Canada will be lucky to have half a dozen players on their team make the NHL. Same with Russia. 100% of the Flames and Islanders players are good enough to play in the NHL.
The pace of the Flames/Isles game last night was fantastic.
WJC is exciting because of the inferior players on the teams that cough up pucks and miss assignments which lead to scoring chances.
Even the best WJC players ever need to adjust to the pace of the NHL
