Boxing Day has come and gone, and there were a lot of things we learned from the eight teams that played. Namely, that I should never make predictions again, because I don’t know anything. There were some surprises, some worries, and some wild things that we saw unfold on the first day of the 2019 World Junior Championships. Let’s dive into what happened yesterday.
Game 1: Czech Republic 2, Switzerland 1 (OT)
SOG: CZE - 31, SUI - 27
PP: CZE - 0/7, SUI - 1/2
Players of the Game: CZE - Luca Hollenstein, SUI - Lukas Dostal (ANA)
Let’s just get this out in the open: I predicted a Czech bronze, but that’s not going to happen if they continue to play as undiscplined as they did yesterday.
