Canada's going to be a really interesting team to watch this year. No real superstar to carry the load, so they might just rally together as a true "team" and do it by committee...

fwiw, Finland is supposed to be one of the best teams in the tourney this year, along with Sweden and the US...

really?  I hadn't heard that.  I think the US is the team to beat.  And we won't do it with this team.

I honestly don't know **** about CHL hockey, as most of us don't, but I heard one of the talking heads on TSN say that, anyhow...

US is ok... They beat a bad Denmark team tho so it proves nothing... Id say Canada Finland The US and Sweden are all equals this tournament. Truly in short tourneys it comes down to goaltending... That US goalie is legit tho.

US looks really good but I have a hard time saying Canada can't beat them.  Canada has a pretty good team.  I think they made a couple bizarre choices on who to keep and who not to keep but still a very strong team.

well the Finns do have Vesalainen so that's a huge advantage for sure.  :)

Watching him out there he did remind me of Armia.  Big kid!

Solid win over Slovakia last night. A little dicey when Bean went down and missed some time, especially with Clague already out. But it was good he returned to action last night.

Blue line needs to be healthy for tomorrow's outdoor tilt.

Team Canada up 2-0 on two PPGs in the opening frame!

I expect them to continue to roll. Anything can happen obviously and there's lots of game left but....

The US would be exhausted from chasing the game yesterday, quick turnaround and then cold weather, grueling game against the Canadians.

I bet USA Hockey  wishes they had scheduled this differently.

US - Sweden first round playoff game?

Did the cold affect our team more than the US? Two goal collapse in the third period followed by a dreadful shootout.  That. Was. Bad. 

it shouldn't because both Canada and the US are used to the cold, it's clear that Mother Nature doesn't like hockey
