After a single round-robin series in each group, the top four teams from each group advance to the Playoff Round while the fifth-placed team in each group moves to the Relegation Round.

The top four placed teams from the Preliminary will play a cross-over Quarterfinal game: 1A vs. 4B, 1B vs. 4A, 2A vs. 3B and 2B vs. 3A. The winner of each Quarterfinal moves onto the Semi-Finals.

The winner of each Semi-Final game will move onto the Gold Medal Game, while the losers will play in the Bronze Medal Game.

The quarter-final losers will be ranked 5th to 8th according to 1. their position in the group, 2. their preliminary-round record (1. points, 2. goal difference, 3. goals scored).

Oh damn. Here comes the Latvian upset.

Not really, but at least it's closer than the Sweden/Denmark game so far.
 
Well at least we didn't lose because of goaltending that was supposed to be our weak point lol. I don't really expect much from this tournament as we are missing our top 4 fowards (Laine, Aho, Puljujärvi and Saarela).
