NOBODY HERE AT TheScore.ie plays ice hockey, so it’s easy to point fingers.
But we’re pretty confident that even we would have managed to score the sitter which Craig Smith of the Nashville Predators missed last night.
I mean, Smith could have walked the puck over the line and into the Toronto Maple Leafs’ empty net and nobody would have batted an eyelid.
But instead, he decided to finish with a flourish and ended up with a miss that almost seems to defy the laws of physics.
The Preds went on to win 4-1 anyway, but something tells me his team-mates won’t be quick to let him forget this.
thank god for that
Estonia please, i wouldnt fancy getting the others
Does this mean that UEFA count us as ‘heavy hitters’? ;) Seriously though, this is great news, I wouldn’t fancy having to play any of those teams with they way we’re playing at the moment.
Wouldn’t write out Estonia though William. They beat N. Ireland 4-1 a few weeks ago. They’d only love to do the same to the South, I’m sure!
Ah yes, the formidable Northern Ireland. One of the top teams in Europe to be sure! ;)
Fingers crossed we can dodge Turkey. We should be able to handle the rest.
Though, we should also be able to put more than 2 past Andorra and not rely on the referee to beat Armenia…
That was the jammyiest game we ever won!
