TSN is not showing the relegation round games, but Rohrer gets his first of the tournament as Austria and Latvia battle to stay in the main group next year.

On Kapanen’s goal vs Sweden, Engstrom lost him for a split second and it cost him. There’s a balance between focusing on your man and following the play. Engstrom didn’t find the balance on that play.

Engstrom didn’t find the balance on that play. It was the first goal against that has happened with him in the ice; so, he has generally been able to prevent goals especially considering he plays a lot on the PK too. He definitely lost position on Kapanen though.

I wasn't hard on him. It happens.
Sure am glad Lysell is a Bruins pick. Flashy as hell but doesn’t accomplish much. No points at all so far in the tournament. I suspect the posts and crossbar hate him.

Is it just me or does Wright look lost out there?

Not impressed with Canada’s coach. He’s got an excellent face-off guy (probably his best) and a good penalty killer in Beck but won’t use him.

Not sure what Fantilli was doing on that PP. He had possession was skating it out of the zone and then drop passed it back into the zone where there was one Canadian and two Slovaks. Set them up beautifully for a 2 on 1

They say this team could be one of the best Canadian teams ever assembled, yet I find myself thinking this team is more likely to lose in the quarterfinals than any team in recent memory. . When they play like individuals, this team is average. The coaching staff has still not instilled in this group how be be a team.

This coach is so dumb... Wrights has been getting his ass beat in the faceoff circle and he puts him out on the powerplay with 30 seconds left

The PP was their chance to win ... I hold out no hope of them winning now.
Way too much passing up along the blue line doing nothing

Good luck vs. the States.

You cannot win a faceoff, and the best faceoff guy in the OHL sits watching it all unfold. Nice coaching Williams.

Gotta wonder if Slaf would've made the difference here....ha! I sure would have wanted to see him perform in a big game situation. The experience would have been far more valuable than watching the Habs get blown out in back to back games while he plays on the 4th line.

He's useless... reminds me of MTHead and Julien... What really scares me is the passivity of the PK. It gives talented players a lot of time and options with the man advantage. Czechia burnt us with it and now Canada must face a lot of American skill. If they do not stay disciplined and out of the box it won't be pretty. This coaching staff seems to fail to identify issues and fix them.

Bedard's brilliance covers up some curious, suboptimal personnel decisions by the suits behind the bench. The USA game will be complicated.
