I would expect there to be a few Canadians on the GB team this time as well.

Canada only managed a 4-2 win over the Brits, hope they can have a good tournament and stay in the top 16.
Connor Bedard is pretty much the tournament MVP already, kid is on one!

Was hoping Vancouver would win and the stupid Oilers would implode. Inexperience killed the Canucks, they were like a deer in the headlights for the first 2 periods lol.
Canada is undefeated at the WHC, Mangiapane (Canada) and Pospisil (Slovakia) are repping the Flames well (don't think any Flames aside from these 2 are in the tournament). Enjoyable tournament so far, the Czech fans seem quite pumped to have the event there.

The last two games, the Canucks played the way I thought they would play at the beginning. They're lack of playoff experience showed.

Markstrom to NJ for Kevin Bahl and a 2025 1st round pick. Flames retain 1/3 of Markstrom's salary.
Seems like a good trade for both sides, especially New Jersey as they get a decent goalie. Even when Markstrom is off his game, he's still better than NJ's current goalies .Flames get a 1st rounder, it won't be a high 1st round pic, but still first round.

Don't like the salary retention, but that's the cost of doing business I guess.

First rounder is in 2025 and it's top ten protected, so if NJ has a top ten pick in 2025 we get the 2026 first rounder, which isn't a protected pick.

So that's 3 first round picks so far next year? not bad Conny...
Well, that was quite the nail biter. As Flames fan I was mostly happy with the result. It was won by a team that has never won the cup before, and a side bonus I won't have to listen to my oiler fan co-workers bragging about a Stanley Cup for at least a year. If they can keep the team together they'll win a cup for sure, whether next year or the year after.

As a Flames fan I'm happy. As a Canadian hockey fan... 31 years and counting.

There's definitely a little extra pep in my step this morning. Screw Shellbyville and the most obnoxious fanbase in the NHL. Canada's team my ass. They deserve nothing.
