As a Preds fan I'll be rooting for Tre Kroner (go Prince Filip) and also following Finland and Team Europe. Now for the Canada/Subban issues, let's just say I'd be very entertained if the venue makes certain powerhouse have results worthy of its inept tenants.

KHL season have started on Monday. All ice hockey world are waiting Kunlun's first official game on the 1st of September
Looks like Metallurg Nk are not going to play off again. And Dynamo Minsk will start only on September 6th after the Olympic qualification.
