Could see Tanguay leaving Detroit to be an associate somewhere else. Worth noting he predates Lalonde there, too.

USSR had 22, Russia has 5. Those are often counted together (even if it's not fair to great non-Russian Soviet players).

So Canada now has more than those two combined.

Kind of unfair since they don't even have a chance to play anymore.

I'm all for that, but it's not their hockey players doing it.

Now, now. Accidents happen. Switzerland has accidentally “invaded” their neighbour on more than one occasion.

Maybe the Russian hockey players should star clobbering Putin with their sticks then!

Winning is fun. I hope Lucic goes out with this gold medal as his farewell to the game. Great guy, just not a very good hockey player anymore.

Yeah! Just leave other countries alone, like the US… ####, bad example.

Kind of the point, really, though. Why would American hockey players be responsible for whatever Trump or Biden do?

It's the world hockey championship, let the Russian players play since they're among the best in the world.

Lucic is type of guy I could see as an assistant coach shortly after retirement with a team.

Saw him downtown on a patio once, discussing hockey strategy and such. He loves the game. He's tenacious. Would be a great choice to have for strategy etc.

I can’t believe the quickness and the strength of my 180 on Lucic from when he arrived here. I went from thinking the Flames had made the worst move in history to just loving this guy.

To see his family looking so proud with their World Champion Dad, is truly heartwarming.

Latvians woke up to go to work Monday morning, only to find they didn't have to. Their parliament had met at midnight to declare a holiday after the national ice hockey team chalked up its best result at the world championship.
Quote:
It was "to strengthen the fact of significant success of Latvian athletes in the social memory of the society," according to the bill's sponsors.

Awesome.

I think the Latvian people might be happy they won a medal.
