Also - if you missed this twist last night in the game to determine 5th place , F Nikita Filatov (RUS) had his captaincy stripped prior to the 5th-place game between Russia and Finland.

Did anyone read Eklund’s blog today on the World Juniors? He had plenty to say about Taylor Hall. He compared him to Messier and said if he was starting a team, he would take Hall over the past 4 #1’s. Very glowing remarks.
Since this came from Eklund, we should now avoid drafting Hall. Anything Eklund says, usually the opposite happens.

USA also gold medalists in the U-17 tournament
You know, it wasn’t until I heard a comment made during NHL On The Fly (NHL Network) last night that I had any clue at all that USA had also just won the gold medal game over rival Canada at the 2010 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge, on Monday night (1/4), also hosted in Canada.
So…Olympic gold for the trifecta?
Wow – thank you! How cool is that?
Checked the link; and I love the attendance; 1,797. Can that be right?
Gleason for the "C" :
Just what do we need to do to make this happen?
