Team GB have made a good start to their World Championship campaign.
Game 1 saw Croatia go 1-0 up shorthanded against the run of play before an onslaught from the Lions saw us come close but not close enough as Croatia doubled their lead with 15 minutes left to play. Cue the dramatic comeback music! Britain pulled one back on the Powerplay with 7 minutes left to go before tying it up with 5 seconds to go! Team GB then sealed the game 11 seconds into Overtime to get their promotion charge started in dramatic fashion.
Game 2 was more comfortable for GB as they deservedly went 1-0 up with 5 minutes left to play in the first period against relegation threatened Estonia. The 2nd Period saw the underdog Estonian's grow into the game more and shock Britain when they equalised with 7 minutes to go in the 2nd period. The third was relentless British pressure before we finally got the all important go ahead goal 5 minutes from time and comfortably held on for a 2-1 win.
Today is an off day before 3 very tough games, recently relegated and tournament favourites, South Korea. Promotion hopefuls Lithuania and tournament hosts, the Netherlands all to come.
