[CarolinaPanthers8789]

I wish they did this after the playoffs. Our goalies suck.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Huge win today for Team Canada and a demoralizing loss for Team USA.

[KillerKat]

The olympics is the real thing. I don't put much stock in this. If this was done after the nhl playoffs, it would be bigger than what it is. We could have our choice of  quick, anderson, or howard as our goalie after the playoffs. Kane and Parise would be on the team as well as others.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

I agree, but I like that it gives other players the opportunity to showcase their talents to people across the world.

 

In other news, USA got a big 4-1 win over Finland as Justin Faulk tallied another assist.

 

Justin Faulk is now second (in the tournament) in defense-man scoring. 

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

The Czech's got a much needed win today in their 2-1 win over Denmark in penalties.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Canada is back in the drivers seat with a 3-0 win over Sweden.

 

Both Staal's recorded points.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Canada and the Czech's picked up some good wins today. Skinner and J. Staal both tallied an assist in today's game.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Solid win for Team USA as they get a 4-2 win over France.

 

Justin Faulk and Jamie McBain both tallied an assist in today's game.

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

I checked some statistics and Faulk ranks second in the tournament in assists and ranks first in defense-man scoring (points).

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

The U.S. just got a huge boost, David Backes from St. Louis will join the team (since the Blues were eliminated from playoff contention) in hopes of bringing the gold back to America.

Justin Faulk is playing standout hockey for the United States at the IIHF World Championships in Sweden and Finland.

 

The Hurricanes' defenseman has registered four assists in four games and is playing heavy minutes in all game situations. We have long been touting Faulk as a player to watch. He is now a player to draft. Don't wait too late to select him in your pools next season.
