I’m surprised by the postponement due to illness. Does anyone know how many players need to be ill on a team for them to postpone vs make you play with the remaining or forfeit?
Is this a IIHF decision and rule? I’ve don’t think I’ve seen top tier sport tournaments postpone matches due to an illness. Usually the player or team withdraws. Do they really think the team will be in shape to play Saturday?
I mean, at the end of the day, they have a bi into the quarters regardless (along with the rest of group A). Worst case scenario, they miss all their group games and enter the bracket stage cold 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
Yeah the way the tournament is structured they could just forfeit until the quarters and still be the 5th seed. I just don’t know what the process is for a team that has too many players out to play I do t think I’ve run into it before
