Even I have to admit Canada going all 14-0 on a Denmark is some super villain tier stuff. Like bad guy team in Mighty Ducks even. Canada doesn't seem to face a realistic challenge in this pool outside of Russia on the 31st I've noticed as well. Also Mikey DiPietro sounds like the name of a Sopranos character.

The 3 Keys for US success against Kazakhstan NHL.com article just seems condescending somehow. Like gee I wonder who is going to possibly win that game and by what margin of no less than 5 goals exactly.

I love how Canada either still just chokes in the quarters or wins the whole tournament without losing a single game. No intermediary result. Losing to Finland in OT in a low scoring game isn't too bad, but I can't say I had expected it to be them either. If they were going to get bounced by anyone I would have figured it to be Sweden, USA or Russia in that order of likeliest to least likely. They also haven't been by far and away the best team in the Juniors in years (lately I'd say Sweden seems to bring the strongest looking teams on paper), it's so much more even between the top 4 these days.

Anyway considering Sweden also got bounced early says a lot about the state of this tournament and how any team has a realistic chance of beating any team now unless they're Kazakhstan or Denmark. United States had some close games against Slovakia and Czech Republic too.
