I would have assumed that there is a cutoff point as to when teams can add players to a roster. Start of the knockout round would have been my guess, though it doesn't seem right. How far into the tournament can teams add players, then?

• The teams submit the names of the participating players at the first Championship Directorate.
• The maximum number of players allowed on a Team Registration Form at the beginning of the World Championship is 22 skaters and 3 goalies. The minimum is 15 skaters and 2 goalies.
• At the first Directorate meeting, the teams must name at least the minimum number of 15 skaters and 2 goalkeepers. The players entered must be present at the championship venue by the time of the Directorate meeting.
• The remaining players up to the allowed maximum of 22 + 3 must be submitted for players' control two hours before any of the following championship games. Players can be added throughout the tournament until the roster is full.
• During a game, a team may enter (dress) 20 skaters and 2 goalkeepers on the Official Game Sheet, with the emergency goalkeeper standing by if a goalie entered to the Official Game Sheet is unable to play.

iirc its happened before that countries have held roster spots open for specific guys and their NHL teams never got eliminated so the countries have gone into final games either with fewer than then 22 man roster OR called in a guy from their domestic league in the final hours before the gold medal game

Heck, Canada make the semi-finals (I think we've been bounced in the quarters the last couple of years), it's gravy from this point onwards.

Team USA has looked better than they ever have at this competition. Love seeing the younger players. However, whenever we do well, the Canadiens always show up to spoil it, like your grandmother catching you with a girly mag.
