[Alberta tough]

Miracle not on ice.

So if USA can’t finish the tournament, it is pointless. They were going to win gold. Too bad, not s true gold medal for anyone

your homer glasses are shining bright here, bold claim.

And what are the chances this doesn't happen to the other teams? Very unlikely. What a mess.

This years World Juniors isn't about who can play hockey the best... it's who can isolate the best. It's borderline hide and seek.

 

[kp61c]

jesus, i hope i will be able to get my money back from my bookmaker

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

Well this is just sad, I feel awful for those kids. Hope they can resume the tournament in some way.

 

[Antiillafire]

What is the tie breaker? If Slovakia beats Swiss are the Slovaks through? Or is the Swiss through to the QF’s?

 

[Turin]

Tournament over. Joke

Mutual game first, then score afaik.

 

[Tryamw]

I think the US forecheck could make this a rough game for the Swiss.

Well the Fore Check did make this a tough game.. but for the Yanks... since they had to forfeit..

 

[tobu]

So are bookies going to pay out anyone that bet on a Swiss win? With the likelihood of this repeating to other big teams, I think I'll start betting on outsiders for every game now.

 

[DEVILS130]

And just like that the tournament loses its legitimacy

This comment still brings you the gold medal you so deserve!

 

[Czechboy]

Too late to change my vote to a Swiss victory?

 

[Stewie Griffin]

Should've brought Bordeleau anyway and iced a COVID line

Usually bookmakers have rules that say a game must be played for a certain number of minutes before they consider it official.

Yeah that would be a good rule to have.

 

[LOFIN]

Maybe you guys should go over to the COVID forums to discuss what is and what isn't stupid when it comes to how things are ran by governments and governing hockey bodies. But the rules are what they are, simple as that.

Should've just gone with a bubble like last year, considering where we are at this point. They have the framework on some archives no?

 

[Fantomas]

Why didn't they reschedule?

 

[PanniniClaus]

Just disappointing all around. Is what it is.

 

[Sportpsych90]

And slovakia gets screwed yet again

 

[Qwijibo]

Tough break for the Americans. Hopefully they can get the rest of the team cleared in time for the next game.

 

[PanniniClaus]

They can still beat the Swiss straight up and get a spot. Heck they may finish 3rd and the Swiss 4th if the USA forfeit the rest.

Is tie breaker head to head or goal differential? I always get confused.

 

[Conrad McBenis]

Very disappointing but they gotta do what they gotta do to make sure the tournament finishes. That is now in doubt, though.
