It was never going to be easy,... but the
South Korean men's ice hockey team went into
their playoff qualification game on Tuesday
night,... hoping to keep their medal hopes
alive.
Taking on world number-four Finland at the
Gangneung Hockey Centre,...
South Korea battled back from a 3-0 deficit,...
but fell short... eventually losing 5-2 and
watching their last shot at the quarterfinals
slip away.
South Korea, ranked 21st in the world,...
lost all three of their previous matches.
They managed just three goals and gave away
19 in the process.
