If they get fourth there is no reason to overly fear them either
Germany can even win the groupGermany can still end 2nd or 3rd.
Canada can still end 2nd, 3rd or 4th.
Denmark can still end 3rd, 4th, or 5th
Slovakia can still end 4th or 5th.
Yeah I too fear that we'll struggle against Denmark's defense.I dare not take anything for granted. But seeing the way Denmark defends, I have no idea how we are gonna beat them. Our offense sucks even against much weaker defense.
Ah right! Editing.Germany can even win the group
Just noticed. I had tv muted when they mentioned the France game. I hope we come out and play our best, and pray for Canada successNope. We need to win by 3 to make sure it's in our hands. If we win by less than 3 (in regulation), Canada will have to take at least a point against France.
Still, you would imagine they were able to beat a Danish team consisting of players from various European leagues, including the Danish which is like 3rd or 4th grade in Europe.It's been tough to cheer for the men's Canadian teams over the past few years, not only due to no NHLers at Olympics, but also these C to D-tier international rosters.
What’s worse is that we can’t rely on a powerplay. It’s terrible. I too am worried about our goal scoring. Could need a very good performance from Huska or Rybar.Yeah I too fear that we'll struggle against Denmark's defense.
Ah right! Editing.
Team Canada got what they deserved. Selfish stupid hockey game from them.
Danes played great.
Sucks that we have the early game and can’t adjust to results.You just know they will step up as usual. Kanada in Round Robin isn’t the same Kanada as in the playoff.
Its very unlikely Canada will be 4th. If Canada beat France on regulation and Germany takes even one point from Switzerland and Denmark beats Slovakia in regulation, then Canada is 4th.You just know they will step up as usual. Kanada in Round Robin isn’t the same Kanada as in the playoff.
Holy smoke, I am starting to think that you have some paranormal powers!!!!!!Hey that’s good for me! Could really use a Canada win here![]()
They will have to win against Switzerland by 6 goals.Germany can even win the group
Its very unlikely Canada will be 4th. If Canada beat France on regulation and Germany takes even one point from Switzerland and Denmark beats Slovakia in regulation, then Canada is 4th.
I expect the group will be:
Switzerland
Canada
Germany
Denmark
I can't see Slovakia beating the defence of Denmark.
Is there something that I am missing? By the rules, if Germany beats us tomorrow, they‘re first in the group.They will have to win against Switzerland by 6 goals.
No, they simply need to win by a hair in regulation.They will have to win against Switzerland by 6 goals.
a copy paste from the iihf rules :Is there something that I am missing? By the rules, if Germany beats us tomorrow, they‘re first in the group.
“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.“
You are very wrong about the VikingsDanish are out of gas, seem like Slovakia is the favourite.
and I don't see Germany will win againts Swiss.
But the rule I quoted comes from the official webpage of THESE world championships. I think that supersedes what you quoted. Look (under „tie breaking formula“):a copy paste from the iihf rules :
In the semi-finals the best-ranked team - criteria: 1) placement in the group, 2) points in the preliminary round, 3) goal difference in the preliminary round, 4) goals scored in the preliminary round, 5) seeding coming into the tournament - will play against the lowest-ranked semi-finalist. The 2nd-best ranked semi-finalist will play the 3rd-best ranked semi-finalist. Both semi-final games will be played in Tampere. The host if qualified, or otherwise the best-ranked semi-finalist according to beforementioned criteria, shall play the early game. The time slots will officially be determined after the quarter-final games.
Dude, that's in the semi-finalsa copy paste from the iihf rules :
