Anybody begging to play in the lame World Cup surely loves to play for their country. But Phil will never again because of that tweet.

I will also add this, both Canada and the US top players all looked rusty - most of both teams best players haven't played hockey in about a month..stepping into a game against Slovakia/Finland did neither team any favors out the gate. I imagine both teams look far better tomorrow as the rust fades away.
Nobody, we complain about young guys, but take in mind nobody of those you mentioned are headed to play anyway, maybe Connor, but most likely there won’t be superstar players next year. So this polemics are pointless.
Nobody comes for sure, the will register 3rd goalie and Wolanin tomorrow and keep on open spot that won’t be filled. That’s it.

If the US does fix the breakout and zone coverage then they have a chance. Hoping that the horrible game was just a 2nd exhibition game. The Finland game will be an indication if they truly worked out some kinks.

Do we have any news or rumors on Seth Jones yet? I know there are a ton of issues to fix, but we have looked better in the round robin recently than we have in the more meaningful knockout rounds, so getting it handed to us yesterday might actually be good in the long run. Still I would like to get the last two add over quickly if possible.

Its your turn Mr.Hughes. Kakko really push Jack at the moment. It would be nice to see Jack in big apple but i still want to see American nro.1 overall. I want to see dominating team perfomance tomorrow. No excuses.

Blashill must be drunk. Vatrano is still 13. forward and Skjei-Hanifin pair is still together. Shocking. Least some changes in lines. Demko starts and Wolanin is in.
Yeah, why not disgust young player for Glendening, who will never play again after Blashill.
Vatrano goal now
Vatrano goal now
As a Kings fan it is sad to see how bad Alec Martinez is these days. In 2014 playoffs he was really important piece for Kings when they won second cup. Vatrano least got some minutes today. Skjei-Hanifin is not what i want to see but least there is rotation now because Wolanin is playing.
Eichel was pretty good against Slovakia IMO, but now with Johnny i expect points from both of them. Maybe it is silly to say something like this but i really think Hughes need to work his shot and finishing. Amazing skillset and vision but could score more goals with better finishing.

This team still no effort at all, when France improved they were almost better team than USA, this is worrying.
Bad habits returned in second period. Least last 10 minutes was again better and also Kaner looked better already. Demko is excellent and should play tomorrow. I think we need him in goal against Finland. Eichel and Gaudreau need to be much better. My honest opinion is that Fox has been best D against Slovakia and also today. Maybe i am only one but D is not really good. We knew that but it has been even worse.

sincerety
Fourth line was always much better when Vatrano played. Demko and Fox was excellent. Otherwise again too many guys was really frustrated and specially first ten minutes in second period was shameful effort. Even Larkin was really frustrated today. Tomorrow they need full 60 minutes. Demko should start in goal for sure. I also liked that Wolanin played today. He was not great but i think it is good that there is another option. Eichel also need his opening goal. Many good things today from him but also some really forced plays. Gaudreau also need to be better tomorrow.

No way was I waking up at 3AM to watch this game. Have a feeling DeBrincat is going to explode in this tournament. Beauty goal by Colin White between the legs.

Is there anything teams like USA and Canada can do to give incentives for more NHLers to come play in the worlds? I'm sure pride of playing for your country is a big one but it doesn't seem to get many players over.
AmericanDream
Thank you Elon!
for the US, this is the best offensive group we have ever brought. defense is missing that final piece and obviously in net, but Demko could be that kid ready to shine next year. I would take this tpe of team each and every year, likely as good as it will get.
looking at this draft and all those USNDP kids going top 15 will benefit down the road as well..those kids will be representing us at the NHL level as well.

The U.S got a real good turnout this year, I know it's far from the norm but nothing to complain about this year. On paper this team should be at least a co favourite with the roster they managed to get.
