Nope

Edit:
Hearing it is quasi-bubble. Sharing hotels with general public, fans allowed, etc.
Last year it was a full bubble, teams could isolate individual positive cases and play on. That's not the case this year. Have a gut feeling this tournament is going to get cancelled.

Wonder if they have changed the rules for relegation due to covid outbreaks, would be very unfortunate if USA got relegated due to this.

SUI W tho.

Sucks for the States, this is very significant in terms of seeding. Imagine if they lose to Sweden and Russia, they could find themselves in 4th or not even make the medal rounds.

Slovakia has managed 73 shots in two games against USA and Sweden, but now they're seriously in trouble in terms of not making it into the quarterfinals due to Switzerland getting the points after US had to forfeit the game.

Gotta feel bad for them. They've played pretty well so them dropping this early is a shame. They need a 3 point W against Swiss team now.

I mean, Slovakia vs Switzerland was always going to be the game that decides 4th place, it's just unexpected that the Swiss "beat" the US

Even if it's true, this gives a serious handicap for Slovakia now, as they must win the game in regulation while the Swiss can be content with OT loss...they'd still be through.

Unless Slovakia beats Russia...then this changes the game.
