The Flames fan in me wants a reason to watch another game in the tournament.

Win / win for me. It's great that the Flames and Gaudreau get back to the negotiating table, and it is great also to get to watch him play another game in this tournament.

He's on a pretty bad inexperienced Finland team, playing against one of the best assembled teams in the world and has yet to play an NHL game. It would likely be a little different if he was on a better team.

Canada vs. NA is the game to watch in this tournament. 100% cheering for Finland.

Outcome of the game has zero impact on a contract for Gaudreau IMO.

Why is Ovechkin barely getting ice time?

Use of Ovie has been an issue the whole tournament.

Here's another way to look at it...

The more games Gaudreau plays in this tournament, the fewer pre-season games he'll need to be ready for the regular season. So what you you rather him play: a few more high stakes games against the best players in the world, or a few more no stakes games against scrubs trying to make a name for themselves?

No, it was just an issue with panelists and color guys, I think.

That first goal is on Donskoi. Had Lehtera wide open and made a dumb play along the boards.
