EDF. France bows for its last preparation match

For its latest preparation match at the World Cup of Stockholm, France bowed 8-1 against Slovakia.

The Slovakes will dominate and will only wait two minutes before opening the scoring. Michal Kristof will win a powerful shoot to deceive Quentin Papillon, helpless. Despite this conceded goal, the French react and get many opportunities, without finishing. Slovakia continues his assaults but our porter, Quentin Papillon, remains vigilant. By recovering the Puck in their camp, the Blues embark on a two-contained one where Nicolas Ritz will eventually serve Fabien Colotti, who will only have to equalize. The two teams will go back to blow until the end of the first third.

France begins its second period inferiority. Quentin Papillon is forced to take out the big game and chain stops to keep the scoring for a goal everywhere. At the 23rd minute, the Slovaques will go back to the front since by taking up a rebound in front of our porter, Adam Sykora will mark. Slovakia will even break a minute later. The Blues can no longer happen in this second period and will very quickly collect a fourth and then a fifth goal. Nothing will go in the direction of our Blues in this second third, they will come up against the opposing goalkeeper several times before collecting a sixth Slovak goal.

In the third third, Slovakia will start like her match, she will mark very quickly and will put six lengths ahead of our French. In the rest of the third party, the Blues will try to mark but Slovakia will resist. The Slovak people will record an eighth goal. The Blues bow 8-1 against the 9th nation in the IIHF ranking. Large things will start next Saturday for our Blues with the world’s first game against Latvia.
