Same pretty much for Canada. Three points from 4 games. But that said, no-one here gives a toss about the World Championships and it barely gets a mention. Because, of course, the playoffs are on, and most of the top players are still playing for their clubs. It's like holding the World Cup while the Prem is still playing and the players staying with their club sides. Totally meaningless tournament.

Exciting stuff Swanny. Did you know Brighton used to have the best ice hockey team in Europe, the Brighton Tigers? Common knowledge to locals, but less so perhaps in Sweden?
