You forgot something RT. It is a tiebreaker. Just not the first one.

Should three or more teams be tied on points, then a tie breaking formula will be applied as follows, creating a sub-group amongst the tied teams. This process will continue until only two or none of the teams remain tied. In the case of two tied teams remaining, the game between the two would then be the determining tie-breaker as the game could not end as a tie. In the case of none of the teams being tied, the criteria specified in the respective step applies.
Step 1: Taking into consideration the games between each of the tied teams, a sub-group is created applying the points awarded in the direct games amongst the tied teams from which the teams are then ranked accordingly.
Step 2: Should three or more teams still remain tied in points then the better goal difference in the direct games amongst the tied teams will be decisive.

Do you understand what you have copy/pasted here? It is completely irrelevant how many goals they score against weak teams.

Not to mention that it is highly unlikely that three or more teams will finish with the same points.

Not at all... It's why I said It's "a" tiebreaker and not it's "the" tiebreaker.

Just give up, dude.
 
6-2 Canada, as I appear to parrot others on this thread with my score prediction.
Is it safe to assume no news is good news re: stupid covid testing?

So you are saying that Czech Republic has a 0% chance of being in a three way tie with Canada? It not super likely but certainly not out of the realm of reasonable possibility.

Also, can you make an official decision on who are the "weaker" teams so Hockey Canada can brief the players and coaching staff?

In a three-point system, the chances are clearly less than 1%.

Dude! Canada are the biggest favourites for the gold. Czehia is ranked sixth or seventh.

People who whine when teams run up the score in a tournament like this a weird. It is a highly competitive tournament not a bunch of 10 year old playing for a AA tournament. They will all be just fine.

I must agree. It is up to the Czech team to not allow Canada to slaughter them. This is a competition, of course everybody wants to score goals, that's what the game is about. I am 100 % sure the Czech guys want to face Canada in the top shape and try to surprise them. Every hockey player likes challenges.

Im going to say 5-2 Canada, a tight game until the third period, then TC opens the machine and gets control of the game. CZE has a really good D core this year and solid goaltending.

For those who dont know much about Jiricek, watch that young phenome closely, I have him ranked 1st OV on my next draft list.

Jiricek is the best junior defenseman Czechia has had in maybe like 15 years.

lets go canada! 5-1 win.. best of luck to czechs though always some of the most polite fans on here :)
 
Going in cold against Canada is a hell of an ask. If we had a warmup match I figured we'd lost 5-1. Now it'll be 7-1.lol

I'm happy it's Canada first. Get this annual slaughter out of the way.

Czechs do have a decent crew and I think could be competitive but a lot of things will have to go right for that to happen. Good luck to both Czech goalies - I expect to see you both.

Please no injuries to Svozil, Jiricek, Kulich, Gut, Mysak and Brabenec!

Czechia has some quality players but not quite sure how they'll play as a team without any pre tournament results to try to get a feel for. Canada looked great against Russia at time. Lets say 6-2 Canada here.

Fingers crossed!

I have low expectations for this one. I can't wait to see how our D look against one of the best. Curious how Kulich looks. I'm a Brabenec fan as well as all the obvious guy. I've also never seen Ivan play.. looking forward to that. Oh... And Spacek as well. Lots to look forward to... Outside the expected outcome of course.
