last night on the BBC broadcast of the Canada-US women's game, during a Canada PP, the play-by-play guy said that Canada was missing its key [long pause] locksmith (Marie Philip Poulin)

I watched that game until it was 3-0, Canada was definitely missing a driver

They're missing players that can skate like Caroline Quinn Hughes Harvey and shoot it like Laila Tage Thompson

I know the result of this game but Italy scores first and got away with a hold on an EP40 wraparound that 1. Would’ve been a goal 2. 100% would’ve been a penalty in the NHL

Swedes getting absurd amounts of zone time and shots, but they’re giving up transition chances

Shots are 28-4 Sweden, the score is 2-2
Not sure if Gustafsson is awake back there

Former Leav Pontus Holmberg is getting a regular shift in this game while Filip Forsberg is the 13th forward and has played one shift

Clara makes a big shorthanded save on EP40 but didn’t look comfortable after it

Nylander got the go-ahead goal but I don’t think he’s been especially sharp today. Raymond has generally looked good, very dogged on the puck, but like a few other guys on Sweden, is too deferential.

I am focusing on EP40 a bit, curious about him as a trade option.

I have a lot of issues rooting for America right now but let’s not discount having to cheer a Brady Tkachuk goal

Quinn Hughes an easier ask
Latvia challenging this one for offsides though, just like an NHL game

Goal disallowed, Matthews takes an uncalled high elbow, Latvia goes down and ties it

I'm stunned at how lenient the refs have been throughout the hockey so far.

I thought they would call it tighter than NHL games but that’s not been the case at all
