With how many LHD Canada has, I’m shocked Brandt Clarke didn’t make this team.

Just had a nice pass to Bedard. Had a nice play earlier to Johnson too who missed an open net
He has been unusually passive though. Usually he's the guy with the puck on his stick but he has been deferring a lot. His line with Johnson and Foerster has no chemistry whatsoever though. He seems to be playing the bumper/net front position a lot which is unusual for him too, and they don't seem to use the players who go there
Except that they are still producing talent including the top 2 picks in the 2022 draft.
Fact is Slovakia has a proven hockey program that has consistently produced talent for decades they belong because they have proven they have proven they belong 1 bad beating doesn't change that.
Latvia hasn't proven anything for decades they don't belong

They don’t need or want him there. Whatever the reasoning is it’s clear they don’t miss him

I think Canada is doing the right here by going for 10. Slovakia has been taking cheap shots all game and played dirty and uncontrolled. I say embarrass them on the ice, which is exactly what is happening.

So, once again, you don't actually care how competitive the team on the ice is, you just care about some trivial judgment call of "belonging". Sound logic. Except for one thing.

I swear, if some posters had their way, the "world juniors" would be a seven-game series between Canada and Russia every year or something, and every other country would get kicked out.

There is Roy’s goal. He has played much better away from Bedard.

I like the sportsmanship by Ostapchuk after crashing into the Goalie & giving him a tap to apologize.
I can't imagine who would really want that. Russia is by no means a hands-down top team year over year. Look at Finland, Sweden and USA who don't take a back seat to Russia at all when it comes to what I think of as consistently high quality Junior programs.
Maybe I just don't get the gist of your comment.
I'm passive-aggressively commenting on the argument about whether Latvia belongs at the tournament or not.
