If you bothered to even read the post you would know that it has absolutely nothing to do with Russia, I just think it would be kinda cool to see a top team relegated. I think that the botom part of group B has the potential to pull a few upsets so it's more likely there than group a. I'm a Leafs fan so I want Nylander to succeed, and the Czechs don't normally do well so it's be nice if they succeeded as well, that leaves Russia. If Russia and USA were switched I would have put USA being relegated in that post.

I'm sure you'd be understandably upset if someone posted a prediction where Canada was relegated.
USA has so much talent this year, its gotta to be them
USA
Canada
Sweden
Finland
Russia
Czech
Slovakia
17 and 18 year olds weren't going to cut it for USA. Relied on 2015 and a 2016 draft eligible players for scoring which didn't work, Eichel, Matthews, Hanifin, Werenski who are very young won't cut it. You need 19 year olds, can't believe they would cut Erne and Cassels. In practice of course the young players would look good but in a game you need the consistent play from 19 year olds or maybe the '95 group for the Americans is just weak.This thread predictions:
CAN 18-12-8
USA 20-13-9
SWE 4-11-7
FIN 2-4-8
RUS 1-5-8
CZE 0-0-5

Maybe next year, but I knew USA wasn't going to win gold with such a young squad. I don't think that has ever happened.
Well now that the USA has been eliminated i'll take a stab.
Canada
Sweden
Czech Republic
you truly don't like Russians, do you?
As I said USA is OVERRATED every damn year.
In every tournament there are North Americans who act as they are superior all other teams.
I'm so happy that USA is out.
