Okay I’m going to own this one - when I went looking for how the placement games worked I couldn’t find the official information on the IIHF Olympic site or in the IIHF rules so I went based on the IIHF Olympic site from Sochi and apparently I stared at
L(3A – 2B) – 3B
L(4A – 1B) – 4Btoo long and flipped things around. So today’s games are not Sweden vs Korea and Switzerland vs Japan after all.
There’s no commentary on the CBC stream of this so we just get to listen to the Korean fans screaming, which is entirely amazing.
