Definitely. Schmaltz had a couple of chances on that PP.

Schmaltz is getting a lot of time on the PP it seems and hes playing more of a Frattin role during Frats last year.

I haven't watched Jack Eichel a whole lot on TV but impressions off this one WJC game....he needs to seriously loosen up. Tried doing way too much on his own. USA chemistry has to pick up.

Looked pretty loose on that shot...

When it's just him and the goalie in a shootout. :p How about when there were defensemen in the way? ;)

Haha I was going to write the same thing. I too noticed he looked a tad tight during the game (and he still was the best player on the ice :) ). He'll loosen up and dominate. There was one instance when tuch clearly missed eichel on a two and one. That Finnish team is pretty good. Finns always play good in tight games.

It was good seeing schmaltz on the first pp unit. Other than eichel and maybe tuch, schmaltz was the most noticeable player on the ice. The puck was on his stick so much.

Canada is playing very physical.  If Finland's Lintuniemi takes runs at the Canadian players like he did at Eichel all day today, I think he will be taken behind the wood shed quite severely, maybe even multiple times.

So who are the big dogs in this ?

Has there been a upset yet ?

I read an article that pegged Sweden as the favorite...no upsets yet that I have seen. Sweden defeated the Czechs 5-2 yesterday and Russia defeated Denmark 3-2 in a shoot-out. Denmark blew a 2-0 lead in that one.

Sweden defeats Denmark 5-1. Looks like the Danes expended a great deal of energy yesterday - they looked gassed in today's game.

Up next is the Czech Republic vs Switzerland in what should be a good game.
