NHL 2021: I Pledge Allegiance to Gritty

US blows out Slovakia 6-1. Germany beat Switzerland in a shootout.

US will play either Germany or Canada in the semis depending on the winners of the late games.

Who do the Wings need to blow to get the top pick?!?

I think they’re going to draft a goalie anyway so the pick didn’t hurt them.

I think they’re going to draft a goalie anyway

With their 1st round pick?

I thought that wasn't done unless you were an idiot like Mad Mike.

Oof, what a blowout. US looking strong but I’m always pessimistic in these situations from past history.

They have two first round picks. With the first one I suspect they will pick a goalie. It’s an area of need and there are two good ones in the draft. Of course if there is a skater they absolutely love they would take them instead.

Canada beats Not Russia in OT, Finland beats the Czechs. All four Group A teams lost in the quarterfinals.

US plays Canada, Finland plays Germany in the semifinals.

Canada was under .500 in group play, and now the worst they'll do is 4th.

So WPG 55 got 4 games ...

I'm putting the over/under on suspension at 4.5 games. I think it'll be 4 but I could see 6 to knock him out of this series.

Blind squirrel alert!

US loses to Canada 4-2. Gave up early goals in the first and third.

They'll play either Finland or Germany for third place.

Ugh, one of these days this generation will beat in Canada in a game that matters at the senior level.

[Jimjamesak]

Also, the US’ record at World Championships Semifinals: 0-10.

Should've been a Golden Knight. Would've been a slap on the wrist.

Man, this BOS- NYI series is fun. Seeing the Islanders take a game in Boston was pretty darned entertaining.

And it was not long ago when the Canadian series started 2 games into others, and it can be the first to end tonight.

Oh, and the NHL did get the travel exception. I'm sure everyone saw that.
