    2 Unbelievable hockey games last night.  Unfortunate for Canada to lose their composure, but understand how much it means to those kids as well.  Gotta remember their passionate young men and this is their dream since they laced them up...live and learn.  

     

    Canada only wins the WJC when they have a player that can take the team on his back which we now know is not McKenna.   The kid was completely over-hyped and unfortunately the type of players who could have done it ( ie Celebrini and Schaeffer) were already in the NHL.   Also everyone forgets that this tournament isn't won by teams that play a bunch of underage juniors but rather a tournament where 19 year old players often dominate.

  2. Sweden has looked like the team to beat before and have often gone undefeated during many past tournaments, both the boy's and men's teams, and then they don't show up for the playoffs.

    Also, not the result we wanted, but what a fun experience for the college players! Will this be an annual thing?

    When they originally said the US was going to send a team this year, I assumed USA hockey was going to do the same thing as Canada, send a team made up of only US players that are already playing for teams in Europe.  However, it was fun to watch the college players compete.    It looks like Nashville got a real draft steal with their 2023 seventh round pick of Calgary native Aiden Fink from Penn St.

    Why was Canada the home team last night and tonight despite being the lower seed?  Host team?? They might as well just name this tournament the Team Canada International Tournament considering they are about the only country hosting it recently. 

    Not sure which game you were watching but the in the Gold Medal game on TSN they were the visiting team.   Czechia had the last change and Canada were wearing white sweaters in the game I watched.

    Blake was robbed. Hockey is losing its brilliance. Work hard, score a goal, and it gets taken away. Joke.

    IIHF rules made that play a crease violation.    If the puck exits the crease the opposing player in the crease must also exit.   Watch the replay and you will see that he did not.   The NHL would have let that goal stand.

  6. If you haven't seen it yet you all have to check out Stecher's unbelievable play to set up Canada's winning goal over Russia today.    It might just be the hockey play of the year.

    What a bush league way to decide Olympic hockey games.  

    I totally agree, it is called a Hockey Game not a skills competition.     You might as well save time and just flip a coin.

    Watching the Canada vs Finland game with mixed emotions:

    Canada losing would recreate the uproar that used to happen every four years when Canada failed to medal, from the 1970s until the NHL allowed its players to go.  That pressure is what it will take for the NHL to change its mind.  (Yeah I am boycotting the NHL for 2 weeks.)

    But I would love to see Genoway get a medal.

     

    Canada has already done as well as anyone could have hoped for with the lineup of journeymen that were thrown together.    A medal for Genoway would be nice, but even better would be another crack at the NHL.   Of all the players in that lineup he is the most deserving of another shot as he has been the team's most dependable D-man ( I don't think there has been a goal against with him on the ice).    Maybe Hakstol will give him a call.
