First Best-on-Best International tournament since 2016… it deserves it’s own thread.

Out of interest, since this is restricted to NHL players only, these won't be counted as "official" international games by the countries involved, right?

I’m honestly not sure. I’m assuming not either since it’s being played under NHL rules.

World Cup Games are counted as "official" by the various federations (even if played under the NHL rules)

 

so, I don't see anything wrong with also this tournament being counted as "official" by the :SWE and :FIN federations

As expected, there've been a few injuries before the tournament began and replacements have been announced. Here's a breakdown:

 

Nation Position Injured Player Replacement Player
:CAN D Alex Pietrangelo Drew Doughty
:FIN D Miro Heiskanen Urho Vakaanainen
:FIN D Jani Hakanpaa Henri Jokiharju
:FIN D Rasmus Ristolainen Nikolas Matinaplo
:SWE G Jacob Markstrom Samuel Ersson
:SWE F William Karlsson Rickard Rakell
:USA D Quinn Hughes Jake Sanderson

Heiskanen's injury is by far the biggest hit here as without him, Finland doesn't have another offensive-minded d-man to step up in his place.

Based on their practice today, Canada will be rolling out a powerplay unit of Crosby, MacKinnon, Makar, McDavid and Reinhart :hyper:
