USA losing to Russia was pretty upsetting for me.

Thought Germany might be better but 2-16 indicates otherwise

When they get back the third of their team in quarantine, they will improve.

From the looks of it Finland is in trouble unless they beat Canada

True, but it might be too late to move up the standings

Why? They have their two most meaningful games left.

I don't think many expected them to get points out of Finland/Canada games

Why?

 

[Albatros]

Why?

Presumably they'll get to play Russia/Sweden/USA and at this point would be huge underdogs.

Aren't they always? Yet somehow find themselves in the medal round every single year.

Yup. Never underestimate Finland.

Canada’s gonna take the A division with Finland as 2nd, can’t say about the other one. Perhaps Sweden and Russia as 2nd.

Not sure if I missed this, or if this is the right place, but since there is no relegation this year, will the groups be restructured next year based off this year's performance, or will they stay the same?

Has to be the former, no?

Also, until Sweden loses in groups they're favorites to win their group. They've won with worse teams.

I would assume as much, but special circumstances, I don't know if they made any other changes.

Exactly, their tournament starts soon... Swiss and Slovakia... zero reason they can't finish third in pool.

 

[Statsy]

Looks like we might have to move Slovakia up the rankings. They are looking dynamite against Canada.

Because the Czechs lost to Sweden by 6, I still think they will finish 4th but I now think Sweden will be top dog in B...

Sweden still has both games against USA and Russia....they win both the group is theirs. Russia has Austria and Sweden left and the States Czechs and Swedes. Basically whichever of the 3 teams wins out the next two games gets 1st place. Well actually in saying that the Czechs are in the same scenario in that a win over the States and a Sweden lose along the way could see them finish 1st.

Forgive me BC, but can you be more clear?
I'm a dummy and I don't understand.

Each team in the group have 2 games remaining after tomorrow and presumably a Swedish win over Austria leaving them in first with 6 points. If they win out they get first but if they lose to either Russia or the USA in their remaining games then the team that beats them would hold the head to head tie breaker. The Czechs have a pretty remote chance at first that includes pulling off another big upset of their own in beating the Americans and needing help from Russia or the Americans in beating the Swedes as Sweden would definitely have the tie breaker over them.

 

[ORRFForever]

Suppose Sweden wins both their remaining games, the U.S. beats the Czechs and everyone beats Austria...

Sweden 12

USA 6
Russia 6
Czechs 6

Austria 0

The U.S. needs to "run up" the score (win by more than 2) against the Czechs.

The Czechs, on the other hand, want to either beat the Americans or lose by 1.
