So for those who know the teams in Round 3 far better then i do.  What are your thoughts on the groups ?  Who are the real contenders to advance in your opinion ?

It is still too early to make guesses, All will depend on the actual rosters, current form of the important players, eventual injuries etc...

 

If the tournaments were played next weekend I would say in

 

Group G.

 

:HUN Should be the favorite on home ice, but must stay focused in its games against Lithuania and Japan, especially the one against :JPN may be a tricky one and I can see Japan doing the upset in this group. but at the start if I had to bet my money, I would be more willing to put one penny on the Magyars.

 

Group H

Everything will depend on :CHN roster, if at least half of their naturalized north-americans, Russians & co. will be still there, then there no competition for them.

If China will play with mostly chinese-born roster then :GBR on home ice should pass the group quite easily.

 

Group J

Is the most open Group. :POL vs :UKR can be a real do-or-die thriller and anyone´s game to win. S. Korea at home can be a threat, but PC 2018 hype is far gone and today´s :KOR roster is considerably inferior to both above mentioned neighboring countries.

so looking at the rosters, China has no chance.  GBR smoked Romania in last year's WC so it is doubtful that the British will even have a close game.  Hope I am wrong and there is some excitement though.

Maybe somebody has a link for watching the games? Especially group G. 

Nothing officially known yet, but I assume the either IIHF or Hungarian Ice Hockey Federation youtube acounts will provide streams of the matches on their platform. I guess, We will know more shortly before the start.

 

Anyway, as always, if you do not find a stream, I suggest you to just go to onhockey.TV (You´ll find all hockey streams there for free and no VPN required)

    • Update after Matchdays 8 and 9.   Group A:  is almost a lock with 21p, and 7 games 7 wins. Almost impossible for them to not qualify. The battle is in the second place between  (16p) and  (13p).  with 8p is almost out.  and  eliminated.   Group B:  won both of the 2 games so is almost secured with 19p.  is second with 14p, with  (1 more game played) and  with 11p.  is eliminated and  practically too (6p)   Group C:  went 2 out of 2 so they are still first with 16p and one game less than the rest. The battle for second place will be between  14p,  11p and  9p.  eliminated and  (with one game less and 4p) probably too.   Group D: Only 3 for 2 places.  first with 19p has the advantage, but coming close is  with 16p. They played each other in the Matchday 11 of 12. Coming in third behind is  with 11p. ,  and  eliminated.   Group E: Both  and  won both matches so its still the same, Poland first with 24p and Italy second with 21p, which is the best runner-up and also qualifying directly, so is very likely that both teams end up qualifying no matter who finish first and second. , ,  and  eliminated.   Group F: A tie between  18p and  18p. Germany has the goal advantage (+21 to +20), and has to play the three weaker teams, so its more likely to qualify. Coming behind are  with 10p and  with 9p, which are practically eliminated with  and   Group G:  takes the advantage with 12p and one game less.  and  both have 7p, and coming behind are  5p (but one game less) and  with 5p.   Group H:  with the win against  moved to first place with 13p (and one game less), and Turkey stays in second with 11p.  is coming in third with 8p, while  is eliminated and  have 3p and one game less.   Group I: A triple tie between ,  and  with 10p.
