The Canadian team played 3 games in the season and lost in all cases. Such a bad start last time happened to Toronto 15 years ago. The team certainly has one of the best defensive lines in the league, but even 100 points conceded from Philadelphia do not guarantee victory. The Raptors are trying to drag Anunobi, Lauri and Siakam, but long-range shots at the main sniper of the Vanvleet team do not fly at all. Toronto starts each game well, leading to the end of the 1st quarter at 8-10 points. In the 3rd and 4th quarters, a failure occurs, where the gained advantage is quickly transformed into a final loss. Since Toronto won the championship title, the team has lost 4 key players, but the Raptors have the same coach. The team is obliged to go to the playoffs and starting failures should be regarded as nothing more than a short-term decline.
Like the Czech Republic, the Austrian team also managed to play in three group round matches. But in none of the fights the weak national team did not score a single point, which is why it is the last in the table. The Austrian youth team experienced the whole horror of the World Cup already at the start. In the game with the USA the eaglets were enough for only 10 hits, when opponents shot 7 times more, because of which the Austrians flew in crushingly (0:11). Austria’s failures continued in the duel with Sweden. Yes, in that game Roger Bader’s team conceded much less, but they only shot six times on target. The match ended with a dry 0:4 defeat. In their last match, Austria faced Russia and even managed to score in the second period. But before that, the “eaglets” conceded 4 goals and in the third 20-minutes got another 3. The final score was 1:7. So, what is the free prediction for the NHL match for today?
