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)
