That's a tough loss for the Swedes. Interesting to see how Canada looks against a team from the stronger pool.

This Team Canada may be one of the best Team Canadas that we've ever seen in the WJC so far. Yeah, the numbers are skewed a little bit due to that Germany blowout, but they're downright dominating like I haven't seen in recent memory.

I don't know if I agree with that.

I think the USA is slowly trending towards being the favorite in my opinion.

just putting my country's colors on
while my daddy's gone
at the bar drinking to his son
playing hockey ball
and that's all that's all
winter comes after the fall
and i'm just a kid in a parking lot
taking shot after shot

C-A-N-A-D-A

I renounce my Canadian citizenship

Apparently Askarov is just mud at the WJCs? Haven't seen him play in Russia, but if he's as spazzy there as he is here, I have a hard time understanding the hype.

Even when he was getting results, did not look good getting them.

TBH, he's a young goalie. Just the nature of the position. Look at Knight for USA too.

Forgot the game started a bit early. Going to start watching now. Haven't seen Russia play since the USA game where the US looked like crap.

Askarov having a rough go. Canadian announcers giving him a hard time. Simmer down now. He's 18 and a goalie. It takes time.

And Canada's team is ridiculous.

Askarov is showing why you never draft a goalie with a high draft pick.

They're just way too random. Askarov being crazy athletic doesn't count for anything if he doesn't have the composure to succeed against lower competition. This looks like young Fleury with even less composure.
