Chester™ Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Not sure if anyone will be interested, but the World Champs started today in Belarus. A shock already as France beat Canada 3-2, after Penalty Shots. Russia take care of the Swiss 5-0 with Captain Ovie getting 1+1. Tonight's games are Belarus vs USA and Slovakia vs Czech Republic. Premier Sports are showing at least 1 game per day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chester™ Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 In this evening's games, USA 1-0 vs Belarus with 12.05 left in the second. Slovakia and Czechs 1-1 at roughly the halfway mark of the second. For you Habs fans, prospect Martin Reway playing for the Slovaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konrad von Carstein Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 @THNMattLarkin 1h France beating Canada tells you all you need to know about the World Championship. It's never best vs best. It's best vs "whoever's around." I suppose the NHL schedule makes it impossible to have the best of the best? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a NA journo getting his kicks in! As much as I enjoy Canadian journos discuss the game, that is a nonsense point from Larkin. Clearly no issues when they win. Fortunately, I've seen some of that French team play, and I can assure you, they are no mugs. That said, Ken Campbell's point is correct.

He's a bit on the small side, something we don't really need, but he's been tearing up the QMJHL and looks to have great hands. Hopefully he makes it.
