WJC: predictions (will be held in the summer)

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

Well so far Finland. USA, Czechia have impressed. Not really impressed by Canada against the latvians, lots of help from the refs for the canadian boys.

Regarding Sweden, just look how awful we where against the Swiss, we are not beating Germany and USA.

If Latvia finishes 4th over us we need to clean cabinet and fire anyone who works with the U20 program

Sorry mate - your team was gutted this year. Not the fault of anyone except those who didn’t attend.

It was Slovakia’s B team and it showed. However, you can’t throw the baby out with the bathwater. The Slovakian program is making huge strides and the real irony of this is that just fell victim to their own success; their players are so highly coveted by the NHL that it just cost them several key players.

In what world is Sweden better than Germany? In the land with fairytales, goblins and unicorns?

My point still stands, fire everyone. Terrible coaching and selection this tournament

You made the call earlier than anyone else that Sweden was meh. Things can always change, of course, but...

Well done.

Sweden is better than Latvia. Your posting was funny at first, but now when you say thinga like how Austria is better than Sweden.. its kinda irtitating since you and me both know its not true. Same with Germany.

Canada, Finland and Latvia should win. USA - Czechs is 50-50

The U.S. owns Czechia. It might be close but the U.S. will win. Having said that, I would love an upset in any game but Canada-Swiss.

Czechia looked great against Canada and Finland.

 

[ORRFForever]

Czechia looked great against Canada and Finland.

I'd love an upset so I hope you are right.

 

[Statsy]

Czechia looked great against Canada and Finland.

Czechia gave up nearly 60 shots to Canada. Only the goaltending kept that one from getting ridiculous. I think the US is far too deep for the Czechs and this should be a routine victory.

This will not be the year of the upset in the QF.

My bold prediction... The QF will suck. 4 blowouts incoming

Welcome to international hockey!

CAN VS USA final. Fin vs SWE for bronze.

You guys need to generate some quality shots, that U.S goalie is so ripe to be plucked. Then dig in defensively as best you can balls out and hope you can keep their scoring to no more then 3 goals.

You never know what can happen with what looks to be really, really shaky U.S goaltending,I mean the guy couldn't even handle the puck behind the net last game, if Sweden had only been able to get at least some decent shots on him fairly consistently, as it was they only won 3-2.Make sure to take advantage because this opportunity doesn't present itself with the U.S very often.

Good luck.

Unfortunately, you are probably right.

CAN VS USA final. Fin vs SWE for bronze.

That's my guess as well.

The clown thought..

I really liked how Germany played vs Sweden to end the preliminary round. Though I don’t think they’ll beat Finland, I think Germany will actually be a tough out and keep this one close.

You called it correctly.

 

[ORRFForever]

Watch the Latvians outplay the Swedes but lose because the Swedes can score but the Latvians can't.

So much for four blowouts. It’s been surprisingly competitive today.

5-2 and 6-3?

5-2 and 6-3?

They were far closer games then those scores indicate.
