I would think it would be a perfect warm up prior to training camp. Surprising if he doesn't play.

How much practice did they even have?? Didn't Julien break his ribs and show up to China the day before tourney started?

I'm Canadian and I hope they do too.

How many have I given out alone?!

Link not working?

Quite the opposite.

Any update on Quinn's progress?

Was listening to Biron and Duffer talking about how they thought the us womens approach to goaltending was flawed and it should help the Canadians in the finals having had one goalie to rely on. Not my opinion but it was interesting.

I was hoping Canadian goaltender would let in a couple softies with them way up but didn’t happen.

Now you're just trolling @Thorny

Power leads Canada in ice time after 1 period.

Power on Canada's top pairing to begin their pursuit of gold.

Levi is third goaltender and won't be dressed for Canada's first game 😞

I feel like he’s a bit of a forgotten pick. Especially considering he was a first rounder. Hope they can sign him after the college season.

Listening to that was a breath of fresh air compared to Dunleavy.

God I hope so. We deserve nice things too!!

Completely agree. To be glass half full there finally seems to be a real prospect pool coming up right now. We didn’t utilize Eichel but we luckily didn’t lose him for nothing either. I’m hopeful this second rebuild around Dahlin/Power / young forward core including Thompson, Mits and Cozens already in the show / nice number of 1st and 2nd round picks over next two drafts. Heck even our goaltending prospects show legit promise. Until proven on the big stage they are just magic beans but this time we have way more chances and an opportunity to add a lot of depth if our much improved front office can nail some of these future moves. Almost zero cap issues. Slate is clean and finally reason for some hopeium.

Big test for the kids tonight but come on NorCal there is most certainly shame. Let’s figure out how to sting some wins together. Let’s Go Buffalo!!!!!!

I like the makeup of these young guys. Different types with different skill sets. We have the skilled playmakers in Mitts and Krebs, scorer in Quinn. I’m very pleased knowing we also have that 2-way C you can throw out there with a one goal lead late in the game. Cozens is a nice player and I’m excited to see what he becomes with this new core.

Who’s staying up for this one??

Agreed. The lineup looking much better then paper lineup at start of year. But we still have a Bjork on the first line??

For sure but nice seeing him pop a couple goals today. If he can add 18 to 20 goals a year on top of the assists that should hopefully come, that’s a hell of a player.

I mean, me too. But Thompson legitimately gives me pause in thinking it.
