Is there an article that lists games and air times of all the U-18 games that TSN is broadcasting?
 
Yes as per the Slovak federation there should be a stream on the IIHF website from all games in addition to the games being televised in Slovakia, Finland, Canada and I think some other countries as well.

Also, an interesting tidbit, the game between Slovakia and Canada is already sold out.
Correct me if I'm wrong, as I understand there shold be a stream from all Slovakia games but not all the games of the championship.

So the streams on the IIHF website are geo-blocked, awesome.

"Note: The live stream is intended at countries without a broadcast partner and games may be geo-blocked in countries with broadcast agreements in place."

Not sure what this is supposed to mean as no Czech TV channel is broadcasting these games anyway (and isn't planning to broadcast any other games).

That's odd, shoot a mail to IIHF asking then for the reason.
 
For those able to watch, I would be interested in updates regarding observations/thoughts on Miro Heiskanen with Finland and Timothy Liljegren with Sweden over the course of the tournament.
 
good game for the US today.

took a bit to get going, sluggish start plus 4 penalties against didn't help.

overall this team is well balanced and should be in the medal game again. not a top guy to carry the load, but each line has skill and grit.

top players today for me: - 1. Barratt 2. Wahlstrom 3. Farrance 4. Farabee 5. Tkachuk

Barratt was everywhere out there, always involved.
Wahlstrom just oozes skill and a heck of a shot as well
Farrance has the wheels and vision to be a top player - great showing for him
Farabee could be the best of this entire bunch, very impressed with his skill/balance
Tkachuk looks like another star in the making, does everything extremely well
 
Canada Latvia was interesting.

I liked Smirnovs and Egle for Latvia. The Latvian goalie, Rauza, was great as well. I was wondering how Smirnovs was playing in this tournament but I had him confused for the Russian OA playing in the NCAA.

For Canada, none of the 99s looked that great. Comtois was throwing his weight around and had some chances but nothing special. Ratcliffe looked great and then made a bad turnover that led to Latvia's goal. My favorite Canadians were definitely the 00s, Woo and Thomas in particular. Woo had one shift where he was unstoppable.

I don't know how much you can take away from this game, because Canada's D never once hesitated to pinch in at the blueline. They did not fear Latvia's transition game at all.

I just tried both SWE-RUS and SVK-FIN games and the first one is working, although no sound. The second one is geoblocked. Hopefully games with Czechs will work...:help:

TV station CT sport should have just gotten the rights and there would be no need for streams. Really dissapointed me they haven't.
