    I know, that's why I'm cheering for Slovakia. Because then the Russkies finish 4th and play Sweden. I'd be thrilled with our bracket being the Swiss, and then the winner of Denmark-Slovakia.

      The hit did have some CTH, the 5 and game was warranted.

      A part of me wants Canada to play a very peculiarly good Denmark team; they may actually pull out a surprise.

      It'd be VERY interesting if Sweden has to play Russia; NEVER bet against the Rooskies in the medal round; they are always VERY strong.

              I've seen the replay about a dozen times now. I still don't see the CTH, although I'm fine saying that per the IIHF interference rules, that is a five minute major and a game.

                5 Wild draftees in the tournament correct?

                  I must be missing one. Kunin, Greenway, Eriksson Ek and Kaprizov are all I recall.
                  That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

                    My count may have been off. Thanks.

                      Yeah, don't rely on me. Maize and others know better than me.

                            Russia vs. Denmark at 1:00 in Toronto
                            Sweden vs. Slovakia at 3:30 in Montréal
                            USA vs. Switzerland at 5:30 in Toronto

                            The winner of SWE-SVK will play the winner of CAN-CZE, and the winners of USA-SUI and RUS-DEN will play each other.

                              Hit by Kunin was a hockey hit...period but by IIHF rules they see it different along with Team Canada...not surprised "IF" Kunin gets at least 1 game suspension and wouldn't be surprised either if they give him the boot for the rest of the WJC's. But my view and that's after watching it over and over was a hockey hit and nothing about what he did was to hurt Meyers...except to ring his bell and let him know that they pack enough in a small body as well as a big body.
