Thanks. Don't forget to vote.

Czechs are on fire so I'll go with them. Team USA looks pretty quick from what I've seen and I think that'll give TC all kinds of problems.

 

[ORRFForever]

U.S. leading the poll.

For the Sweden / Czechia game, the results are NOT close. LOL!

 

[Boonk]

Idk how I feel about the game vs the US. They will be a much stiffer team and will make us pay on our mistakes. This has been the case time and time again over the years.

USA-Czechia final, if the USA somehow eliminates the Bedard line, Canada doesn't have many players to score. And Mbereko is no longer a starter, which will also help. The pressure and expectations are certainly not higher for the USA, so sorry Canada, there will be no gold medal.

I disagree. There are plenty of player who CAN score. They just NEED to score. We'll see Wednesday.

not suprising tbh, Czechia looked like the strongest team in the tournament so far, even stronger than Canada and USA.

At the moment I see more players on the US side who can score. But it's hockey, I don't have to be right.

That's fair. The U.S. certainly looked better, today.

We have a Sweden Vote !!!!

LOL! I'd expect nothing else.

I like the United States over Canada because outside the Bedard Line which is imo mostly Bedard himself. I don't find much to be special about the team and I think Cooley Snuggerud and Gauthier could be the next 3 best forwards in that game.

Ever since they switched off Mbereko, I think Augustine will play well enough in net.

Czechia over Sweden

 

[Mickey Marner]

I like the Czechs vs the Swedes, Bedard vs USA should be another nail biter.

 

[ORRFForever]

I like the Czechs vs the Swedes, Bedard vs USA should be another nail biter.

But who do you think will win?

 

[Leviathan899]

I like the Czechs vs the Swedes, Bedard vs USA should be another nail biter.

Bedard and Stankoven combined have more points than the USA’s top line, plus I think a lot of guys can score on this team, Ostapchuk scored a beauty tonight too. Should be a good game against the states, both amazing teams

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Czechs Gold
Canada Silver
USA Bronze

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Canada doesn't look very potent (outside of Bedard) at 5on5. So unless the refs give Canada 5+ PP opportunities, I worry about their chances of both containing US's offense AND scoring enough to win.

 

[Old Man Jags]

Fairly unimpressed with Canada outside of a certain player, given their enormously high standards, but still think they win. Tight game between Sweden a d the Czechs but I believe in a Czech win.

 

[McCullogh]

As much as I hope Sweden will win I think Czechia have to be favourites. They look sharp.
Canada will find a way to win but it will be close. Bedard (who else?) in OT?

 

[Lartsaman]

Canada-Sweden final coming with very usual result.

 

[ZEBROA]

Sweden is playing way below its best. I dont think they will step up at all. This Swedish group talk the talk but dont walk the walk. If thats a saying. Or big bark no bite.
5-1 Czechia.

 

[Ostraaros]

Swedens game last night was the first I watched this tourney the last two years and holy shit what a bunch of losers. If you are going to give 10% effort just stay at home.
Sure you can face a better team but for the love of the king and queen, atleast work hard..


Swedish hockey is not in a good place. 5-1 loss for Sweden is my bet.

 

[OskarOskarius]

Well Sweden will best the Czechs obviously. Just stop giving away goals like last time and the Czhech will be an easy win. Easier than Finland. Canada pooped their pants against Slovakia and honestly they are the weakest of the remaining teams. I think USA which isn’t very good to be honest beats Canada. So Sweden will win the tournament. It’s a bit sad it’s because of the overall low quality of opposition. I mean we are basically fielding our B team. We shouldn’t win but what of the remaining teams can realistically best us? None.
