  • Really wished the Czech had a chance to play the Swiss or Russians - I think they would have easily handled them. Too bad the format does not allow that. As for the US, yes, there is a lot of shift extension and it seems to be more of a collection of individuals than a team. They have enough talent that it does not matter except when they play Canada. Wonder if that does not get cleaned up if it will impact what the Olympic roster will look like.

    • Agree 100% on Czechs not getting a chance to play for 5th place. They were clearly the 3rd or 4th best team there with the Finns and Mueller hurt and now would appear destined to Tier B status next year at the worlds and/or at the Olympics.

      • My bad, Czech did have a chance to play for 5th but they lost to Japan for that opportunity yesterday and will finish 7th. A great tourney none the less and we hope to see them again soon taking a shot at that top tier...

        • Not sure of how stats run in this tournament but why does Canada get the shorter turnaround time for the gold medal game ? Didn’t they finish first in their division ?

            Are they selling tickets? Usually, they schedule the host nation in prime time to maximize revenue.

              Nobody in person, but TV ratings...

              • Sad that they’re not allowing fans except family into an event like this. Not sure what the rink holds, but at least allow half capacity, masks mandatory and must be double-vaccinated. I believe a CFL football game in Calgary had fans a little while ago (not 100% sure of this). I just don’t get it

                    Nice long read about ARD, that was published a few days ago.

                    • Canada wins tonight and ends the USA's reign at Worlds 3-2 in OT. The Canadians deserved it. The US jumped out to a 2-0 lead at the end of the first period, then Canada basically owned the game after that. USA looked lost in OT, like they had never bothered practicing for a 3-on-3 overtime situation. Give Canada credit, they wanted it more, and went out and earned it.

                      • Great goal from Poulin to end it. Well deserved win.

                          • So happy to see Canada win. Overtime, again. Poulin, again. Incredible.

                            • 3 on 3 is not hockey. Yuck.

                              3 monkeys could have coached the US team to a silver medal. Shoulda started Rigsby LOL.

                              So they just blow the horn during live play to end the game when no goal was indicated by the ref's on the ice? Seriously? These people are worse than the wwcha refs. How is that possible? 3 monkeys could have made a better decision than that.

                              Nice shot on the game winner though it was never called a goal.

                                Yeah Watts a joke. Another slap in the face for Women's hockey.
