USA top Line is the best line in the tournament.

Need Zellweger and Stankoven to put up those points. Have a weird thing every year where I track players all time points and how they compare to the top 100 points in Tournament history.

I have a 17 game package to all games in Moncton, shame that I’ll miss a lot of them in reasons of working or playing hockey.

Game 1 (round robin): Swiss vs Finland, it was a great game, Bichsel played incredible, excited to see him in a couple years with the Stars.

I guess for Team Canada defense is optional that 3rd goal allowed was just sad

But then again Benjamin Gaudreau was arguably the worst choice Team Canada's starting goalie

Thank **** for Bedard

I could see it bring a 2 minute charging since he left his feet, but nothing more, it was mostly clean. 5 minutes and the game is a terrible call.

In NHL its clean but IIHF rules be different for these tournaments

We can complain but its the standard.

That’s a horrible call, I’ve seen way dirtier hits not get called.

And for gods sake, change the goalie!

Canada really couldn't find a better goalie than a guy who put up a .868 SV% in the OHL?

Thinking the exact same thing. There are 10+ Canadian goalies who put up better stats this year in the OHL alone. How on earth did he get the call?

I wouldn’t necessarily say that, they have a good team, only no good goalies.

There were good goalies, they just picked two ****ty goalies for no reason whatsoever. I'm guessing bias

Out of the 4 invited, they were all bad. Certainly that guy from New Jersey.

Im seeing defensive struggles that are very similar to 2016. Still early man if they dont fix the miscommunications were in for some rough games. As sure we will have lots of offense but if we cant play well in our own zone whats the point. Also 100% goaltending needs to be better.

On top of picking 2 **** goalies. They choose the coach that's currently 16-14-1 in the WHL (11/22 in the WHL)
