If NZ beat Mexico and then australia beat serbia (doesn’t really matter how much), goal difference between the three games between Belgium, Serbia, and NZ will determine who gets 2/3/4.
If two or three of them remain tied, then the team with the greatest number of goals in the games between those three teams will determine the winner.
For goal difference between NZ, serbia, Belgium (all three games are completed):
Belgium: -4.
Serbia: +1
NZ: +3NZ is guaranteed silver if they beat Mexico and Australia beat Serbia (in ordinary time).
So cheer for NZ, and then cheer for Aussie.
BREAKING SYSTEM FOR IIHF CHAMPIONSHIPS
The tie-breaking system for two teams with the same number of points in a standing will be the
game between the two teams, the winner of the game taking precedence.
Due to the fact that the three-point system does not allow a game to end in a tie, then the following tie breaking procedure is applicable when three or more teams are tied in points in a Championship standing.
Should three or more teams be tied, then a tie breaking formula will be applied as follows, creating a sub-group amongst the tied teams:
Step 1:
Taking into consideration the games between each of the tied teams, a sub-group is created applying the points awarded in the direct games amongst the tied teams from which the teams
are then ranked accordingly.
Step 2:
Should the teams still remain tied then the better goal difference in the direct games amongst the tied teams will be decisive.
Step 3:
Should the teams still remain tied then the highest number of goals scored by these teams in their direct games will be decisive
Step 4:
Should three or more teams still remain tied then the results between each of the three teams and the closest best-ranked team outside the sub-group will be applied. In this case the tied team with the best result (1. points, 2. goal difference, 3. more goals scored) against the closest best ranked-team will take precedence
Step 5:
Should the teams still remain tied, then the results between each of the three teams and the next highest best-ranked team outside the sub-group will be applied. This process will continue until only two teams remain tied. The game between the two remaining tied teams would then be the determining tie-breaker as the game between these two teams could not end as a tie.
Step 6:
Should the teams still remain tied after these five steps have been exercised then Sport considerations will be applied and the teams will be ranked by their positions coming into the Championship.Goaltending was the interesting question. Nothling got Ice Blacks player of the game against Serbia, so it’s not like he had a bad game, the Ice Blacks didn’t play the first period.

Belgian defense doesn’t look like it was up to much in a couple of those goals. Nice screen from NZ on a point shot too.
Slapshot has posted videos of the goals against Belgium:
Ice Blacks vs Serbia was on Crowd Goes Wild last night. Footage looked OK – well done slapshot productions. Commentary from the CGW guys was… pretty crap.
Looked like a pretty good game vs Belgium. Parry stops 32 shots for the shutout.

[/quote:2iv04rw6]I don’t know if we’ve ever played in Div 4. It wasn’t around for most of the last decade – Div 3 was the bottom division two years ago when it was played in Dunedin.

Ice blacks down 3-1 through three equal strength goals early against Serbia. Nothling in net.
