Hello, I decided to make a round 1 playoff predictions just for fun. I don’t know everyone so I’ll probably be wrong on some of this but I hope everyone enjoys and feel free to prove me wrong. Belarus vs Italy Series Prediction: Italy Wins in 4 Games I kinda feel bad for Belarus they’re a decent team for WJC but there’s no chance Italy loses this series. Belarus will be lucky if they can win one game. Sweden vs Switzerland Series Prediction: Switzerland Wins in 6 Games Sweden is a solid team with a few good forwards and a really good Center core but Switzerland had more depth defensively and chem I got them winning this series unless Sweden just outscores them. Germany vs Japan Series Prediction: Japan Wins in 5 Games Another team that isn’t bad I actually really like Germany’s forwards but defense wins championships and Japan’s defense is way better. You need to be able to break out the puck to score and I don’t think Germany’s defense will be able to do that so I got Japan winning for that reason. Canada vs Norway Series Prediction: Norway Wins in 6 Games This series will definitely be the closest series but I still got Norway winning in 6 I just think all around the ice they got more talent and I don’t think Norway’s first line will lose to Canada.
