Miller got the short end of the stick and ended up matched with Parayko…serves him right.

Crazy how Finland, Sweden, or Canada can make the ship yet. Money is still on Canada but obviously a hot goalie can change that 

Canada/Finland at noon

USA/Sweden at 7

Hope USA is healthier on Thursday; missing a lot of firepower tonight. (but getting important rest I hope)

Hopefully the American fans don't follow suit and boo the Canadian National Anthem.  Let's be a little more classy.

It will take one incident where someone cracks their head on the ice, and the whole fighting thing will be in the news outside of the hockey world and things will probably take a different direction from there.  It looked like Sam Bennett was going to hit the ice like that, but thankfully he didn't.   I am actually surprised we haven't seen an incident like this already, because you are in such a vulnerable position when you are being wrestled to the ice.   Surprised we haven't seen an incident with a fractured eye socket or something either.

INJURY UPDATES HEADING INTO THE FINAL

Injuries could play a huge role in the outcome of this game.

Charlie McAvoy has been ruled out for the final, a massive loss for USA’s blue line. Sanderson in 

Matthew and Brady Tkachuk are expected to play despite being banged up, per ESPN’s Emily Kaplan.

Auston Matthews is also expected to play, though he has been dealing with soreness.

Quinn Hughes has been added to USA’s roster but can only play if another player is ruled out. He has yet to appear in the tournament due to injury but would provide a strong counter to Cale Makar if he were able to make it into the US lineup
