GDT: WJC 2022 Dec 23 Pre-Tournament, 4 games!

[BigRangy]

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

5 games today, so everybody is playing. There might be games tomorrow also but I haven’t seen a schedule to confirm or deny that.

All times local (mountain time, it’s 10 am right now, so the first game is in 2 hours!)

Finland vs USA at noon (TSN5)
Slovakia vs Germany at 2pm
Russia vs Canada at 5pm (TSN5)
Czechia vs Switzerland at 5pm canceled
Austria vs Sweden at 8pm

Should be some good matchups today as everyone gets ready for the ones that count on Dec 26th.

Any televised?

 

[BigBadBoar]

No games tomorrow. Each team is to play just one game today before the tournament starts. Final rosters have to be announced before December 26th, may include 22 skaters + 3 goalies.

Any televised?

Sounds like only will be the two Edmonton games. I’m not sure TSN is even set up to broadcast the red deer games, therefore, no one can watch them except in person

 

[BigBadBoar]

Any televised?

The US and Canada games, there are no streams announced for the other three, may be some there at the end through, like in some previous years. We will see.

 

[LeafChief]

Excited to see some hockey.

I would imagine they're likely set up for Red Deer for the 2 games in the main arena there since they're broadcasting games from there in 3 days. I doubt they have the broadcast team ready though. I assume the main crew went into the bubble in time to broadcast the regular pre tournament as initially scheduled, and the secondary crew only will be there in time to start on Boxing day since they weren't planning on needing a second crew for the pre tournament.

The Czechia/Swiss game for sure wouldn't have any kind of broadcast equipment since that's in a 3rd arena entirely.

 

[king89]

Do anyone know if you will be able to watch this later too or is it only live?

 

[Back in Black]

Really hope TSN steps up to the plate tonight...……………..

1-0 Finland

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Finland looks fast and the US doesn't look quite ready for the start of this one.

 

[bsu]

Can someone send me a link I'm at work.

 

[TheDoldrums]

Finlands top guys created the goal. Niemela let go a hard shot that couldn't be controlled, then the top line knocked it around the crease until it went in

 

[ddlennon]

Lmao helenius scared the delay of game out of him

 

[TheDoldrums]

8-0 shots for Finland early

 

[Amadeus]

Niemela has Leafs fans very excited for sure.

 

[jj cale]

The U.S still trying to find their feet.

 

[ddlennon]

Us looks sleepy maybe theyll wake up in the 2nd period

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Viro has been really good in this period.

 

[Antiillafire]

US looks much weaker than last year. Want to see more Knies

 

[bsu]

USA looks like they are waiting for Trevor Zegras to show up..... Yikes.

 

[jj cale]

See if this can kickstart the U.S.

 

[BigRangy]

That isn’t even a penalty imo

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Berard was kind of jumping out of the way...that's a tough one. That is a minor penalty to me.

 

[Christien]

Was that Red Savage with the hit on the Koivunen?
