I thought Knak was too old by this point, I guess since guys who played in the PP'ed one are allowed to play now he can. Huge W for Switzerland there, they have a chance to beat Germany now


Even more funny, Stutzle was still eligible to play in this tourney.

Yeah it’s the same rules as the cancelled one. This is the 2022 tournament, so all 2002s are still eligible. Switzerland vs. Germany is gonna be more competitive than it should be lol. I’m not sure why Noah Meier isn’t here for Switzerland though

Ostapchuk supremacy 💪💪💪

At least Canada has one (1) right shot defenseman this time.

Took 2 penalties in the pre-tournament game, while Ostapchuk scored. Also it’s against Latvia, so they can afford to give him a wake-up slap and hope he comes back motivated against better teams.

Mason McTavish just had the coolest interview I've ever seen, actually said some interesting, relevant stuff

Namely and notably, he did not utter the phrase "pucks in deep"

Btw my pre-tournament all-tournament team prediction:

Forwards: McTavish, Bedard, Raty
Defensemen: L. Hughes, Niemela
Goalie: Garand

Gold: Canada
Silver: Finland
Bronze: USA

Note: If Sweden medals, Wallstedt probably wins goalie of the tournament. Otherwise it probably goes to the gold medal winning goalie. Edvinsson, Johnson, Hirvonen, Coronato, KniesBordeleau also in the running for these.

Just saw the highlight of the Bedard goal. What a great shot. That quick toe drag to change the angle coupled with a powerful release from range? Disgusting

Gotta love the Latvia pushback - always fun when these WJC games get close with small counties against the big boys.

Zellwinger is horrible, no idea how he made this team

Guess he's another Erik Gustafsson because he skates in cement and has 0 defensive IQ.

This team is horrible. I'm going to put the blame on Dave Cameron, but if we play anything like this for the rest of the tournament we'll be lucky to make the medal rounds.

They dont look disciplined and thats a real concern to me as man being only up 2 goals and Latvia having so many chances to score another is not good

Never was a huge fan of Cameron.
I’m cheering for Canada but if there’s money down - USA.
