Verification word: Borje 4. Before finals both goalies have pretty similar Goals Against Average, Soonika leading 2.51 to 2.55, but Brzeczyszczykiewicz has edge on save percentage 0.927 to 0.919. Which of the teams do you think has edge on net? For me, the edge goes of course to mr. Brzeczyszczykiewicz. He has a cooler goalie name and it gives him just a slight edge in my opinion. I also really like his butterfly technique. It is a candy for my eyes and also many others goalie experts and goalie coaches. So yeah, that Polish kid seems legit for me if we use the language of youths. Words: 66 / 1 TPE 12. Written, 50 to 200+ words. Is It Always The Same? IIHF is short tournaments with only 12 round robin games for each team, which leads to huge swings from season to season when it comes to standings. Same is true for the WJC as well. With that in mind what do you think will be different from last season? Do you expect things to change for your team or player? And what you expect to stay the same? Team Finland is always a medal contender. Last season it failed to win a gold medal. It was a disappointment. This time they can go all the way and not lose in the playoffs. There are some youths coming up and ready to take bigger role. So, I would like to guarantee that it will be a better hockey team this year but in sports in general everything can happen and puck luck has a huge role too so I can not do that. I can just promise that it will give themselves a chance to win and hockey gods will then decide afterwards if it really wins or not a medal. Carpet in the net gives it a chance to beat other powerhouses every year. It is up to skaters and coaches to perform well too. When it comes to other teams, I expect big powerhouses like Canada, USA and Sweden dominate the event too year after year. The hockey culture is so deep in those countries so they should contend for medals every season. Simply no excuses. Teams like Ireland, Japan and UK should not celebrate at all in the international stage. Maybe Switzerland always improves from last seasons. So, those are my excellent predictions and preview for the upcoming tournament.
