Domi was a loving beast in the Finland game. His speed was awesome.

Erik Comrie to start for Canada instead of Fucale

This is pretty surprising. Someone watched that game and didn't take note of the score or the saves, but of Fucale's inability to track the puck. Cool.

Or they know about goaltender performance in back-to-backs.

Though even that's progress, pretty sure they don't normally do that.

It's also somewhat likely that the coaches still haven't decided who's going to be the main starter and want to give Comrie another chance to make his case.

But I'll leave you to your magical dreamworld where Canada won't lose the WJC due to bad goaltending.

Fully expecting Finland to lose against Germany and end up in the relegation round.

Or get absolutely clobbered by the Swedes if they manage to get through.

I'm attaching extra importance to this Canada - US game because it would be so like Russia to lose to the Czechs today and finish 3rd in Group B. That is not a quarterfinal match-up I would want.

Or Canada wins 4-3 in the shootout with Virtanen getting a hat-trick and the shootout winner and Demko making 50 saves.

This game has an interesting dynamic so far, where the US seems to be doing a largely good job at containing Canada's breakout but every now and then Canada gets a good rush and looks absolutely incredible.

Ya. The US has seemed to have more instances of sustained pressure in the offensive zone too, but Demko has had to make more dramatic saves. Fun game.
