Bedard tied a tournament record for points in a game.

Kind of bad goal on Milic

Connor Bedard with a 6 point night following his 7 point night. I feel bad for Austria and Germany, they have like no future NHLers and didn’t deserve to face Canada coming off of a humbling loss

I don't know, it probably sucks in the moment, but I bet in like 25 years, those guys are going to see Bedard's HOF induction and be like "I played against that guy in front of 10k people in the biggest game of my life. That was f'n cool." For those guys, they know this is the pinnacle of their career before they get real jobs and are probably prepared to get smoked so they can enjoy the experience for what it is with no pressure or expectations.

I think it's guys with actual NHL hopes that I feel worse for. Like a guy whose a third rounder or something that's always been the best player in their smaller league growing up finally getting a chance against top prospects and getting torched and seeing the talent gap. Or even holding his own but watching his teammates get destroyed and not being able to do anything about it.

Sadly he's already a Stars prospect because he got injured in the covid shortened season and teams thought "hmmm he put up all those goals at 16 but also he's 5'8 better pass" so the Stars took him 47th overall.

Oh, I didn’t know they were doing reseeding this year. Seems fairly unlikely to change anything, I guess.

They've reseeded since the 2020 WJC (so now is the 4th time). It was definitely a good move that can reduce some silliness.

Poor Slovak goalie can't even get player of the game in a 50-something save shelling. Glad he's getting recognized for his tournament.

Game reminded me of this one game Canada played against Latvia at the Olympics where the Latvian goalie similarly made like 55+ saves and they eventually just wore him down until something finally went in only that was way more just the goalie and less just constantly hitting the post or missing the wide open net. Slovakias momentum in OT kind of just disappeared after the late cross checking penalty in the 3rd too. You could start to see Gajan and Nemec in particular just looking worn down and red faced from fatigue.

The United States had a super easy game against Germany so if Canada ever needed a day off between games its this one. Imagine trying to play back to back against two real rear end teams? They'll still have to do it regardless if they want gold though.

Canada's D are very bad, but at least they constantly beavertail their sticks on the ice for passes that should and will never go to them.
