Agree 100% on the Swiss, good example.
Korea did not relegate Italy, or am I missing something (very possible)? Italy was relegated automatically, same as thd last 10 years or so, and korea was promoted automatically.
By the way, you think Korea is a punching bag this year? Wait until you see the UK in the IIHF WHC next year.
Edit: there is a problem this year though, or at least until today when the Danes beat Finland
Sorry Finland fans, you know I love you, and just a couple of years ago my Fin friends beat me up over Swe loss vs Norway in the WHC...
