Lundqvist might be past his prime but he's still great.

with Europe at 2 wins, the USA needs to beat Canada to have any chance of advancing (as we would have 2 wins also if Canada wins)

I think this means if Canada wins tomorrow it's Canada and Europe that automatically move on. Americans would be out. Not sure if anyone can confirm that?

Edit: ^what he said.

We dont award goalies based on past merits. Markstrom has outplayed lundqvist so far. I know what I am talking about, I am a swede.

I must admit, watching John Tortorella consistently fail is a very satisfying feeling.

That guy has been a talent-less hack since day 1. I cant believe he still manages to find work.

I cant believe that US management appoint this guy when they have such a successful junior program with tons of successful coaches. Whats wrong with them?

US seems to think appointing a 60+ guy gives you an advantage. Not in todays hockey.

I don't know who you may be referring to, but are any of those guys NHL coaches?

Because I think this tournament has to include NHL players, coaches, GM's, etc.

Two things.

1). Edmonton is terrible. I know what I am talking about, I am a Calgarian.
2). Wow there are two goalies worse than Hiller.

What you talking about? Swedish coach is not a nhl coach. There is no such requirement.

Why would it matter that you are a Swede? Lundqvist is still one of the best 2-3 goalies in the world even if Markstrom has been better in a small sample size

So far either Canada or a small smattering of European countries.
