[Gold Standard]

Woohoo. GDTs.

I'll take Canada for the W 5-2.

 

[JackSlater]

Good to have the WJC back and running, I'll guess Canada with a 4-1 win in this one.

 

[Elias40]

If Canada enters the match in the same way as against Russia, it is done in twenty minutes. I don't trust the Czechs at all, it will be a hard blow to reality.

Canada - Czechia 8:1

 

[Eye of Ra]

if they use this penalty song again....

 

[J1mLahey]

The Czechs didn’t have the benefit of a pre tournament game (unfortunately). I think it’ll be important for them to weather Canada’s storm in the first ~10m. If they’re unable to do so, we might be hearing “Hey Baby” goal song early and often.

With that said, I’m just excited to have the tournament back and praying it can run smoothly amidst all this craziness in the world!

Canada 6 Czechs 2

Canada 6 Czechs 2

6-2 Canada is quite a probable score considering how strong Canada is this year.

 

[Tube Skates]

Should be a Canada win but hoping Ivan Ivan shows well. I really like his game when he is visiting Halifax. He has some good instincts

 

[IceHockeyDude]

6-2 Canada.

 

[illone84]

5-2 win for Canada

 

[GaboriklessWild]

The North Americans always run up the score against weaker opponents in the first game...

 

[czechcanadian]

If Czechs can weather the early storm, and maybe get the first goal. It may not be too bad. But it’s highly unlikely especially having no pretourney match.
I think czechs will have a great PP1 and they have a better defense core than in years past.
Fingers crossed for a good game.

 

[Antiillafire]

Good luck to all the Czech bros. Go get one today!

 

[Mathieukferland]

Canada 2-0 Czech

As does anyone who can.

 

[Kcoyote3]

Canada 6-1

 

[Random Comment]

Canada 9-2. Game won’t be close. Czechs aren’t particularly good compared to Canada.

 

[The Blue Baron]

5-1 Canada wins in good form.
Czech not much of a chance considering lack of pre tournament game and depth

Every good team runs up the score on the weaker ones if they can. GF/GA is a tiebreaker

?? What would bizarre comment.

 

[Back in Black]

Canada will win tonight, but the Czechs will give them a run fo their money.

You're a fake news.

The tie-breaking system for two teams with the same number of points in a standing will be the game between the two teams, the winner of the game taking precedence.

 

[Silky Johnson]

You're a fake news.

You forgot something RT. It is a tiebreaker. Just not the first one.

Should three or more teams be tied on points, then a tie breaking formula will be applied as follows, creating a sub-group amongst the tied teams. This process will continue until only two or none of the teams remain tied. In the case of two tied teams remaining, the game between the two would then be the determining tie-breaker as the game could not end as a tie. In the case of none of the teams being tied, the criteria specified in the respective step applies.
Step 1: Taking into consideration the games between each of the tied teams, a sub-group is created applying the points awarded in the direct games amongst the tied teams from which the teams are then ranked accordingly.
Step 2: Should three or more teams still remain tied in points then the better goal difference in the direct games amongst the tied teams will be decisive.

 

[CanuckistanFlyerfan]

You're a fake news.

Not at all... It's why I said It's "a" tiebreaker and not it's "the" tiebreaker.

Btw op @hangman005 , did you miss the memo? It's Czechia now, instead of Czech republic.
