Norway beat Kazakstan 3-1 So Canada just need to beat Finland to get to the quarters!!

Not a lot of teams that I really care about TOR-MTL - hope Leafs get beat and then Mtl gets beat by the Jets. Just so the press go mental and rip Toronto a new one. CAR-TBL - "don't really like either team, but would prefer CAR pound TBL into the ice." - same TD the same BOS-NYI - dislike Boston, well Marchand mostly, and I always liked the Isles so hope they win COL-VGK - Not really a fan of either team but Colorado is the best out West and probably deserve the win and Vegas should not be allowed a cup for at least 10 years as new organisation!! COL - JETS CAR - NYI COL- NYI and NYI to win it are my preferences but I think it will be Boston and Colorado in the final.

Mangipane lighting up the Italians with 2G 2A through 2 periods. 6-1 to Canada at the moment. Shame Canada probably does not make the quarters. Unless Kazakstan loses to Norway and they win their last game against Finland their hopes to through are poor

Mangipane with 1G and 1A as Canada wins it second to go 2-3 in the tourney

Suprised they are going back to Smitty at 40. Yeah he had a good season but still 40 for a goalie? Wear on his body must tell some day after 15 years in the NHL. But on the flipside he is only 43rd in games played as a goalie in the NHL. So might be some more in him.

Mangipane with a game winning goal as Canada get their first win agaisnt Norway 4-2.

By the time we got to games do not matter apparently Tanev was already healed. It was 7/8 weeks ago that he took that injury.

Yes Mangeipane cannot play yet. Bit of a shocker to see GBR with more points than Canada after 3 games! But the world will correct itself

As fans we just look at the Fox thing as a loss because he has turned into a good D. We barely mention Erixon now as he only ended up playing 90 odd HL games even though we drafted him 1st round

Larry FF52 you would have loved last nights game. Jets with the sweep of the Oilers. 3 OT games and a 3OT in game 4 for the Jets to get it done.

was a great game. got to give Smitty his dues he had a bounce back year. Well done Jets

Probably why we will not be a bottom feeder next year with the current roster.

As fans we probably overplayed that a bit. I loved Bh for his pressers they were pure gold. Coaching wise was his 4 glorious years at Colorado down to the coaching or the players he had? Hard to be a good coach on a crappy team.

JJ it's not going to happen as much as you want it to. Pacific is too weak for us to bottom out. Monahan is not going to grab you much in return having a down year or two and being injured. Gio is not going anywhere unless he wants to move. Gaudreau wants to stay apparently but do the managment want him? You should not move Lindholm when he is on such a good contract in a flat cap world. The only real trade chip you have in the forwards to get anything half decent back is Chucky. I agree you do not move Mangeipane. I can see them standing still with the D. Would not surprise me to see Stone back on a minimum contract 1 way as 5/6D Is Mackey good enough to cement a spot next year so you can move one of Valimaki, Andersson or Hanifin? Not saying I want to just looking at what trade chips we might have from the players.

Also shows that perhaps we started seeing the buy in to Sutters system. But I cannot see BT staying pat and giving this lot another chance. I think he gave them some rope after the bubble but he has got to be seen to do something this off season. Not sure how deep it will go though.

Yes BH still coach of Latvia

looking at this Canadian team Mangipane is going to be a vet on it!!

Bob is there! Good ol Bob. Loved his interviews always good for a laugh.

like any work situation. You get on with some people you dislike others. You are professional, deal with it and carry on.

Yeah I realised it was 6 weeks out of date after I posted. Still trying to get my head around the stats but from what I can see it looks like Gio actually bounced back toward the back end of the season. Probably as a result of playing with Tanev. The worying stats appear to be Andersson's down year.

With regard to Gio I found this. https://thewincolumn.ca/2021/04/08/chris-tanev-or-mark-giordano-who-should-the-calgary-flames-expose-in-the-expansion-draft/

Would not be suprised to see Stone back. Age is relative as far as I am concerned. Andersson should have learnt a lot this year and Hanafin looked much improved this year.

Do the advanced stats support Gio's possible decline people are talking about? He comes back every year as one of top 2 fittest players.
