Sucks for... North Korea.

 

[AdamCalderHero]

Predicted goal difference for Great Britain this year? Its super cool that they made it, and that these guys are gonna go up against the best, but look out....

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Who are the non-drafted prospects taking part? Just Hughes and Kakko?

23-year-old defenseman Oliwer Kaski is signing with some NHL team for next season (we just don't know which one yet) and he'll be there for Finland.

 

[Hennessy]

I can't remember the last time I saw Great Britain in the WC.

Edit: 1994? And if so, that was also an anomoly.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Potential Avalanche-owned players going?

Frankie?

I think there is no way Avs let their 3rd goalie go in the middle of the playoffs.

 

[Foppa Frossa]

I think Kaut is going, no?

 

[henchman21]

Players join late all the time... if the Avs get knocked out this round, I think we could see a number head over. If the Avs advance, I'd bet almost nobody heads over.

 

[avsfan09]

Glorious nation of Kazakhstan win much medal

 

[Pokecheque]

Alan Hepple should consider suiting up for GBR

 

[UncleRisto]

Glorious nation of Kazakhstan win much medal

Unlike assholes Uzbekistan.

I'll be watching because I like seeing countries who haven't made it in a long time like Hungry, GB, and Korea have done. However, I hope this thread is dead since it means that Avs made the Conference Finals.

 

[AvsFan29]

First time in over a decade where I won't be watching or caring!

 

[Avs_19]

No Avs (so far) and dropping in the lottery means I won't be paying much attention for the first time in a while.

 

[avsfan09]

Unlike *******s Uzbekistan.

We must crush them for their Gypsy trickery

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Is Canada’s roster full? Hoping Makar and Jost get an invite.

 

[Foppa Frossa]

"Leafs centre John Tavares sustained an oblique injury in preparation for the World Championships. Tavares will return to Toronto for further evaluation by the Leafs medical staff and a further update will follow in the coming days."

 

[UncleRisto]

Apparently Finland's forward lines are

Toni Rajala - Arttu Ilomäki - Veli-Matti Savinainen
Harri Pesonen - Sakari Manninen - Kaapo Kakko
Joel Kiviranta - Eetu Luostarinen - Niko Ojamäki
Jere Sallinen - Juho Lammikko - Marko Anttila.

I'm EXCITED, guys!

 

[Avs_19]

I love how they word these.

 

[UncleRisto]

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

I love how they word these.

Zads needs to raise his profile to the point where Putin is calling him personally to summon him to the senior ranks.

 

[S E P H]

I love how they word these.

Surprised because you'd think he had a bum shoulder going to the lockerroom like four times through the season.

 

[Avs_19]

Is Canada’s roster full? Hoping Makar and Jost get an invite.

I'm an Avs fan who cheers for Canada so that'd be cool but I also think it'd be amusing if Makar turned them down again. Dreger and the other dopes wouldn't be happy at all.
