Oops, forgot they were playing! Norway had the lead after P1. 3-2. Czechia came back to win. Good outcome for the locals and comeback wins are always nice. Enjoy the trip - Give the cameras a wee wave.

Skinner isn’t going anywhere. If he’s as bad as some make out who’s taking him? Buyout for him is not viable this year. Skinner will start the season as a top 6 forward.

This Norway v Czechia game is something.

Yeah, Rob Lachowicz. Good guy. Hard worker.

Decent game from GB. Liam Kirk is a star - hope he makes the transition to Utah. Byram was good, Cozens and Power didn’t really stand out. Bunting is arse. Slashing players all game, then looks like he’s been shot when O’Connor laid the shoulder into him.

Power needs to toughen up. When GB are getting more physical he’s making more mistakes.

GB are running out of gas. The adrenaline has worn off Didn’t realise Guenther was as big as he is.

Dang. Hagel and now Bedard with goals. 2 more for Canada.

Survived the bench pen. Went on PK again. Then cozens called for high stick. When GB had their 30s PP Kirk steps up for opener. Get in. Dang. Bunting with the quick reply. Assisted by Bo Byram

Booooo terrible interference call chops off GB opener.

SHG and and ENG to give Sweden a convincing win

Brock Nelson with a goal for USA. They have wakened up.

My tv is playing up. 3-1. Missed the US goal, but caught Ex sabre Marcus Johansson with Sweden’s third. The US look half asleep

2-0 Sweden, Raymond. Lyon leaving high blocker open. Seth Jones doing a nice screen on his own gt.

Oops. Got my times mixed up. Missed the first period of Sweden USA. Highlights have favoured the swedes. Look slicker than the US team. 1-0 Sweden at first intermission - Joel Eriksson Ek. Minor deflection on the shot.

Maybe this will alter some views….

Friedman reckons he could be a buyout candidate

Current roster has 4 North American born players listed. They have spent time in EIHL. Not as many as I’d thought though.

Am I reading nhl.com correctly…. Round two will begin before round 1 is over??

Seems the Skinner hate is getting traction. Is he the most complete player on the team? No. But I don’t think the hate is justified. I think he will come out and surprise people under Lindy. I don’t think he is the the kind of player to be happy and sit in the press box. About 20 goals before Christmas. Mark it.

I don’t even realise they’d did that. Was just figuring out how to keep score when I run out of fingers and toes 😀

My band’s set from last weekend. I’m the fat guy in the blue and white football shirt.

Or we acquire an unprotected 1st rounder…….

I’ll not bore everyone with the GB roster, lol. We’re plucky! Canadia announced today:
