and so are you.

Thanks, humanity
Finland has rarely won against Canada on any level as comprehensively and convinxingly as just in the pretournament game. Whether that moves on at all to the real tournament will be seen and this might help Canada a lot more in the end.

Can they just institute a 6 team World Junior* format already? I mean I get having more games and giving everyone a chance but what's the point?




* Also Olympics and World Championships.


Large disagreement. The tournaments are in some ways too big, but almost every year has seen surprising results in all the levels you mentioned. Like how germany beat sweden 2018 olympics, and switzerland beat finland in wc 2018.

Also six is far too low, assuming the obvious teams it would exclude switzerland and slovakia, and there has to be room for a few teams move up and down the ranks. 10 or 12 minimum. I do agree 16 in whc is too much.
