Going to be an interesting decision for Cooper et al regarding the goaltending.
Czechia are no slouch but then you have the Swiss and the French, would think you want to see Thompson or Kuemper against some legit competition so that means one of them probably goes against the Swiss. Going to have to make a bold call for the knockout round on a tiny sample size.
Binnington is interesting because he clutched up in the 4 Nations final so seemingly has a ton of rope but I didn't think he was particularly good before that. Obviously it was the most important game so full credit but it's strange to me that they're this deferential given how awful he's been all year.
