“That’s a negative, Ghost Rider.” On second thought, was it LAT or AUT that benefitted from no RUS.

Yo, Coach @108498, player X wants to test the waters outside your program. You want him back in your room?

That’s what you hope for.

Yo @stoneySIOUX or whomever … AUT has given up twenty unanswered and plays CAN next. What’s the drinking game? What’s the over/under on the AUT streak?

USA 1-0 SUI after 1 SUI starts second on PP

USA 1-0 SUI

Starman: “ … a unique-quity of the Swiss … “ I’m going to need a @MafiaMan and @Blackheart ruling on that.

Augustine in net for USA Hughes and Behrens paired (I’m cringing, don’t like it) 150 seconds in USA down a skater; PP SUI

SWE 3-2 CZE OT Final

SWE-CZE going to overtime at 2-2

And we are tied. SWE PP with about 5 minutes left

SWE 2-1 under 8 to go

Were you thinking he'd tattoo an eyeball?

If the USA team that played SVK shows up against SUI it'll not go well. And what is the USA xG ... If KG is a HC anywhere but UND I'll be displeased.

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.
