Canada vs USA & Sweden vs Finland will definitely be fun to watch( assuming nhl goes ).
Hopefully both games are on the weekend.

 

[THE JAM]

Cheers to that, Eye of Ra!

btw: in your predictions/jinx-predictions did you think that NHL-players will be there or not?

Hate being in China's group. I don't believe for one second that something won't be worked out between the Chinese olympic committee, Bettman, Hockey Canada, and USA Hockey to keep the scorelines "modest"

Watch the scorelines in both of those games be along the lines of 5-0 or 6-1 when both Canada and the US should easily stomp China by 10+

History likes to repeat itself sometimes, Let's hope that SWE-SVK is not scheduled to be the 3rd round robin game ;=

It would take an insane amount of effort for the score margin to remain that narrow when the skill difference is so enormous. What they actually might work out is that they would give China special treatment when it comes to eligibility rules so that they can put a half-decent naturalized American goalie (Jeremy Smith) in the net.

Eye of Ra, please provide also your alternative predictons - in case NHL players won't be there

thats harder. but it would remain the same for sweden, nothing will go well no matter the players with that shit coach we have

So, you predict that: Yes i think Sweden will lose all 3 games. And you admit that this is not a jinx-prediction.

Roc Nation got a pretty easy group.

Canada will beat China 20-0.

 

[Elvs]

I am happy it was Denmark, Latvia and Slovakia who advanced. That means the 11 best nations in hockey (if we pretend ROC is Russia for a while) is in the tournament. Now just fingers crossed for NHL'ers being eligiable.

 

[DeysArena]

Little-known fact - ROC is named for the Fox sitcom from the 90s.

 

[Czechboy]

That czech group is going to be very competitive... I'll assume Russia wins it but Swiss and Denmark can easily upset anyone.

^This. Minus China being there as a host this is the best possible outcome for a neutral of any of the remaining countries. Should be a great tourney if they let the players go.

Are we still playing as ROC ? Yikes

Nah, we are named after this birdy.

I'd eat my shoes if Canada ended up 3rd in that group.

 

[DieSendungmitderMaus]

As a German, I don't like the group- doesn't feel like any group stage game will be competitive (assuming NHL players are there). Would have rather swapped with Switzerland tbh

 

[Mathieukferland]

How does the seeding work for the knockout round?
