2016 World Cup of Hockey

Eh, they still get their big Canada/USA game but you're right. I'm sure they wanted a higher stakes matchup.

It's ripe for a US miracle! Lol, I don't think so.

I don't know why people were sleeping on Team Europe. They're old, but they're good. Halak has been a good international goalie, he's shown he can get hot and carry a team for a stretch.

Russia learning the young boys... for now. 4-1 late in the second. Gibson coming in for Matt Murray.

That game was good for the tournament (other than one team being NA under-23). It was a hell of a game and the Russian effort meant they were taking this seriously.

Dude, Team NA is fun as hell to watch!

The kids almost came back. Hell of a finish! Bob the goalie with some magic at the end and a little help from the post.

Can't wait to see Ghost this year with Philly. That shot from the point and he isn't afraid to let it rip.

USA/Canada tomorrow. Hold on to your junk fellas.

Every NHL team should play the way they do. And there's no reason they can't.

Chelios and Hull were on ESPN ragging on Team USA’s style of play – or lack thereof.
If they are bounced from the playoff round, there’s nobody to blame but Torts who wanted a grinding team. I wouldn’t even be shocked if he’d prefer Kane had been left off the roster.
If Torts was building an NES hockey team, it’d be nothing but fat guys.

Excited for the game tonight. I think USA was looking past Europe to this game, so they'd better bring it tonight.

Hah, Canada is the ONLY team in this tourney to Team USA. That's the problem. So they better handle business or else it's for naught.

Obviously I'm rooting for USA tonight but I hope they pull it out to make Game 3 of round robin play absolutely nuts. Canada wins and it's irrelevant besides for seeding purposes.
