What a fantastic game to watch, the GB guys did the country proud and never gave up, real edge of the seat stuff ......how much is Ben Bowns worth now.

Hi Ronniemac, Ben Davis. That’s the type of Brits the Flyers need if they are going to make any challenge for the league. Well done GB.

Incredible to win gold and get to play the top guys with a mainly natural British line-up. Huge achievement that deserves more recognition.

What a fantastic game to watch, the GB guys did the country proud and never gave up, real edge of the seat stuff ......how much is Ben Bowns worth now. outstanding result, the guys dug deep to win, Ben Bowns was awesome (I actually wonder if he might get a crack at a higher level) but (as an almost neutral) that was an awful (and frustrating) game to watch, Hungary faster, more skilled and hitting hard and often, GB were way off their game for 50minutes and somehow managed after going 2 down to get their act together and create pressure in the last 10 and get a couple of goals. Fantastic effort, dug deep, found a way to get the result needed. Sorry Ronnie, but for 50mins, this was men against boys |

Does that mean that GB had all their shots in the last 10 minutes as they were pretty equal on that score, I cannot agree on your take of the game I'm afraid, what I saw was a pretty even game in the first where the home nation scored on the PP then added a fluke when a puck went in off a body in front of the net, this was followed by another even period with GB then dominating the last as Hungary tried to defend the 2 goal lead, a goal by Dowd and a fluke from Farmer gave GB the point required to win GOLD.
O/T was scary for a GB fan with Bowns saving a few odd man rushes to take the game to penalty shots where the Brits held their nerve to out score the home nation for the win.
If Bowns stays in the country after those performances he will be a very costly asset.

I thought Hungary and GB evenly matched. Got lucky against Italy as we looked like we were on the PK for the whole game, even when we weren’t. Good results but some of the requests for honours on social media and the like a bit OTT, it’s the second division.
