    TSN broadcast is so irritating, they keep saying that Japan has to win in regulation time to avoid relegation. You would hope for such an important game they would understand the rules. I feel embarrassed for them, they made it even worse by saying that Denmark only needs one point. If they get one point either Japan or China advances. Somebody quietly got it right by saying that Japan just needs one more goal to relegate China, but does not seem to want to argue or correct on air I guess.

    'inside the games' writers are notoriously uninformed, and often just plain wrong. Blog posts more than news.

    What a brutal collapse in the 3rd. No idea they would be that bad on defense since every game in the past two years they have always had the puck. Thailand literally scored on every good chance they had with really great passing. Hard to imagine anyone beating Thailand now, but who knows?

    Kyrgyzstan will win easily, no idea who the relegated team will be.
  5. evil betty
    very true. I wonder if they will allow Russians and Belorussian doubles entrants. I would think that would fall under the IOC direction to not allow team entries, but maybe not.

    Carle is at 101 in your list,
  7. evil betty
    very good work but I don't understand two things; Why Riera instead of Carle from the Pan Am qualifiers, and why Raducanu for the Legacy quota (should be Osaka or even Andreescu before her).

    Don't know if anyone knows what is up with Italy's olympic preparation. World juniors the year before the Olympics has been the test event for the host since 1997, but WCF juniors page says that Italy has not confirmed hosting of the 2025 event yet. Kind of weird to not have a concise plan for the test events I think.

    so diaz acosta is making the most of home tournaments, but still has work to do. Even though he has moved into the top four amongst Argentina, he is not there yet just considering points counting toward Olympics.

    Estonia had the edge on Ukraine in 2018 and 2019, but since then Ukraine has been better. How fun would it be to have OT in that game? Romania has no real chance against GB; in recent history against this level of opponent (Division 1A or better) they have one win (against Lithuania) and not many games that were even close.
  11. evil betty
    so I expected Romania vs China would be a stinker of a game, but China is on the board first. Disappointed that I can't find a stream for it.
  12. evil betty
    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.
  13. evil betty
    kind of weird, just a few days away and the IIHF has not posted schedules for Cardiff or Sosnowiec.
  14. evil betty
    Could also add Italy having 12 qualified curlers, they are confirmed in all three events.
  15. evil betty
    this table is not very useful, the point totals are for a rolling 12 month ranking, not for points counting towards Olympic Qualification.
  16. evil betty
    It will be interesting to see if Diaz Acosta actually ends up qualifying for the Olympics. At this point in the Olympic cycle there are at least four from Argentina in Direct Acceptance position and he is only the 9th best from his NOC at 326 points.
  17. evil betty
    Sure they have, it's math. The most ranking points that 7th place Japan can get is 3975, and the least that USA can get is 4050, Canada 4070.

    I wonder what has happened with the IIHF Directorate Awards. Usually presented on ice at the close of the final game and/or Bronze medal game. Did I miss some news about it?
  19. evil betty
    can you imagine Canada win here with the reward that they play Italy again in the semis?
  20. evil betty
    there is a full body element to it as well, and it fits over helmet and equipment. Can do a couple laps around the ice during warm up with it on at tournaments. Play a bugle while doing it sometimes also.
  21. evil betty
    Sweden is out unless Canada loses, so GBR and Norway are semi-finalists no matter what happens. Canada's crappy dsc numbers ensure they are 3rd in any 3 way tie for third.
  22. evil betty
    So Canada is screwed on every single tie-breaking scenario. They have to beat Italy period.
  23. evil betty
    all Canada has to do now is beat the team that no one else could beat. what could go wrong?
  24. evil betty
    no way, did that just happen?
  25. evil betty
    Sweden ties it up too at eight, crazy.
