but this year is basically a forced exception.
Finland is fielding a "gold or catastrophe" team this year on home ice. Finnish fans know this and this is why they're hyped up about this year's tournament.
Finland not winning gold is a catastrophe already. Not winning at least a medal this year would be an uncurable national tragedy. |

And those are literally the only three good players on Canada.
Finland meanwhile has the #1 and #3 draft prospects on their top line thrown in with Sebastian Aho for AMAZING chemistry with JP, TWO players in NHL systems on the second line, and a defenseman who is going anywhere between 5th to 15th in the draft who also happens to play with Marner and knows how to shut him down. |

| I will always care for this tournament. Hockey doesn't get much more exciting than watching inexperienced kids play hockey. Always expect the unexpected in a tournament like this. |

You want lack of experience?
Watch one of these:
1) IIHF U18 World Championship 2) Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament (basically the same as U18) 3) World U17 Challenge 4) IIHF Women's U18 World Championship 5) IIHF Challenge Cup of Asia Division 1 |

i have flip flopped with who i thought would win the tournament quite a bit. before they started playing i was saying canada all the way, after the first few games i was calling usa, now i'd have to say sweden.
in order of skill i'd rate it sweden>us>canada>finland>russia

"USA sucks they lost to Sweden"
Umm, yes but it was a 1-0 loss. It's not like we got man handled or anything. You can clearly see from the shot toals, Soderstrom bailed them out. And I have to ask you, who has Sweden loss to so far? No one.
USA doesn't suck and looks to be the most complete team on paper out of all the teams. The offense is there with the number 1 prospect in the tournament, Auston Matthews, along with Christian Dvorak, White, Millano, DeBrincat(When this clown get's his crap together) and Tkachuk. The defense is present, and the goaltending is fantastic with Nedeljkovic and Halverson. Seems like a pretty solid team and can easily contend for a gold medal. |
