TPE+3 12. Written, 50 to 200+ words. Old Reliable IIHF Analysis Write your predictions for this year's IIHF tournament or WJC! Tell me about your team! What are your expectations for your player? What teams are you watching out for this time around? Did last season's results surprise you and how much do you expect them to change this time? When looking at predictions for the next IIHF season, the expectations are high for Finland and myself, especially since I won the past 3 WJC in a row. Finland also has a lot of great players, so anything other than a medal on the podium would probably be a failure. I do not have many expectations for my player since he is just playing his rookie season as a part of the IIHF, so he will probably be getting minimal minutes on a third line pairing on defence. If I am able to look down some of the other top lines and record a good +/-, then I will really have nothing to complain about. As for whatever other country I will be watching out for this tournament, it will definitely be the U.S.A, especially because they are going to be our division rival, and it should be the team we are battling to become first in the division with. If we somehow do not win that game, it will give us a tougher match up later on in the tournament in the playoff round, if we make it there. I mentioned it before but anything other than a medal for Patey V2 will be a failure for him and his country. Finland is a mix of young and old, so capitalizing on teams like these is when it is important most, because were not sure what will be our future when the veterans retire. 200+ words TPE+4 13. Written, 50 to 200+ words. National Rivalry Which team do you see as your main rival in either IIHF or WJC? Maybe it is the closest neighboring country or someone who you have met in the playoffs countless times? Or maybe your team got split for WJC and you now have eternal hatred for the other team or the other way around, did your teams get merged and you want to show to your old partners in IIHF why they were bringing you down? Do you think that most of your team agrees with your pick or is it for more personal reasons? If were talking division rival, it is definitely the U.S.A, because as I mentioned before, they are the determining factor whether we battle for the top spot in the division. As for cross division rivalries, it would be Sweden. It would be Sweden because as the top European teams, we want to make sure we take the crown away from them as the top team. Losing in the finals or another round is one thing, but if it is to another top European country, that's when pride comes on the line. 91 words TPE+1 8 TPE total |
