Shoot - made a mistake on the original post. Medal Rounds are Sunday, Jan 5th.
Early games are RUS 2-2 CZE after one, and SUI 2-1 KAZ in the second.

Wishing Johnny and Cam just come back healthy and ready to play in Yost in a few weeks. Mel can’t afford to lose any young talent from this years squad.
December 26th, 2019 at 11:48 AM ^
Incredible - the host Czechs upset the Russians 4-3!
December 26th, 2019 at 12:32 PM ^
Go Canada - Beat USA!!!!
(Am currently in Arizona with all my family who came down from Western Canada - all the day's activities were set based on us being able to watch the game - we have our priorities right!)
December 26th, 2019 at 1:02 PM ^
Boo this man! USA! USA! USA!
December 26th, 2019 at 12:40 PM ^
I hope the USA scores more goals than their opponents.

Pretty amazing to score on the PP and make the other team pay for their penalties.
December 26th, 2019 at 2:03 PM ^
FUCK! They score. 2-1 USA.
No one covering the scorer.
December 26th, 2019 at 2:08 PM ^
Crap. On the PK.
December 26th, 2019 at 2:08 PM ^
Canadian fan here. USA has looked hella scary. Canada had a decent run in the middle of the 1st period but USA has been the better team. Glad we could get it within 1 though!
December 26th, 2019 at 4:20 PM ^
Meh.
Five on Five Canada was definitely better. Power Play for USA is excellent.
Thus, avoid the box.
December 26th, 2019 at 2:10 PM ^
Damn, that was quick. PPG, 2-2.
December 26th, 2019 at 2:18 PM ^
D'OH! PK again.
December 26th, 2019 at 2:20 PM ^
ARGH! PPG them, 3-2.
December 26th, 2019 at 2:26 PM ^
FFS, stay out of the damn box!
December 26th, 2019 at 2:31 PM ^
Phew, penalty killed.
December 26th, 2019 at 2:34 PM ^
GOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!
PPG!!! 3-3
December 26th, 2019 at 2:36 PM ^
FUCK! Waved off.
December 26th, 2019 at 3:10 PM ^
Dammit, another PPG for them, 4-2.
December 26th, 2019 at 3:14 PM ^
GOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!
4-3 them. 7:14 left.
December 26th, 2019 at 3:15 PM ^
And highsticking on them.
December 26th, 2019 at 3:18 PM ^
No joy. Under 5 min.
December 26th, 2019 at 3:22 PM ^
3:44, USA PP.
December 26th, 2019 at 3:23 PM ^
GOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!
4-4!!!!
Pinto's on fire!
December 26th, 2019 at 3:24 PM ^
Are you fuckin' kidding me?! They score, 5-4 them.
December 26th, 2019 at 3:24 PM ^
Oh no...
December 26th, 2019 at 3:24 PM ^
Delayed stream :(
December 26th, 2019 at 3:26 PM ^
LAFRENIERE
Sidenote: as a Leafs fan living in Michigan, I hope/dont hope that the Wings get Lafreniere. I want him to go there because hes a talent and I'd be able to watch him easily. I'd not want because the Leafs would have to face him multiple times a year.
December 26th, 2019 at 4:21 PM ^
Go Leafs Go
December 26th, 2019 at 3:29 PM ^
Welp. Empty netter for them. 6-4.
December 26th, 2019 at 3:30 PM ^
Tourignay may have saved the game for us by acting like an OF and robbing a HR
December 26th, 2019 at 3:32 PM ^
Yeah that was BS and should've been a penalty.
Oh well. Hopefully USA gets a rematch with these turds later in the tourney!
December 26th, 2019 at 3:45 PM ^
I don't disagree! Would love to see a rematch!
If Canada flames out, I'm definitely rooting for USA for a couple reasons:
A. Living here, duh
B. Beecher from Michigan
C. Robertson Leafs prospect

Also, shoutout hearing Dellandrea's name called many times today. Flint Firebirds player.
Miss when they were in Plymouth but still gotta support them!
