Qf game times

[snizzbone*]

Does anyone know if the times for each QF game are set? Or do the teams get to choose which timeslot they want (assuming highest seed gets choice)?

1a vs 4b
2a vs 3b
3a vs 2b
4a vs 1b

Are the games.

Presumably the Host country gets to pick the time slot they want. Ergo expect Suomi and probably Canada to be a late game...

Good question.

They've played the 6PM game the whole tournament so far, so they might choose the third game instead of the 4th.

So we would likely see based on Finland being the host nation and getting to choose their time:

Sweden vs Slovakia at 2pm <Going to assume this is locked in as Sweden's games have all been at 2pm to my knowledge.

If Finland wins tomorrow vs Czech:
USA vs Czech at 4pm
Finland vs Canada at 6pm
Russia vs Denmark at 8pm

If Czech wins toorrow vs Finland:

Russia vs Denmark at 4pm
USA vs Finland at 6pm
Canada vs Czech at 8pm

 

[Past Considerations]

Yes, I saw somewhere the 6 pm game being "designated" to FIN already before the tournament.

Finland will guaranteed get the 6 PM start at Hartwall, regardless of who they play. It's the only one that makes sense for the hosts. They aren't going to play the early one, and they certainly won't pick either of the ones at the Ice Hall as it's too small.

My guess is that Canada plays the 8 PM game at the Ice Hall if they don't play Finland.
