Definitely. They are legitimately one of the favorites. Back in 2018 they went to shootout in the gold medal game against Sweden but that was more of an underdog that went on a bit of a Cinderella run as they finished fourth in their group prior to that. This team is just legitimately good.
In this tournament with the mediocre teams iced yes.
 
I hope he gets suspended so they send a message early about this crap which doesn’t belong in the game.

I saw what happened to Karlsson first-hand and it’s scary what could have happened.
Yeah, those skates are sharp af. Getting tendons and arteries sliced is no joke. Pretty scummy to do that on purpose.

Well, good hockey game so far, Canada giving the Swiss everything they can handle but might not be enough to get the job done today, need that next goal or it's probably curtains.

Still it sets up a juicy rematch potential.

Yeah, this was a part of the grand master plan going into this tournament.

:rolleyes:

Stupid player does something stupid and gets away with it.

That’s all there is to it.
This isn‘t your first hockey game, I am sure of it.

In any case, Switzerland responded the way it should to this gooning up by your guys. Beautiful goal by Hischier and then Simion pots a rebound. Serves Veleno well.
 
Canadian announcers agreeing that they don’t know what Veleno was thinking and that it is was extremely dangerous.
 
It probably will be? :huh:
It's a travesty if it is not looked at. Using your skate blade as a weapon, despicable.

If only there had been a stick in the area he could have said he wanted to break it. Now? 100% intent to injure a player.
 
I've heard Gord Miller from TSN saying the Swiss think they can compete in a best on best tournament. I know they have 1 of the best defenseman in the NHL and a few really good forwards but I don't see them competing in a best on best tournament

You’re right.

The Canadian coaching brain trust called Veleno into their hotel room last night and gave him secret instructions to wait until they were fighting for a puck along the boards and then stomp him on the leg.

They will still be a bit of a spoiler team but not a guaranteed win.

I think everyone agrees

Sometimes people in Europe have weird ideas about what our sports media thinks.
