Event Information

The Power Rankings are for the enjoyment of IIHF.com readers, and reflect the progress of teams during the IIHF World Championship. They are distinct from the official standings and IIHF World Ranking.

Power Rankings (as of 8 May)

1.		RUSSIA Can't we ever just blow out Germany the old-fashioned way?
2.		FINLAND Is it legal in Finland to score that many goals?
3.		CANADA If we’d lost to France, it would have been a circus
4.		SWEDEN Hey Loui, has anyone ever told you you're underrated?
5.		CZECH REPUBLIC We won, but Norway gives us Kafkaesque nightmares
6.		LATVIA Our beavers chewed up their gladiators
7.		USA No biggie – we landed on the moon AND invented Britney Spears
8.		SWITZERLAND If it wasn't for Immonen and Filppula, we'd have won 2-1
9.		GERMANY Sometimes skill trumps will
10.		SLOVAKIA Now those hamburger-eating cowboys must respect us!
11.		NORWAY We like showing the Czechs our big Viking swords
12.		BELARUS Clearly, it would be inappropriate to hope for a Ukrainian protest
13.		DENMARK Spotting Sweden four goals was perhaps unwise
14.		KAZAKHSTAN Even if we lost, it’s fun to say “Krasnoslobodtsev”
15.		FRANCE Rouen Dragons offer Sharp 10-year contract
16.		ITALY Sadly, our 5-0 loss to Latvia was unrelated to match-fixing
