Sandin took a slash to the arm and left the ice in pain. Pray.

Saw it, not good. Let's hope they kept him out for precautionary reasons. Apparently he leads the Swedes in ice time.

Results for Tuesday Dec. 31st

Team Canada ramped up seven goals including four power play goals (tying a WJHC record in the process) to whip Team Czech Republic by a score of 7-2.

A four- point game from Barrett Hayton & Dylan Cozens, including Joe Veleno’s three points were the contributors on the scoreboard.  Canada proved too much to handle for the Czechs offensively.

Canada will now play Slovakia in the Quarter-Final.

Fantastic save by Hofer!

Not sure that Foote penalty was correct.

That's a pretty tough one. It's basically 5 and a game for being tall when the other guy is short. I don't think that ought to be a penalty at all.

just got home from work (it's like 3-0 atm)
Is Lafreniere playing? Haven't seen him/heard his name yet but they were saying yesterday he was back?

Ray and Gord are so, so good at keeping the broadcast interesting even when the game is a complete write-off.

That was a heck of a game by the Finns. Nothing flashy...just relentless work ethic for a 1-0 win to advance to the semi-final. If Sweden wins their game I think Canada gets Finland next which could be a very tough game.

Yeah, if Sweden wins, Canada gets Finland
If the Czech Republic win, Canada gets them
