Here are some of mine:

1. Eichel dominates the tournament (not really a surprise in all honesty)

2. Zachary Fucale steals the goaltending show for Canada

3. A European team will win the gold medal


What are some of your predictions?
 
1. USA is going to win decidedly.
2. Fucale is going to lose his starting spot to Comrie.
3. Fabbri is going to lead team Canada in points.
4. Nylander will be top 3 in points for the tourny.
 
1. Canada will win gold (yes it will be a surprise)
2. Starting goaltender for Canada will be undecided until elimination round (flip flop between Comrie & Fucale)
3. Denmark will not be in the relegation round
4. Sweden won't be in the medal rounds
5. Switzerland will be
 
Denmark makes the QF, Switzerland does as well, that leaves a surprise team in the relegation side.

Slovakia relegated.

Hockey Canada actually rolls with Comrie for most of the tournament

Rinet Valiev leads Russia in points

Nylander puts up 23 points including a game with 6 goals.

McDavid fights Eichel, they both break their hands.

Gauthier scores the gold medal winning goal, people still complain because it was his only goal if the tournament.

Finland ends up with the worst save % in the tournament despite many expecting them to have the best goaltending

Stop it :cry: :D Or I will tell Santa not to bring you any presents! :D

Regarding the suprise, I think Czechs make the semis.
 
Switzerland make the QF's

Duclair leads the tourney in goals

Fucale wins best goalie and MVP.

Swiss in the QF should be expected, since 4 of 5 teams in each pool make it. Them losing to Denmark, no matter what talent Denmark has would be a bitter disappointment.
 
1. Denmark beats Russia in the first game of the tournament

2. Neither Eichel or MacDavid are named to the all-tournament team

3. Amid mass confusion in the closing moments of a semi-final game, a player from each team will simultaneously mock the opposing team's bench, and then both those players will collide at the red line, knocking themselves out of their gold or bronze medal game.
 
Full disclosure I am Canadian.


my bold prediction.

1) HFBoards Canadian fans will remain arrogant and entitled based on a history that is now a half decade old.
2) Most Canadian fans will cheer for prospect 1st country 2nd
3) If Canada doesn't win gold there will be shock and blame will be placed on Hockey Canada
4) If Canada is fortunate enough to win the gold then the planets will align again until next december.
5) No matter what the outcome Canada will remain the best but have fresh excuses why someone screwed it up.
6) It's always Toronto's fault


:naughty:

GCG :yo:
 
Fred Gauthier scores a hat-trick against the USA New Year's Eve, and HF jumps on the bandwagon. Then, he blows it by taking a penalty in OT of the GMG to leave Canada with sliver.
 
Going a bit bold:
- Switzerland makes the semifinals
- Slovakia gets relegated

Extremely bold:
- Neither McDavid or Eichel makes the top10 in scoring
