It was another light day of action on Sunday, as the schedule thinned out before two straight days with four games per day before the start of the men’s tournament. Sweden both all-but-clinched top spot in Group B and officially eliminated France with a 4-0 win on Sunday. The scoreline might be a bit surprising in that it wasn’t overwhelming, but this result was as much as a mismatch as…

Four more games took place on Tuesday, and we got some clarity on the standings, especially in Group B which finished play. We know that the United States will face Italy, but other than that, we do not know much, except that Switzerland will finish in the bottom of Group A. Sweden scored just 5:25 into the game, and rolled the rest of the way. Japan started their backup goaltender Riko…

The men’s tournament got underway on Wednesday, with two games that were very different than many expected heading into the day. Juraj Slafkovský didn’t take long to showcase why he is Slovakia’s hero. He had two elite goals and an assist as the Slovaks get the tournament’s first upset in the very first game. Finland had no answers for the Slovak’s top line when they were on the ice…

They outshot Slovakia 40-25, but lost 4-1. Sweden, on the other hand, found plenty of offence on 60 shots versus Italy, originally getting a scare when Luca…

Less then a minute into the game between Canada and Switzerland, Shea Theodore lobbed a shot at the net that was missed by Akira Schmid. The puck hit the bottom of the crossbar, but dropped straight down and back out into the slot. Just a few seconds later, Switzerland transitioned up the ice in a three-on-one, requiring a snow-angel save from Logan Thompson. The tone was set for a high-event game…

Fresh off of the AHL All-Star Game and riding a five-game winning streak, the Laval Rocket returned back to the ice with a six-point lead atop the AHL’s North Division. A win over their opponents, the Hershey Bears, would set Laval up with a potential eight-point gap heading in to the weekend. However, the Bears remained one of the AHL’s premier clubs and were not a team to be taken lightly.

Elias Pettersson had two goals for…

Less than 24 hours after thumping the Hershey Bears on the scoreboard and also in multiple scrums and fights, the Laval Rocket returned to Place Bell for a Valentine’s Day meeting with the Toronto Marlies. Love and compassion were things not exactly shared between the two sides after a line brawl earlier in the year, and a testy rematch at the end of January. A win over the Marlies on Saturday…
