I can't be the only one watching this, can I? I didn't notice a thread for it already.

The USA vs. Japan game is on NHL Network.

correct. and I'm not at home so other than watching on my sat app on my phone (which in theory eats up data) I have no options to watch while at work unless I want to do a free trial of Sling or Fubo and for most people, that's not allowed if they're in the office.
doesn't mean that I'm NOT watching, of course.

When are Canada and the USA set to play in the final?

The final is scheduled for September 4 at 19:30 UTC+2:00 (1:30 p.m. eastern). It's not a guarantee that it's going to be USA vs. Canada, though, so let's not get ahead of ourselves here.

It's quite likely, but Finland did win gold a few years ago. Sweden won silver at the Olympics in 2006. Upsets do happen.

I'll watch some of Canada-Finland later. That's a quality game for the first day.

Finland won the silver as they had a goal called back in OT and the US eventually won the game in a shootout. The Fins almost pulled off the miracle of beating Canada and the US back to back.

Ah. My mistake then, sorry.

 

[red devil]

Ah. My mistake then, sorry.

Not a big deal, I had to check because I remember watching the game and goal being called back.

The US streak of 5 straight World Championship golds ended last year so they should be fairly motivated to win this years tournament.

 

[Summer Rose]

USA wins 10-0. On one hand, I'm happy that we won. On the other hand, I feel sorry for Japan, and uncompetitive games are bad for the sport. Oh well...

How are Canada, USA, Finland & Switzerland all in the same group for round robin play? These were the top 4 teams last year, shouldn't they be split between the two groups?

They have to do it that way to lessen the possibility of Canada and the US curbstomping everyone else. (even though that still happens).

Someone can correct me if I am wrong but I believe they essentially put the top 5 nations in group A and the bottom 5 in group B. Try to keep the blowout games to a minimum. All 5 teams in group A qualify for the Quarters regardless of how they do and then the top 3 teams in group B.

Thank you for the answers.

 

[JackSlater]

The Canada-Finland game is pretty competitive half way through.

 

[HabSgt]

4-1 Canada over Finland. Finns have been leveling up their women's hockey just like their men's.

 

[Lartsaman]

Canada and Usa will play at the gold medal game and Finland gets bronze. Nothing really changes at this tournament so I´ll skip.

Yeah, but which team gets Gold actually matters and the two countries have taken turns, each dominating for a decade. I'm hoping it's Canada's turn to dominate again with this latest generation. So far so good, but it's early. We're also down some key pieces at this tournament so it won't be easy.

I was just looking this up. Thought it was messed up at first, then when I saw the playoffs it really makes sense. Gives the lower end teams a chance to actually get a W and not consistently blown out

 

[sonic92]

Are they having fog issues in the arena for the Japan-Switzerland game?

 

[Czechboy]

Are their legal streams for Pool B? TSN seems to only have Pool A

Haven't been there in a few years - wonder if ringette is still a big sport in Finland. There were girls who were good skaters and very skilled playing that sport versus hockey a decade ago.
