Slovenia isn't playing in this tournament, bro.
Slovenia played Tier 2 WC (called Division I Group A, basically teams 17-22 in the world). That tournament is over. Interestingly, even with Kopitar on the roster, their had to fight hard not to get relegated to Tier 3...

Also interestingly, Drozg was the scoring leader at that tournament (7 pts, 5 gls in 5 games).
Tier 2 in your programs maybe, but Tier 1 in my heart.

Simon expected to center the first Czech line (with Voracek and Frolik as his wingers) in the first game (tomorrow, against Sweden). The expected lineup (only 3 lines in order to preserve the flexibility to add more NHL players later):

Brankáři: Bartošák, Hrubec

Obránci: Hronek, Kolář - Rutta, Moravčík - Gudas, Sklenička - Musil

Útočníci: Voráček, Simon, Frolík - Jaškin, Chytil, Palát - Vrána, Kovář, Kubalík - Řepík

Tavares injured. Man, that's nutty. An ageing franchise player hurt moonlighting in a meaningless tournament. Who could have foreseen that incredibly improbable event? Wow just wow.

AV is coaching team Canada. That's why Murray is starting, AV wants him to get hurt...

They should be more upset about him getting jobbed for the Calder and the Hart trophies...

Canada (with Murray in goal) just lost 1:3 to Finland in their first WC game. The GIFs of all goals are here:

(the assistance on the first Finland goal was awesome)

Oh, Jared McCann is there. And Hörnqvist is potting them like it's 1999. Good to see.

According to a Swedish sport journalist, Hörnqvist has been the MVP of Sweden so far this tournament...

I have no idea how good the journalist is, but it should anyway indicate that Hörnqvist still can contribute to a team ;)

I'm guessing he's just happy to be part of an actual team again.

Murs with a shutout over the US, but Nurse hit JvR into him at the end of the game, so jury's still out on how he responds to that tomorrow.
