Forsberg, Arvidsson and Ekholm will join the Swedish WC team. DLR is apparently happy to be on the same team as Forsberg again, they are good friends since their time together in Leksand.
That is a heck of a boost for Sweden.

At least now we have a chance for gold, with 2 decent lines. Supposedly Hörnqvist is excepted to join as well so we can have a gritty player standing in front of the goal (Arvidsson is decent when it comes to that too). It should probably be between Canada, Sweden and the US. Russia haven't been very good lately even if they started this tournament well and the Czechs can beat anyone on their day but haven't been to a final for a while.

They have the goalie as the scorer of the overtime winner
The true overtime scorer was Zibanejad.

That’s all any Flame did the last 10 or so games of the season. It was a banged up, tired team.

The refs look weird with their cams, bit like a futuristic film.
Canada getting demolished by the Finns.
Goaltending is going to be our kryptonite.

Yep. They literally handed the win to Finland. Great battle by the Finns in the 2nd period and especially on the PK but the WTF moments of the Canadian goalies were what really cost the team the win.
As for the Habs in this tournament, not a lot to follow. Haven't seen any Sweden games so can't tell how DLR has been but I doubt he's had a big role in the team, especially now that their offense got even deeper. Pleks has been great (still consider him as a Hab).

Eisenschmid just scored an OT winner for Germany against Finland. As a Finn, it's obviously embarrassing, but good for him.

Kuemper when on his game can be a game changer, Marc Edouard Vlasic & Brent Burns on defence could change the fortunes of Team Canada in short order, IMHO. Canadians can be proud of all these young patriots, foregoing their personal time to represent our Country. All my best to each player/coach, etc. whose volunteered unselfishly in defending our claims as a world power in Hockey.

Somewhere in Quebec, Sylvain Lefebrve was watching and telling everyone around him that he's the one who developed that kid.

Sweden is up 2-1 against Russia after 2nd. The loser will face Canada due to the other group strange results with Finland beating both Canada and the US but losing to Germany and Denmark and other weird results.

Watching this Russia Sweden game makes me really wish the habs would take home run swings on players who have actual talent a la Kaprizov. We seem to be taking the big swings at the balls in the dirt.
