Just what the hell is going on in that Group A. Switzerland clinched 1 seed, Germany 2 seed, while seeds 3 and 4 are still up for grabs between Denmark, Canada and Slovakia.

Finland and Czechia just might try to lose to each other tonight in order to get that "safe" matchup with Germany instead of facing one of those 3 including Canada.

edit:
Lol, here are the scenarios for FIN-CZE:

If Finland wins in regulation, it plays Slovakia in the quarterfinals. If Finland loses in regulation, it plays Germany. Any overtime: Finland plays Canada.

If Czechia wins in regulation, it plays Canada in the quarters. If Czechia loses or there's any overtime, Czechia plays Germany.

And the semifinalists will be reseeded so that the top semifinalist faces the lowest semifinalist on this seeding list:

1 SUI
2 FIN
3 SWE
4 GER
5 CAN
6 CZE
7 USA
8 SVK

I'm thinking the semis will be SUI vs CZE, and FIN vs CAN/SWE.

also very surprised the iihf uses 3v3 overtime for the finals

Part of the overhaul that brough upon unlimited overtimes in the final. It used to be 4 on 4, but it was only one 20-minute OT followed by a shootout.
