Todays the first day of IIHF!!! who is excited? :smiley:

Matches today
(all in time zone UTC +1:00, in Slovakia where the championships are taking place)

16:15 Finland vs Canada
16:15 Russia vs Norway
20:15 USA vs Slovakia
20:15 Czech Republic vs Sweden

What are your thoughts? Is your team playing? Who do you think will win?

I honestly dont know if my country (Slovakia) will win against USA, I mean our team this year is good and we won a couple of times against USA, but we aint that good, we got lucky before. :smiley:
I think Russia will defo win against Norway, and I have no idea about the other two matches, all teams are strong.

Sooooo.

Hard to say, I mean it varies from year to year, but I wish more luck to my Scandinavian neighbors.

Russia all the way ^^ Hope they will make it to the finals at least since my country can’t.

As I said before USA is kinda inconsistent, I mean they lost a couple of times to Latvia xD So I will bet on Slovakia, just to support u, and will try to watch this game with u <3

I think Sweden. I would even bet on it.
