Duchene with a beauty ties it up...

/I still can't believe that a team with Duchene, Landeskog, and ROR could be as bad as the Avs were this year.

Seen Stamkos? I just did and he scored a PP goal to make it 2-1 Canada

The forward group for this WHC Canadian team is Olympic calibre for every country not named Canada, IMO.

I hereby retract my statement.

This is Grapes's Team Canada selection. NO, really, it's just those three guys.

Good to see Ladd back on the ice this period (looks like the injury wasn't anything major).

Canada tied with Suisse 2-2 in the 3rd period - I wonder what Lindy Ruff was thinking as he saw a guy wearing #22 on the opposing team score a goal with a skate in a crease.

Wonder why Nino is scoring goals for the Swiss instead of the Islanders
am I reading the boxscore correctly - Swiss outshooting Canada 25-16?

Because they don't want him on the team this year. They want him to continue to develop in the minors this season. In an interview Nino said he's had some good conversations with Isles management about his situation. Next year he will likely be with the big club. This season has been a good learning experience for Nino. He's better for it.

Nino had an assist as the Swiss won again.
