this was one of the tough match to predict the level is pretty similar for both  , i was for SVK but i predicted +1 for FRA 

 

No, not really   France is hugely improving, no doubts about, but there still a gap, they have here almost their top team (missing 3 extremely important players though...like Roussel, Bellemare and Bertrand) but the rest is here...we are far to play with all our best (unfortunately it´s like this now for many years)

 

Also The match itself was pretty one-sided, only our offensive efficiency misery helped the French to stay alive and close until the end of the match (France had 9 shots on goal in the first 2 periods but still scored, we had more than twice of it but scored only 2 )...but we are already used of it, this is what we have last couple of years, extreme lack of top-scorers is our biggest problem, this year again we are missing top players in this post. Especially missing Pánik

the Boston duo Krejci and Pastrnak are just illegal with the IIHF-size rinks...

they have completely changed the outlook of their team...

and Pastrnak (what a player he is!) has just killed my prediction (I had the Russians winning by 1)...

meanwhile I just missed the Canadian winning margin against NOR by a single goal (I had +6)...

not a bad day, I'd say...if it wasn't for this OT winner by the #88 in red...

 

p.s. imho, this CZE-RUS has been the best match of this championship so far (not that there have been that many to remember)...
