Day 3.
Canada and Belarus have the night off after playing back to back in the first two days.
TSN 1/2/3/4/5, tsn.ca, TSN Go should have all the games.
10 AM MT Finland vs Denmark
Denmark was embarrassed in their opening match up with a 9-0 loss to the Americans. Hopefully some questionable officiating in the game against Canada doesn't cause Finland to go into a downward spiral. If Finland loses this game, not only would it be an upset, questions about WTF is going on with their program will be asked.
As of posting Finland still only has registered 12 forwards and 7 defenceman, which means they have only allocated 19 of their 20 skater spots for this tournament. Tuulola and E. Rasanen are still waiting word on which of them gets to play in the tournament.
Valimaki #6 for Finland
Tuulola #19 for Finland (if he plays)
12 pm MT Russia vs Switzerland
Russia was upset by the Czechs on day 1. Switzerland barely beat Belarus. Should be Russia's game.
2pm MT Sweden vs Czech
The Czechs have a decent team this year so should be a good test for Sweden. Pettersson was sick yesterday and missed practice, so that could be a factor. It looks like Lindstrom between Nylander and Pettersson will continue.
Lindstrom leads the tournament in faceoff %. Going 11 for 11 on day 1.
Lindstrom will wear #16 for Sweden
6pm MT USA vs Slovakia
Slovakia had a horrible showing against Canada yesterday and Flames prospect Ruzicka did not look good. Hoping for a bounce back game for Ruzicka.
If Slovakia doesn't get their sh*t together expect the Americans to blow them out like they did Denmark.
Fox will wear #8 for USA
Ruzicka will wear #21 for Slovakia
WJC Day 3: FIN-DEN, RUS-SUI, SWE-CZE, and USA-SVK
