Canada looking a little more alive this game. Nice to see Schenn and Scheifele get on the board.

This wraps up first place in the group and a QF vs Germany or Latvia.
 
The "weaker" teams which don't have as much depth seem like they are skating in the mud towards the end of the round robin stage... Saw it with France and now with Norway (and to a lesser extent also with the Swiss against the Fins), they just can't get any speed for a breakaway or something. Their best players were over extended and there is nobody else to step up now.
 
Not on the PP. But 5vs5 they're not even close from being good enough. Good enough for Norway but if I'd be worried if they intend to play like that in the quarterfinal...

True, it remains to see if they can raise their game and intensity. But Barrie alone wouldn't do the trick. Don't get me wrong, I like Barrie but if the rest of the players don't show up, they are asking for trouble in the knock out fase....Barrie or no Barrie.
 
Ive missed a ton of these games. How are Duchene and Scheifele playing so poorly?

Wish I knew the answer and guess Cooper feels the same way. Duchene has actually tried a lot but nothing goes his way. Scheifele, to me, at times has looked like he doesn't care too much about the game.
