Jeez just checked in to watch the game and I'm stunned. What is going on, and how did Canada not do this to the Swiss?

The Swiss gave us all we could handle yesterday and it could of went the other way.
Maybe the swiss we;re more rested,dunno,maybe you guys are better than us.

Guess we;ll find out

will be good hockey
good luck
 
Hasn't anyone told Wilson that they can't come first anymore?

Nice save-percentage for Switzerland by the way. 10 goals on 25 shots....

Wilson is trying to get an NHL job through this tournament.
 
With the new draft lottery rules and the importance of entry-level contracts under the salary cap system, I wouldn't expect many 1sts to be traded without lottery protection conditions anymore..
i fear i missed something ... would you explain this briefly please?
 
Man. This game shows that Canada doesn't have a chance this year

Well Canada has dug themselves a HOLE...BUT they played the Yanks fairly even + beat 3kr's in pre-tourney game...so all is not doom and gloom...NOT YET...

Projected opponents of Suomi and presumably Sweden , in QF and Semis ( assuming Canada gets that far ), MAY actually be preferable to CZE and Russia, which would be USA's projected route to Gold Game...
 
Swiss coach addressing his team ...

"Don't worry, boys. 9 quick ones and we're right back in this thing."

Starting this year, the top 3 picks are all determined by a lottery, not just the first pick. As such, there will probably be a lot more GM's of non playoff teams, who will be a lot more are hesitant to move their first, until the order is officially known.

The rest was just him mentioning that team's like young cheap kids for as long as they can have them with the way the cap works.

Ah ok, the no chance for PO teams lottery thing .. sorry I think for the right compensation of players and picks you give away a tkachuck worthy pick, so, yeah I think the new lottery rule doesn't change the pain and gain logic of a draft day deal, if it makes sense for both ..

.. they look really strong together matthews and tkachuk.

what did the canuck have to give away to get the second sedin pick back then? anybody remembers that?

Canada may have not been good yet but they do not have an awful team. In all fairness Canada could end up with an easier pass to the Gold Medal game if the Czech beat the Finns.
Even if Czech do beat the Finns i think the Finns are a more scary team. But all this will be decided tomorrow
