IIHF World Championship 2017 - Page 4 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

rest of this should be fun

expect Sweden to dispatch of Finland with relative ease, but classic rivalry there, so nothing a given
and Canada/Russia another classic rivalry, anything can happen there, especially at the Worlds

and Finland always good at getting medals, so don't sleep on them if they're in the BMG

Thought the morning game was Swe/Fin so didn't extend the recording and it ended with 6 mins left at 2-1 USSR. Major fail.

Also looks the IIHF does have a sense of humor. (from their site)

You think that was a weak call or loling at someone who said it was?

I usually don't play the OT game but this one is kind of inferred.

Why not play it out? Stupid euro-soccer mentality.

That was a slick shot from Backstrom, in stride, cutting across. Congrats.

LOL it looks like Bill pulled Lundquist's head to side when he realized mid power leap that he was about to drive his head right into the post.

Lol Marner, what a loser

seemed like Lundqvist might have actually gotten injured there lol

didn't move for a while after the fall, and seemed to be grimacing when they were standing around afterwards

guess Nylander knew not to miss
