Klimchuk is hurt and is a 95 birthday, so he will have a chance next year.

Poirier should of made the team, imo. But he has limited history with Hockey Canada, so that is usually a knock against.

[Robbob]

could put the game away with a goal here.

[Goodlad]

Eichel! (sorry, i'm a bit behind)

Edit: and it shows, poop

[SuperMatt18]

Canada started moving their feet in the second and have dominated since then.

Way too much standing still and gliding early on but they have turned that around.

Would say that Fucale has outplayed Gilles as well.

[Robbob]

huge save

[moon]

Fucale!!

Cannot let those chances happen now.

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Great save!

[lifetimefan]

I think my heart stopped beating for about 10 seconds there.
Big stop by Fucale.

[Zach]

Fucale has been great today.

[RougeUnderoos]

Boy, these Yank teenagers don't quit.

Kids today.

Thanks. Saw Russia second last and just assumed Switzerland would leapfrog them. Looks like Canada will play Switzerland unless Switzerland scores like 20 goals.

Edit or Canada blows this.

[indes]

Man that was some save!

[DOOM]

lol Fucale...wow.

[Roof-Daddy]

Dammit.

That is the old system.

Here's the tie-breaker procedure:

Should three or more teams be tied on points, then a tie breaking formula will be applied as follows, creating a sub-group amongst the tied teams. This process will continue until only two or none of the teams remain tied. In the case of two tied teams remaining, the game between the two would then be the determining tie-breaker as the game could not end as a tie. In the case of none of the teams being tied, the criteria specified in the respective step applies.
Step 1: Taking into consideration the games between each of the tied teams, a sub-group is created applying the points awarded in the direct games amongst the tied teams from which the teams are then ranked accordingly.
Step 2: Should three or more teams still remain tied in points then the better goal difference in the direct games amongst the tied teams will be decisive.
Step 3: Should three or more teams still remain tied in points and goal difference then the highest number of goals scored by these teams in their direct games will be decisive
Step 4: Should three or more teams still remain tied in points, goal difference and goals scored then the results between each of the three teams and the closest best-ranked team outside the sub-group will be applied. In this case the tied team with the best result (1. points, 2. goal difference, 3. more goals scored) against the closest best ranked-team will take precedence
Step 5: Should the teams still remain tied, then the results between each of the three teams and the next highest best-ranked team outside the sub-group will be applied.
Step 6: Should the teams still remain tied after these five steps have been exercised then Sport considerations will be applied and the teams will be ranked by their positions coming into the Championship (seeding).

Switzerland got whipped by Russia.. so they would be 4th, Russia will be 2nd.
