Larkin has looked better than Eichel.
That's ok though. McDavid hasn't been the best guy on the ice for most of his games.

If Russia wins, we get the winner of the FIN-SWE I don't like that
You'd rather get a winner of the CAN/DEN?

Too conservative. They have discipline, but their offensive strategy is poor.
The only thing funnier than all the sniping on the sidelines is the backhanded "what are you talking about??? most of us want you to win cause we'll totes beat you!"
No one loves U.S. hockey more than 2525. Hell, he loves it more than some Americans.
The U.S. has been lousy. Don't blame us. With all the penalties, thank God you are still in it.
As for me...
On NYE there was no time where I thought Canada would lose. We match up wonderfully against the U.S. Same style of play with better players.
The Russians are a box of chocolates.

"Remeber the IIHF honours CHL suspensions & by my calculation Cole Cassels' last game served would be on Dec. 30. "
Perhaps thats why, then.

No replay, and I rewound and could not see anything. It was on the icing dump and everyone was coasting into the bench, so something well behind the play for sure.

I agree. Its just cycle, play high in the slot to prevent the fast break, and point shots.
I was wrong. Better to make a prediction and be wrong than to wait until something happens and then say, "I predicted that".

Refs job is to call penalties, not to make sure it's fun to watch.
The players dictate what happens, if they decide to break the rules there'll be lots of penalties and not very "good flow" will ensue.
Refs should never interfere or manage the game in any shape or form, the games flow is only a consequence of what the players do.
A lot of it has to do with him being in the CHL. There is strong bias toward NTDP players.

If it were up to Canadians... Hockey would only exist inside the boundaries of Canada and Canada would play Canada in a Canadian arena filled with only Canadians built by Canadians paid for by money from ticket sales from previous games consisting of said Canada vs Canada matchups. 
I'm completely jealous TBH. I wish any tournament was as big in the US.

Shocker!
So you will be over on the US Roster thread later to tell us more ?
Russia is doing a really good job of not making risky plays, they always have a forward high just in case of a turnover they always have 3 guys back negating any type of odd man rush. In the D-zone they're kind of playing zone coverage allowing shots from the point but nothing down low. U.S is really having a hard time dealing with it, not doing anything on the rush at all.
