S78 IIHF - Day 1&2 Recap (2x IIHF) - ghamss - 09-29-2024
We have finished day two of the tournament and the standings are slowly starting to take shape. Teams have played between 3 (
) and 7 games ( 
). Lots of more hockey to play to help us figure out who will be at the top heading into playoffs and who will be fighting for their life. Group A
| Rank | Team Name | Record |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Switzerland | 4-0-2-1 |
| 2 | Sweden | 3-1-2-0 |
| 3 | Quebec | 3-0-2-0 |
| 4 | Germany | 2-1-0-1 |
| 5 | Norway | 2-1-2-0 |
| 6 | Finland | 1-0-4-1 |
| 7 | Ireland | 1-0-4-0 |
Group B
| Rank | Team Name | Record |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Canada | 5-0-0-0 |
| 2 | Czechia | 3-0-2-0 |
| 3 | Latvia | 3-0-3-0 |
| 4 | France | 2-0-2-1 |
| 5 | United States | 2-0-3-0 |
| 6 | Japan | 1-1-3-0 |
| 7 | Great Britain | 0-0-3-0 |
Canada
remains the only undefeated team, leading Group B by 6 points. Czechia 
and Latvia 
follow with 9 points. These three teams are in the green for goal differential. Teams in Group A are closer with all teams having at least 2 loses with the exception of Germany
who has not lost in regulation time but has lost once in overtime. Ireland’s preseason was telling of how the tournament would start as they are still in a sluggish state only having one win. They will need to turn things around quickly if they want a chance to defend their title.Ekaterina Valieva and Tony Soprano
lead the tournament with 6 goals, averaging a goal per game or better. Max Carnage 
is the sole leader with 8 assists. Valieva is also leading the tournament in points with 10 points over 5 games. Bender Junior is leading the tournament in shots blocked, averaging 4.5 blocked shots a game. Lots of games left and many points still up for grabs. No team is (mathematically) out of it yet.
