I'm tardy in starting this thread and it's late so I'll be brief and just touch briefly on the Canada-USA games.
In the first Pre-Tournament game Canada beat USA 5-3.
In the second one USA beats Canada 4-0 with goals scored by Janecky, Dunne, Simms & Bilka.
 
Tournament starts tomorrow. Given the change in format some first round games could potentially be blowouts. IIHF has a mess to deal with regarding ruling on including Russia for future tournaments.

Unless the a team is doping their players up, they should not be banned from competition for political reasons. Politics and sports shall not cross paths.

"Unless a team is doping their players up." Odd. I seem to recall something regarding doped up athletics and Russia.

If you think that politics and sports don't intersect, you really haven't been paying attention for the last century and a half.
 
Well the IIHF the got their way and forced their ugly jerseys on Canada and USA. It all comes down to money of course. The IIHF has the authority to approve team's jersey designs and now because of that they have decided they have the commercial rights to the Jersey's as well and signed a contract with Team Hockey. Team Canada and Team USA strongly opposed this as they have contracts and sponsorship with their own jersey suppliers and we're adamant the commercial jersey rights belong to them. They capitulated for the Women's Worlds and are wearing those ugly generic jerseys but it looks like this if far from over and will probably become a legal fight. I don't know how much money Team Canada and Team USA are losing with the lost sponsors but it's enough to really piss them off!
 
I haven't kept up with the jersey spat but I thought the USA jerseys looked ... fine? Bit of dissonance between the white numbers on the shoulders and the blue ones on the back, but they didn't look like the practice jerseys I was anticipating. Canada's on the other hand look very generic and blah.
 
It was driving me nuts looking at the US lines with Taylor Fox on there. I was warping my head trying to think of where she came from; maybe she's a young player from some eastern school I had never heard of????? Finally I looked her up on elite prospects and saw she went to Rodentsota. She scored a lot, but I didn't recall the last name. I was just about ready to break out the thinner, then it occurred to me who she was. 🤪 🤪

At least Britta Curl was considerate enough to hyphenate her name.
