Dermott's been much scrappier than I figured he would be in this tournament.

One thing to keep in mind, with the US and Canada both having 1 loss already there's a decent chance there's a 3-way tie for 1st in this group. Canada would need to beat the Swede's in their final game to make that happen. So goals +/- could be very important (sorry Denmark!).

Ah, that makes sense. They must have made that change recently then. Guess these lower teams were getting upset teams weren't letting up to ensure they won a tie-breaker.
Christ, shots are 17-0 this period.

Canada defeated Denmark 6-1, by Marner & Strome with 2 points each, as well as contributions from Crouse, Beavillier, Quenneville, and Barzal.
The Canadians fired 58 shots at poor Danish goalkeeper Mathias Seldrup, while Denmark only directed 11 at Canada's 'keeper Mason McDonald, prompting him to remark:
"I can?t remember when I faced that little," said McDonald, who said he worked hard to stay focused in the third period. "It had to be peewee or something."
Marner was paired on a line with Point and Quenneville, while Strome had Brandon Perlini & Jake Virtanen as linemates. The setup worked well in Canada's favour as the Canadians pounded the net, something lacking in their previous game (and loss) to the US.
We just wanted to get more pucks to the net," said Marner. "I think that was the problem in our first game we didn?t get enough pucks to the net. We really focused on trying to get bodies in front of the goalies.
Boy, didn't they ever!

He looks like the most talented player on the ice, but not the most dominant.
