The Juniors

That would mean Latvia who finished second to Belarus get's in.

Or, for some strange reason, Group 1B winner France.

But isn't group 1A better? IDK the IIHF rules.

Supposed to be, but only slightly. It's always been one went down and one came up, some years two.
What they're doing puzzles me.

Holy Moses, can't believe it was that long ago. It's possible I never actually saw Redmond play Junior in real time but heard about it when he joined the Senior Canadiens.

He is another player developed in the Montreal System and went on to greater fame and glory with another NHL team.

I don't think it's fair to punish a team like that, it's not necessary due to players not following protocol, the virus is airborne and playing in a rink with fans the virus is going to spread. They should play this tournament in a bubble with zero fans.

Mickey Redmond (as was Steve Shutt and some others) was a member of the "Black Aces" in his first year in the NHL. It was part of the Montreal System (maybe other teams as well) to bring some players up to the parent club before they were quite ready for prime time. They practiced and traveled with the team but didn't see much ice time. For example, HOF Shutt only scored 8 and 15 goals in his first two two years because he saw so little ice time as a Black Ace.

I didn't realize Shutt only scored 424 goals, I thought he'd have more.

The Swedes are 2-0 so far and look impressive Their goalie stood on his head yesterday making 48 saves vs. Slovakia.
Canada plays Austria tonight what's the over under on goals. I say they win 9-2.

They gave up 48 shots to Slovakia?

My favourite players on the American team are in the pics below. Yes, I know they are the women's team.

This is the only US hockey team I like.

LOL! If only our Canadian girls/women hockey and soccer teams showed the same spirit. If we can judge by the hockey sticks, it looks like one of the ladies is a goalie. Then there are the twins.
BTW: When I was in university (best party school ever) we played nude mixed gender football up in The Reservoir but never tried nude hockey (too cold).

Bedard the first 16 y.o. to score a hattie for Canada since Gretzky in '77.

Never should have started in the first place, this was bound to happen.

I thought all the players were staying within a 'bubble'. Guess that didn't happen or perhaps the bubble burst.

But it will be wiped out by Omicron. The tournament cancelled.
