Losing his shoe in his dad's interview = future contract dispute.

I'm delighted for Colin Shields (GB 19 in that video), a good friend of mine who plays for Belfast and is one of those genuine nice guy type hockey players (and top scorer in the history of the British Elite league) as that was his last ever game before retirement from the sport. Nice way to go out!

Yeah, that's a pretty awesome way to go.

Adam Keefe was their head coach in this tournament, correct?

Assistant coach to Pete Russel (who is moving on to coach a team in the German 2nd tier next season) so Not sure if Keefe will take over but I'd say he could after a championship winning season this year and coaching Belfast in the European Champions Hockey League next season

Nylander puts up another G and A in the loss to Russia. 17 pts in 7 games.

With this Klingberg PP goal, Nylander (18 pts) is now the all-time single tournament scoring leader for Team Sweden in the World Championships. It's a hell of a pass too.

Didn't get a point on this play, but was certainly involved in a Zach Hyman sort of way:
