There's a Sweden/Canada tune-up match on Wednesday (noon EST) for a preview of Nylander vs Marner.

So we'll have conclusive proof of which one will have the better NHL career.

Exciting to see Tymashov selected. Were all our prospects that were in the running selected?

Bracco was the only surprise "snub".

Not sure I'd even call that one a surprise...from what you had said before, he was on the outside looking in from the get-go.
 
Timashov is actually the one I'm most interested to observe through the tournament.  I know Marner and Nylander are going to be good NHLers, but Timashov has the potential to be one of the biggest suprises of last year's draft, not just for the Leafs but maybe also overall.  I have cautious high hopes for him.

And I want to see how much Dermott is able to step up and be a steady all-around defenseman for Canada.

Sure, but it was a surprise to me until I actually digged deeper into their situation. So I imagine there were a few Leafs fans who thought he'd be on the team at first glance.

Reports from practice say that he's been used primarily on the top powerplay unit with Marner and Strome.

I'm wondering why the big T was traded?

Quebec is rebuilding, supposedly.  Apparently they tried to trade him to Moncton but he supposedly vetoed that.  Don't know how true any of that is or whether that he has that veto power.
 
they tweeted it was a huge open ice hit from the blind side. Hope he is not to badly concussed.
Any ideas of where to watch the Canada US Game on the stream?
 
Now that I read the rules for the IIHF its pretty clear that was a very bad check.

Nylander just got concussed in the first game.

Yeah they call it a hit to the head, but Nylander let his guard down and left himself in a really bad position to get throttled.

Why wouldn't they call it a hit to the head? He got hit in the head by the other player.

Yeah, I mean it was a terrible hit. His head was up and it was a blindside hit. The rules state you can't hit someone recklessly that would endanger their safety and that even if a player sees you you can in no way make principal contact with the head. Its just a bad, dirty hit.
