that the game intends to use the unexpected chance to play at the tournament in Finland to the fullest. In the game with Slovakia, she bounced back with a score of 0: 2 and until the last minute of the reserve of time to save the intrigue – until Pavol Regenda scored into an empty net, the favorite was only one bushai ahead.
The most beautiful goal of the French deserves special attention. In the middle of the second period, the puck was behind their gates, but after 8 seconds it was at the gates of the Slovaks. A pass under the red line, a spectacular touch-up with a stick inserted between the legs and a top finish from Jordanne Perret. A real masterpiece!
You remember how the Russian team tortured goals at the 2022 Olympics, and vague doubts that ours could do something like at the World Cup, and even in a meeting with cruel Slovakia.
However, not even a super goal saves France from predictable impact. Regenda, who set a free score 4:2, also became the author of the first goal in this game.
And the MVP of the 2022 Olympics, 18-year-old Juraj Słafkowski, was marked by an assistant double – including a point for performance in an episode with a goal from 31-year-old Slovak captain Tomas Tatar.
