Apparently Korea’s first ever win against Canada at the men’s worlds. Canada scored 4 points in the 8th and stole 2 in the 9th to take a one point lead, but it just wasn’t enough.

Swewi 285 Posted April 6, 2021 #14 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Exciting. Still 7 teams with a realistic chance to win the round robin and even more teams still with a chance to compete for the play off and olympic spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NearPup 2,095 Posted April 7, 2021 #19 Share Posted April 7, 2021 At this point all appear to be cruising towards Olympic qualification. They are two (or 2.5 in the case of Norway) games ahead of the 7th place team, with only 4 (or 5 for Norway) games remaining. are battling for the sixth place, but the USA is definitely in the driver’s seat there. They are half a game ahead of Switzerland and a game ahead if Italy and, crucially, they hold the tie-breaker over both teams. The only silver lining for the Swiss is that on paper they have a slightly easier schedule ahead of them. Italy is going to need to hope both teams ahead of them drop a couple games to teams that are towards the bottom of the standings. Edit: I am obviously rooting for Switzerland because their accents when they talk to each other in French are just delightful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
