Decent group so far.

Netminding a concern.

Maybe Hellebuyck can head over.

:mrgreen:

That’s the second pairing on the Canucks that I figured they’d get to next season. Nice to see them getting experience playing together:

Hughes Hronek
Meaty Willander
DPetey Myers

KK Mancini

That’s a nice group.

Looks like Crosby (what a leader) and Nate Mac are headed to the World's.

Canada's goaltending just got better on a measurable scale.

Fleury heading to the Worlds.

If they win the tournament that means a Triple Gold Club membership for Marc-Andre.

Nice way to cap off an illustrious career.

Denmark vs Switzerland. The battle of whether the arms of a white cross should reach the sides of a red flag.

Doesn't look like a guy who's about to retire.

Canada crushed Latvia 7-1, but not because the Latvians weren't trying.
I mean, Canada was clearly the better team, but Fleury was red hot and against a lesser goalie Latvia could easily have had a couple of more goals.

The Finns aren't looking good. They narrowly beat Austria 2-1 after the Austrians had a goal disallowed, and then they let France get a 3-1 lead before tying the game in regulation, scoring two goals with their goalie pulled, and then winning in overtime. Against France! :shock:

So, sure, two wins, but they shouldn't have this much problems against countries like Austria and France.

They play Sweden tonight, but I expect them to bring their A-game this time.
They truly hate losing to us. But from what I've seen so far, I think they will.

The Yanks are struggling a bit. Lost to Switzerland and needed overtime to beat Norway. Fucking Norway! :shock:

Canada and Sweden are both undefeated and doing fine so far:

Slovenia vs Canada 0-4
Latvia vs Canada 1-7
Canada vs France 5-0

Sweden vs Slovakia 5-0
Sweden vs Austria 4-2
Finland vs Sweden 1-2
Latvia vs Sweden 0-6
