98 had 2 goals and an assist against Denmark. Four goals in two games. Leads the tournament. Kaspars Daugavins has three. Remember him? And a Finn called Kapanen also with three. But it's a different Kapanen to all the other Kapanens who have played in the NHL. This one's a Habs 2nd rounder from 2021.

Bedard has some talent around him.
Canada's lines against Finland today:
Brandon Tanev – Jack McBain – Dawson Mercer Jared McCann – Nick Paul – Connor Bedard Brandon Hagel – John Tavares – Pierre-Luc Dubois Michael Bunting – Dylan Cozens – Andrew Mangiapane Ridly Greig
Owen Power – Colton Parayko Bowen Byram – Jamie Oleksiak Kaiden Guhle – Damon Severson Olen Zellweger
Jordan Binnington
2-2 after first period. Bedard pretty invisible in the first, except he took a penalty and Finland made it 2-0 during it.

Hawks so far at the games:
Bedard (CAN) 5gp 5+1=6 6pim +3 Reichel (GER) 4gp 2+3=5 0pim +1 Jones (USA) 5gp 0+4=4 0pim +4 Kurashev (SWI) 4gp 0+2=2 6pim 0 Vlasic (USA) 5gp 0+2=2 0pim +2
Mrazek (CZE) 2gp 1-0-1 .906 1.50gaa
All their teams probably advance to the quarter finals.
Kurashev plays on a line with Andrighetto who played a couple hundred games in the Avs. Reichel plays with John Peterka who scored 50pts for the Sabres this year. Third guys on both lines are some randos I don't know. Probably off the street.
Seth Jones plays with his old buddy Zach Werenski and Vlasic is paired with Jeff Petry.
The other Czech goalie is Lukas Dostal from the Ducks. I guess Dostal is the #1, since he's played three games to Mrazek's two, plus he has better stats.

As a bonus note: The Swedish Giraffe Viktor Svedberg is at the games, and representing Kazakhstan. No, really.

Tavares was very good.

Hum. Hawks top line winger Kurashev is the 13th forward in team Switzerland.

Hum. Hawks top line winger Kurashev is the 13th forward in team Switzerland. No real surprise there. Would he crack the top 12 on any of the final four playoff teams?

Only if a whole top 6 was injured or died in a plane crash.

Bedard also cooled off. 4 straight games with no points, and his minutes are down as a result.
Quarter finals this Thursday:
Canada - Slovakia Switzerland - Germany USA - Czech Rep. Sweden - Finland
