Forfeited? Or will it game

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Lets play!

 

[Slimmy]

Lets play!

We'll see..

 

[Gold Standard]

Should be the game of the day.

I'll take the Americans for the W. but one of those hockey classic 6-5 thrillers.

 

[Tomas W]

Sweden win 1 - 0. EZ PZ

 

[Buck Naked]

Fingers crossed!

 

[Chara-3]

Sweden 1-0, another Wallstedt shutout.

Is there any risk of Lööf getting suspended? Sourdif was suspended on the day of Canada’s match against Austria so perhaps the news will come sometime during the day?

And what happens if USA forfeit again? Does the match still count against the suspension or does it simply carry over to the next match?

A few rumors on Twitter goes like this:
"Word on the street is that the two positive tests are both goalies."
If so, situation is bad for Team USA with 10 days quarantine rules...

I'll be surprised if this game is happening, but we will find out before the 1st game is played I am sure. If it's the 2 goalies positive, how will they play...

But if they play it's Sweden for me.

As I understand it the match has to be played otherwise it is carried over to the next game, thats the rule in football/soccer I think.

Sweden 1-0, another Wallstedt shutout.

Even without playing?

Bob McKenzie said goalie+forward.

 

[Phil McKraken]

My bet is 3-2 for the US, but I don't think the game will happen.

 

[Czechboy]

Please happen. This is another must see game.

 

[IceHockeyDude]

I'd like to see it but odds are not great
a) The game starts at 4:30 in the morning
b) The game may not start at all

I have an extremely low regard for Twitter.

People on there usually get the story wrong, no matter what it is.

 

[Stewie Griffin]

I seriously doubt this is played. If it is 2 goalies that tested positive for the US, how do they even move forward?

 

[Eye of Ra]

sweden was crushed by slovakia playing-wise, why would we have a chance against usa? 4-1 to usa

 

[Janvonpobben]

Please happen. This is another must see game.

Werent you just advocading for safety because of the virus? Us players might infect swedish ones.

Whats wrong with your doublestandard.

 

[The Blue Baron]

This game doesn’t happen I agree the tournament is bagged!

IIHF must make an exception to let the Americans bring in another negative test NCAA goalie.

This game MUST happen!

its not Bob McKenzie reported a fwd and a goalie. Bob wouldn’t report that unless he knew for sure.

I didn't say to play it unsafely or break rules. I said I hope it happens because it is 2 awesome teams.

 

[jj cale]

I didn't get to watch that last Sweden game but from what I have heard they didn't play very well despite winning 3-0.

Still, I like them to win today, I think they will have some things straightened out after that game and take this one.

That is, if the game happens.
