I can only hope there's the equivalent of the Syracuse/UNCG feud at Worlds tbh.

I do hope our goalie is thoroughly uncrocked in time - though it does look like he'll be missing some of training camp at least.

Jeff Blashill is coach of team USA and I hope he does well since I like him better than the other team USA coaching options.

Today on Hockey Central they talked about if more players will say no because the NHL isn't going to the Olympics - the theory being there's no need to endear yourself to a national team when the big prize is off the table.

The Men's is in Cologne and Paris, the City of Love, this year. Fic writers, please take this as inspiration.

I'm prepared to have all my Tumblr hockey follows lose their shit if the Wild make a good playoff run because Koivu and Granlund will be tied up with actual NHL games.

Can we fill in who's going from teams as it comes out?? My twitter is full of getaway day and coaches getting fired and playoff predictions and beat writers planning to hang out and I'm sure I've missed some.

Vasilevskiy is wearing Bishop's number and I don't know what to do about this so I guess I'll just sit here and cry about it.

After a 4-0 victory against an unbeaten Japan - which gave the team a perfect win record over the 5 game Div.IB tourney and their first gold medal, to go alongside their first promotion, in 24 years - Great Britain will be playing Div.IA hockey next year.

Evan Mosey in particular had a pretty fine tournament - https://twitter.com/StevenEllisNHL/status/857308017603354624 - but the IceHogs won't really want him back soon, right?

Anyone who thinks that Roussel isn't a difference maker who carries the puck a lot when he's in Dallas doesn't watch Dallas play imo.

I'm really enjoying the dancing Asterix and Obelix as mascots.

When will I finally get some content to make Giroux/Skinner happen. :(

At least there's this, I suppose:

You know, if Roussel scored half as many goals as penalties he gets every game? I would be very content.

Re: 2017 IIHF World Championship

Daily Giroux/Skinner watch: there was a butt-slap after Giroux put away a rebound from a Skinner shot. It's almost OTP level contact ;D

Lindholm with two goals already just in the first period!

The Canes are so good at Worlds, lol.

For some reason, after France defeated Finland 5-1, the goalie was not selected as France's player of the game. Bellemare, who was named it, as well as their teammates and the fans, did not like that decision. PEB refused and insisted that it go to Hardy (the goalie) instead.

"I didn't actually hear my name," Bellemare said of being announced as the player of the game. "I was clapping for [Hardy], looking at him, then he heard my name. This was not right."
