Tournament’s underway in Moncton and Halifax. Switzerland already upset Finland 3-2 in overtime, and right now, it’s Sweden-Austria. Lysell’s looked good against a rough Austrian squad, with a couple of shots and a drawn penalty.
My first thought when I saw the score was Argentina/Saudi Arabia in the World Cup.Should've saved that upset for the knockouts
This year's NHL draft lottery will be one of the most anticipated ones ever.Connor Bedard certainly seems to be cementing his position as the number one pick in the draft in this tournament. Has been amazing so far in this tournament. Also has 13 pts in the last two games.
He has 19 points in 20 games playing against grown men in the AHL. I’m not worried about his production in this tournament.Bedard now has a whopping 18 points after 4 games. 6 goals and 12 assists.
And he doesn’t turn 18 until next July.
He’s looking like a future star on the level of Crosby and McDavid.
I’m surprised there aren’t more NHL teams tanking hard.
Lysell turns 20 in a few weeks and has yet to register a point in the tournament.
Disappointing, but hopefully he tallies some points in the playoff rounds.
I'd say running up points against stumblebums is not what great players do per se and tells me nothing other than he's way more talented than those players (which we all knew).Isn’t that what great players do though?
He’s one of the youngest players in the tournament, and has more than double anyone else’s point total.
And all the other players in the tournament play against the Latvias and Austrias and have the same opportunity against the weaker teams.
He plays a solid all around game, and really interviews quite well for a kid who is 17. I think he’ll be a star in the NHL and seems the type who can handle the pressures that come with stardom.
Gamecenter showed 3-3 then took one off the board for U.S. offsides?Lol wut?
I actually think US has outplayed Canada. Canada has just buried their chances, and the USA team has been on the bad side of some puck luck, some bounces, and some referee decisions.After jumping out to a 2-0 lead, Canada has been completely outplaying the US and is up 3-2 early in the 2nd. Gotta wake up
The 2nd USA goal disallowed was unarguably the right call. I didn't see the first one.I actually think US has outplayed Canada. Canada has just buried their chances, and the USA team has been on the bad side of some puck luck, some bounces, and some referee decisions.
Neither did the refs!I didn't see the first one.
Real goalie duel I see.
Straight filth on the backhand for birthday boy Shane Wright.

I taught a Czech kid who played in Saskatoon. Maybe the best natural athlete I have seen. He went from never having thrown a football before to 40 yard lazers in about 5 minutes.It was just an awesome hockey game. Congrats to both teams!! Interesting that 13 of the Czechs play major junior in Canada.
