WC: 2018 - Team Korea

Team Korea, one of the weaker participants in the tournament needed a thread as well, and here it comes.

Couldn't find any readable roster news about the team online, which is why I attached their olympic roster as a point of reference.

The exact same roster as they had in the Olympics. Not a single change.

 

[Bookker]

That's logical, they have absolutely no depth.
Lucky to have all their players available and no injuries.

It will be very tough for them even to battle for one single victory.
That being said I hope they will be proud of their tournament at the end

There are few changes in line-up from the Olympic Games, particularly American-born Mike Testwuide will not be there.

He was listed in the image posted in this thread. What has happened, is he injured?

Superficially it is due to injury but he seems to be too busy with having fun with his mates back in Colorado when I saw some of those pics on his Instagram.

I had a very skeptical opinion on Team Korea before the Olympics, but with all the North American additions throughout the last few years they've proved themselves to be a half-decent, competitive team worthy of the Elite tier.

Considering Norway, Latvia and Germany are sending decimated rosters, I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if they actually managed to stay up. I mean, it's not likely, but it's certainly possible.

Latvia and Germany are certainly weaker compared to last year but not decimated at all. South Korea would have to win the game against Norway.

Although they might well miss the qf's, Germany will settle any doubts and beat both Latvia and Norway in the preliminary round. We're strong enough.

 

[Loffer]

Take out all the Kims and Lees and it will a stroll in the Parks... eh eh. Team Korea must spoon their ramen and kimchi many many times before they can survive in this shark tank.

The probability of that happening is about 35%. So not very likely.

 

[sytheman]

Being realistic of our chances in this competition, I really want our players to take very serious note of experience they will gain throughout the tournament. It will play pivotal role in developing the game in Korea.

 

[Bookker]

I love South Korea and I will be cheering for them for sure

But trully it will be a very good performance if they just manage to keep one or two close games... Germany is way too high I don't believe it at all. For Norway and Latvia they may have very little chances but it will be so tough.

For those who speak about staying in the top division, don't dream too much

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

So, how did the training camp at Dallas go? Did the Korean players learn more about how to play in the NHL?

Those who say Oilers can't draft in the later rounds and develop world class Olympic hockey players are wrong - see Alex Plante, Bryan Young, Brock Radunske
