This is the first time this version of Korea faces actual NHL quality players. It could end up with some big numbers. Hopefully McD can pot a few, WHC scoring race is his for the taking.

It looks like the all-star game ... Caanada just cruising, scoring at will, Korea not really able to play defense.

Honestly I will turn off and wait for the Swe game. This is too slow.

I don't blame the crowd from staying away, the hockey is pretty lame.

Were former Oilers Alex Plante, Bryan Young, and Brock Radunske playing for Korea?

Oooh Larsson joining the rush and with a great chance to put Swe up 3-0.
Lots of playing time and looking good out there.

Haha, Larsson with a great chance short-handed dangling (!!!) through with Cze D with speed and a near miss.

Drai was getting ripped in the intermission for lazy back checking and not picking up a man in his zone, something he did a lot in the 2nd half of the season, really hope this is not a habit that is going to start being prevalent in his game.

The season went to shit so his effort dropped. Happens a lot to a lot of good players.

They can rip him all they want but he has points on 4/5 of Germany's goals.

I love Drai and he’s pretty much the German team who I’m pulling for after canada being half german/Canadian. if your being honest can you honestly say you didn’t see that same effort out of him 20+ times in second half of season? ... I know I know players effort drop once eliminated but at 8.5/yr it should happen so often.

I have little worry when games are meaningful in spring Drai won’t coast but the more often he does it the harder a habit it is to break once he can’t get away with it.
