I'm curious how Finland will play against a weaker opponent, as they tend to struggle against them.

Lower body injury diarrhea is when it's so violent that the force of it coming out has torn muscles

Probably previously mentioned in some other thread, but pretty awesome that Kiprusoff is Finland goalie coach.

I cant imagine that he'd be particularly helpful.

"Stop puck."

Curious as to why the Fins are not putting Rantanen on the PP. Seems like the kind of net presence you'd want on the PP.

Through the 2 games I have watched Mikko Rantanen play in these WJC, I have to say if he is in the Flames range when it comes to their pick (if not in the top 12) I hope they take him. Just has a certain panache around the puck I really like.

I want to say a more skilled and silky version of Ferland but I feel like some people will take that as a slight against Ferland which it is not.

here's a rule suggestion, if you ice the puck and a player has no stick, he has to continue the next shift without a stick

Well, one thing is certain after two days: Calgary and Edmonton's attendance record is in no danger of falling. Attendance in Montreal has been atrocious for the non-Canada games. Calgary's first couple days outdrew Toronto quite handily as well.

And by everyone, we mean TSN. I laughed when the talking heads were talking about how McDavid "can breathe now". More like they can.
