SWE 2-1 CZE after 2

SWE 2-1 CZE ... apparently SWE overslept but just showed up. 90 seconds apart.

SWE answers back 1-1

CZE 1-0 SWE at 3:12 into the second

SWE 0-0 CZE after one

This tournament is the "top division". Someone (assume AUT or LAT) will be relegated to "Division IA" and Norway has earned the right to play "top division" in 2024. This link defines the six tiers of IIHF Juniors play: Top, IA, IB, IIA, IIB, and III. As the tiers drop, what do they look like? Would IB look like the MN HS AA tourney? Would III look like late night UND intramurals? Does someone have a "____ tier would look like _____" reference?

SWE CZE each with a donut mid first.

FIN ENG FIN 3-0 LAT final

FIN 2-0 LAT about 6 left but LAT going on PP.

SUI is not the team to be hoping for that against. Bubs and Dane are Canadians (and not being up there will never get a WJC coaching sniff); but, will USA Hockey ever give Karl Goehring a call even as an assistant?

FIN 2-0 LAT after 2.

Thankfully I have no direct knowledge, just assumption based on his behavior pattern.

I give it at best 10% chance of all happening. The USA may stumble twice but I don't think LAT pulls off a win over SVK or FIN.

Not exactly the type of "coaching" role I'd envisioned mentioned here, but, full marks for being straight up icy.

To match the other shiny curved space that it already is tattooed?

Sure glad WMU found their offense not the last time they played (before GLI). And I hope they lose it again on an upcoming trip ...

In light of former UND RB coach Malcolm Agnew landing a new gig at Stanford, I'm interested in where former UND players or coaches may be coaching today. Obviously Agnew at Stanford. "Saint" Luke Schleussner is the OC at Idaho.

Dom? Wrong?

You know ... there's what I'll call the "Pecknold Scenario" lurking out there ... LAT took SUI to OT (got an OT point) and lost to USA 5-2. LAT has SVK and FIN left. USA just lost to SVK and has SUI and FIN left. Imagine a scenario where USA stumbles twice and LAT picks off someone ... USA could end up in relegation.

OK, Mayville Portland Clifford Galesburg Buxton Reynolds Hillsboro ... < deep breath > ... Thompson and I'm sure Hatton Northwood*. *Because they mentioned Northwood's program during the game

Not sure we want to know what you’re doing right now.

@sioux rube … I’m going to watch some live hockey (and have CAN-GER cued up for recording on DVR).

SVK 5-2

Dagger.

Mbereko just stopped me from being done with this … twice.
