Kyrou with a nice one-timer blocked by the goalie at the 1st Period buzzer. Canada played well, but only up by 1. Earlier, Bean was helped off the ice after crashing into the boards. Canada down to just 5 defencemen. That might hurt them in the tournament if the 2 injured players can't come back in ...

Canada scored a 2nd goal that was wrongly ruled offside, but under the rules they cannot overrule the call made on the ice.

Re: Doug Armstrong signed to 4 year extension

Does anyone think he doesn't make it the full 4 years? I don't mean be fired but be promoted. The Blues have a couple GM's in waiting (Bill Armstrong, Brodeur, Chopper?) that they may want to hang onto and have to promote to GM to do so. Similar to what the Cardinals did promoting their GM, John Mo...

Re: Doug Armstrong signed to 4 year extension

Club option for a fifth year. That's interesting. Army has some work to do this year. Do we make a push at the deadline? Stand pat? Or even sell a little? Wouldn't be surprised to see us get back in the first round next year. I don't want to wait until the deadline. I want those moves early so the ...

Re: R.I.P. Johnny Bower

He was an amazing goalie even at an elderly age (like Plante and Hall). It's a shame that he was buried at Cleveland all those years. Back then, he was often better than The Rangers', Black Hawks' and Bruins' goalies.

Re: 2018 World Junior Hockey Thread

Pretty boring game. Skipped it for a family dinner. Canadians don't care to watch a boring non-competive game with no friends or family members playing. Team Denmark is a LOT weaker than they were last year. Most of their future NHLers are already gone. They'll likely be dropped back to Level 2 next...
