Whoever is in charge of playing the victory anthems at the IIHF World Hockey Championship was a little Slo at the draw after Slovakia's 3-2 win over Italy on Saturday.
Instead of playing Slovakia's anthem, "Nad Tatrou Sa Blyska," Slovenia's anthem, "Zdravljica," was blared throughout the arena.
The Slovakian players were obviously confused, but luckily their fans were there to drown out the anthem with cheers.
The staff member in question at Lanxess Arena in Cologne, Germany, will get a chance at redemption (if they still have their job) if Slovakia can pull off a win Tuesday against Denmark.
