Pretty good game so far just kind of hard cheering for someone from the Coilers like McDavid, Hall or Talbot. I am still cheering for Canada though.
I'd say Bennett is pretty agitating, and plays a similar game. I'd definitely like to add another in this mold.

It's what Micheal Ferland should be. Locomotive physicality, soft hands, and a bold personality. We saw glimpses in the Vancouver series a year ago, but so far he hasn't carried it over.

Bennett isn't as outright annoying as those two. He seems to bump, battle, and get under other players' skins quietly and without a lot of drama. Sometimes the extra theatrics that guys like Marchand put on and draw out really magnify their effect on the game.

I'm still hoping we see that from #79.

Someone ought to remind those guys that this is a meaningless tournament, because they're wasting a lot of effort celebrating.

Oilers need to celebrate what and when they can.

Well that was a surprise. Much improvement from first meeting with Finns. Nice win. Hall still sucks.

Who gives a #### about the oilers? They make up a small part of team Canada. Their inclusion doesn't take anything away from the other Canadians that earned this win.

Mangiapane is supposed to somewhat of a rat. He's probably a couple of years away if he makes it but he looks promising.

Wow, Putin comes out and is very complimentary of Canada, congratulating the "founding fathers of ice hockey".

Just disappointed that he's not riding a horse

Championship #26... Russia still has 27.

Nice work Canada. Awesome. Tournament may be "meaningless" to some, but obviously not everybody.
