One Line Previews
Czech Republic: Look to transition U18 success (silver medal last year) into U20 success.
Denmark: Just be better than Germany.
Russia: Russia was successful last time they were close to Buffalo, and might have the roster to replicate that success.
Sweden: Looking to avenge last year's gold medal game loss.
Switzerland: If you want a darkhorse that probably won't make it too far, there is no better pick than the Swiss.
