I know people have complained about this tournament not doing much to grow the game. But I cannot imagine how good this is for growing the game in Slovenia. They've never had a hockey player play against Canada, the best team in the world. Think about how inspiring that must be to a whole group of kids who've never really been exposed to one of their guys having a shot on this stage.

This Canada Team is stupid good. There's literally not a team on the planet that can beat them. I don't think I truly appreciate how much we're running this game.

You literally cannot beat them. Carey Price is very much alive. Nobody has forwards good enough to play against any of Canada's defense pairs, and every forward line is better than every other team's top pairing.

And yet here is Kopitar, this lone hero from a tiny country that's never gotten this much attention from hockey internally. Sets up the first goal. Hope springs. Maybe they can do it. How cool would be it be if they did. That's be incredible.
