Asunto: Team Canada Hockey

UN. REAL! Vancouver was off-the-hook Saturday night!

Should be Poland then Serbia, then Russia in the next round.

Canada moves on with a perfect 6/6 points

Huge win today! Tierney was the difference!

A shutout for Tierney, a goal for Marker, a great effort from Thatcher, and we used mik's favourite tactics. Can't wait to see what he says about this game.

"Now if only we could rename them the Team Canada Stippers!"

We're in the playoff round now!!

Gotta keep getting these dubs!

Is that a for sure? We _could_ still finish 3-2...

Russia has to play Slovakia. So there will be one of those two teams that cannot finish with 9 pts.

It's for sure, a five way tie of team's with 9 points each is impossible.

yeah, sorry was just doing math in my head now... noticed that slovakia has to play russia. w00t, good job, TMO!

Great performance of Team Canada so far. And being already qualified with 2 games to play is a good bonus for either energy conservation or getting a better position at the end

No matter who we play it'll be tough. We can keep winning and saving energy that is obvs. ideal

Canadian Magic Continues

Canada is on the right path to the quarter-finals, beating another favourite yesterday, the Russian behemoth. And Tierney, the North American goalie, recorded a shutout. The home team has also secured a spot in the play-offs expediently.

Canada has been a great surprise, taking the maximum number of points to the qualifying stage, as it only lost to a team playing the relegation group. On the other hand, the Russians are rather shaky and haven't as yet shown the full strength of Siberian tigers. Who would expect Canada to win today? I wouldn't. And I was wrong once again. The Canadians entered the game - and it's already something expected at this tournament - with very low game importance. But once again, this didn't limit the performance of the players wearing a maple leaf on their jerseys. Canada opened scoring in the 15th minute, with a power play goal by William Beliveau, and increased its lead four minutes later. Russia dispatched more shots at the Canadian goalie in the course of the whole game, but Noah Tierney was fantastic. The match saw a total of three goals, all in the net of the Russian netminder. Another incredible win for Canada, which is at the top of Qualifying Group 1!
