I guess not! Penalty on Canada with 5min left.

Yeah... The refs would probably fear for their lives if they called a penalty on Canada at this point.

Another weak penalty on the US.

Go to the IIHF website, they have all the stats/standings.

Weak. Bounced off like 3 players in front of Campbell. 4-3 USA

The US just hit the post. That would have been huge...

KRISTO!!!!

It's Dean Blais hockey combined with the best U20 players in the nation. Speed kills, Dean really built a fast team here, even the dmen can fly.

Go to http://www.tsn.ca/world_jrs/, super clear free webcast.

No doubt. If the WCHA called the games like the Intl, it would really separate the league, which is probably what the league doesn't want. The UAA, MTU, MSUM, etc of the league would really be lower-tiered when compared to the UND, UW, DU, UMN, etc. The talent from those teams would be allowed to actually skate instead of being tackled for the game, which would really allow them to shine offensively.

End of 2nd period. 3-2 USA What a great game so far.

Another Shorty!!!! 3-2 USA

How many odd man rushes will Canada give the US? They need to bury those...

Great tape to tape pass from Johnson I believe on the boards.

Great period of hockey. 1-1 End of 1st.

I like how the US is playing so far. Very quick and getting more quality chances than CAN IMO. Can they keep it up?

I could see Hakstol putting Frattin on the 3rd/4th line this weekend just until he gets back up to game speed. Either way, it will be great to have him back on the ice.

Yeah, for Chay limited time would be only 30min of ice time a game.

VandeVelde

Those are my thoughts as well. The team wouldn't have him flying to Chicago if it could possibly re-aggravate the concussion. Hopefully this is a good sign...

My feelings: If <insert team here> is playing Canada in the championship game I will cheer for the <insert team here>.

Finland crushed Austria 10-1 earlier today. In other news, Kristo leads all WJC players with 18 sog in 3 games. That seems surprising. http://stats.iihf.com/Hydra/205/IHM205000_85C_4_0.pdf

Heady...concussion... I get it!

If he hasn't changed much then I would doubt that they would bring him with on the roadtrip. He would probably still be advised to sit at home and rest up to try to clear the PCS symptoms. That's just my guess, and I'm no doctor. Hopefully he's recovering well and can join the team in the next month!
