France (1st team win) - Germany

World Champion, Czech Republic... strong teams, there are no "unknowns" left, Slovaks cannot score points easily because the French are a tough, competitive team. However, despite Slovakia's strong start in the championship competition, victory smiled upon their opponent. The team demonstrated fast and technical gameplay.

Well, here you won't achieve much, the Slovaks are playing attacking ice hockey, of course thanks to Canada C. Ramsey. It's beautiful to watch such ice, but often defense suffers because of it. The French know how to attack, but they can also defend. Ice hockey is growing in the country, I would say, since many "over teams" earn their bread abroad, of course there are still quite a few players in the national league but not as many as before. There are teams that score a lot of goals, but today against the Slovaks there will definitely be opportunities and it will depend on how well they can capitalize on them. However, they have Bellemare, who plays in the NHL, as well as Peru and Claireaux, who play for the Czech Republic.

Slovak forward J. Slafkovsky scored a goal in the match. He plays as a first-line forward and spends a lot of time on the ice, as he often plays during power plays. On average, he makes 4.5 shots on goal. However, so far he only has 4 assists, so I think it's time for him to score a goal as well.
