GoalieInTheDesertYT Posted April 30, 2022 Author Share Posted April 30, 2022 (edited) I made a highlight vid for the Israel v Croatia IIHF game that just happened the Israeli goalie faced 84 shots while the Croatian goalie faced 22 couldnt do much about the announcers though.

They got their butts kicked to the tune of 3 losses by a score difference of 16-2 against. The only game they were competitive in was against Germany. Hopefully Israel can make some progress up the leaderboard in the next few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Israel can make some progress up the leaderboard in the next few years. I’ve been told by a very trusted source that they left out some of the better defensemen this year by taking a lot more defensemen (fcking hockey politics.) Looking over the past 3 games it feels like 1)individually a good amount of them can be competitive but they aren’t playing well as a team. They barely practice together. If they even get a practice game they will absolutely fleece everyone else. So it’s hard for them to get actual competition. 2) while watching the Israel’s defensive game they just stayed inside the dots leaving a ton of space by the boards for passes. We only have 1 ice rink with European size ice and that’s all the way up north in israel. The main rinks we play/practice in are not that size. It looked like they played the wrong style of defense 3) there had no urgency/hustle. They were always second to the puck just waiting for the other team to make a move. Not getting so physical. Leaving the goalies to foot the bill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lack of practice as you mentioned and players just not playing together. A little more hustle would be nice though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoalieInTheDesertYT Posted May 20, 2022 Author Share Posted May 20, 2022 Probably Israel’s best fought game of this tournament. this concludes the adult highlights next week comes the u18 team.

Granted this is the U18 team playing in Div IIIA but still a win is a win. one of my good friends got stretchered off the ice this game. Was hard to watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
