3 on 3 with no shootout in overtime.
The two teams were evenly matched. The US had history on their side, but today was Canada's day.

I have a friend that plays in the KHL. They scouted him from UBC to play for the Red Stars so he would be eligible to play for China in the Olympics.
He said he's pretty excited to play in the Olympics, but at the same time he knows they're going to get their ass pummeled. His pool has Canada, USA, and Germany.

I didn't even bother watching the last one. Just didn't give AF.

Not a big surprise with Kotkaniemi. They healthy scratched him in the finals. Apparently he had spoken to someone after signing the offer sheet saying that he had felt that he had already played his final game in a Habs jersey.
It'll be interesting to see what MTL does next. They absolutely need to fix their depth in the middle now. Probably going to be a big trade coming soon.
edit: ok, not a big trade but MTL trades picks for Christian Dvorak

Dvorak is a great pickup, lots of teams were interested in him and (just my opinion) he’s way better than KK

yep, you aren't the first person to say he's a better defensive centre than KK. I was more laughing at myself because i was expecting something bigger by MTL.

Haha i actually hadn't really thought about that. there was some wild speculation that they might try and get a deal done for Eichel.
NOTD: Virtanen to KHL for one year ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

100% Benning's fault on this. Wasted money on retaining JV, let Toffoli walk. Cap issues and couldn't keep Toffoli? Also Benning's fault.

^ I agree from that time... but if we had Toffoli, we probably wouldn't have been able to do the OEL/Garland trade with salary dump too... nor would we be able to afford both Petey and Hughes without the salary dump...
I mean nobody knows how all that stuff would have turned out, but I think this team is better structured now than it would have been even with Toffoli being a great player.
I WILL say though... that if we had kept Toffoli... I would have hoped Pearson would have been gone...................... but I wouldn't give Benning that much credit.
I would definitely say our team would be better with Toffoli instead of Pearson if that scenario had been allowed to play out.

Can JV18 leave Canada with pending charges? Or do allegations don't count?

I don’t think there were any criminal charges? Just a civil suit.
