NHL 2021: I Pledge Allegiance to Gritty

I went to bed after the first period of the Battle of Alberta. I thought what happened in the first period alone was crazy enough.

But then when I read what happened in the rest of the game ... 9-6! In a playoff game! That's insane.

Update on ASU/Coyotes logos. The Coyotes logo will be on the ice (where was not stated), but the ASU logo cannot be digitally suppressed during Coyotes broadcasts.

This is going to be more fun than the Orioles/Nationals dispute over MASN.

Assuming ASU has sponsors for the usual four spots at center ice, the only other spot would be behind the net since they’re going to tv ads at the blue line now.
 
US is closer to the knockout round for the IIHF worlds after an OT win against Sweden. They’re five points up on the two teams tied for fifth, but Norway has a game in hand and still plays the US for a chance at direct points.

Has anyone found what they’re going to do with Russia and Belarus when they’re (eventually, I’d assume) reinstated to the IIHF? Do they slot them into their current level and just expand the tournament or do double relegation that year, or are they going to make them start at Division IV and destroy everyone for multiple years like they did with Slovakia in the 90s?

It's going to be a long time before we need to worry about that.

Is Serbia any good? They may end up in that category. Kazakhstan may too.

Serbia is 30th and was relegated to Division 2A after finishing last in 1B this year.

Really Slovenia is the only decent former Yugoslavian hockey country.

Slovenia - 19th and they'll be in the Championship division next year
Serbia - 30th and Division 2A next year after relegation
Croatia - 31st and Division 2A next year after finishing third in the division this year
Bosnia - 49th and relegated to Division IV next year after finishing last in division 3B


Kosovo, Montenegro, and North Macedonia don't have teams.
