Slovakia towards awaited medals
The quarter-final meeting of the World Juniors between the neighbors Slovakia and Czech Republic was won 3-0 by the Slovaks.
Slovakia is in the semi-final where probably the home team Canada will be the opponent. The Czechs had won the last seven WJC meetings between the countries but this time it was Slovakias turn.
Michal Kabac made it 1-0 late in the first period - a goal that turned out to be game-winnning since Slovak goalie Denis Godla saved all 34 shots he faced. The goal was only allowed after a video review since it wasn't clear that the puck had crossed the goal-line.
"It feels really great," says Godla to IIHF.com. "I got big help from the defencemen. We believed from the beginning we were going to win."
Two late goals secured the Slovak win. Peter Cehlarik made it 2-0 at 54:18 and Martin Reway added an empty-netter in the final seconds.
After the win Slovakia is still in the battle for the medals. Last time thew got a medal was in 1999 when they won the bronze medals - in Canada (Winnipeg).
