I'm glad that there will be 50% capacity fans later on. That period was dry. Still glad that the tournament is (basically) starting.

Any update on scores in the other pre tournament games ?

Pretty entertaining period, the Finns completely controlled and dominated the play the first half of the period. Missing the fans atmosphere sucks but understandable for pre-tournament games.

Americans were the better team in the 2nd half.

Junior hockey is awesome, the momentum swings and ups and downs make the WJC the best annual hockey tournament from an entertainment perspective and pure love of the sport the kids play with for their countries.

Nice saves by the Fin goalie.

Lambert looks a lot better this year than last year in my opinion. Really liked him so far this game

Falling asleep, some scoring chances would be nice.

His skating is really impressive but it still seems to be a lot of skating around in circles without actually getting the puck to dangerous areas in the offensive zone.

So Czechs-Swiss cancelled due to Covid. Not good.

This Knies kid is growing on me.

Bad vibes abound.

This Knies kid is growing on me.

He is very confident and got lots of fight to his game. Pretty exciting prospect for to keep tabs on as a Leaf fan.

Couldn't disagree more to be honest. His skating has definitely gotten better, but he's skating in circles more than last year which is really just leading to him being more inefficient. He also seems to love skating himself out of scoring positions for some reason

I guess so, just comparing him to last year as I haven’t watched him since. Kemell hasn’t really done anything either, Lambert has been the better of the 2 so far

One player tested positive but there's also alot of false positives around what's the % chance of false positives on the type of tests they using on players ?

 

[McDrai]

US runs the goalie a lot it seems

They do happen but they are all being tested atleast once a day. False positives would be figured out pretty quickly.

A bit of a snoozer through two, neither team seem to be able to get any prolonged offensive pressure so far.
