jesus, they only put ONE past Finland?
saw a preliminary roster and there was only 2 NHLers on the team

have a feeling Great Britain is going to want to brexit the next game early.
I would hope, anyway

he's lucky Scott Stevens wasn't the other defenseman

Good win today for Canada, albeit vs. Great Britian, Canada plays Slovakia tomorrow so a bit of a tougher match there.

Obviously, Hughes has a great skill set and I think no doubt will be a top flight NHL player, but you do have to be concerned about his size and whether or not he will be able to battle through all the hacks and holding especially in the playoffs. I mean, he is only 3 cm taller (i.e. a little over an inch taller) than Johnny Hockey and as much as I like Johnny, his game suffers when other teams get physical.

Although, Patrick Kane is also the same size so who knows. Hot take, is it possible Hughes doesn't play in NHL this season?

I don't think Patrick Kane gets enough credit for how elusive of a skater he is - Also, he's got a great pair of mitts on him and I would say he's got a better, harder shot than Johnny as well.
