    I hope that doesn't mean the finals will be a boring (from EU perspective) US vs CAN matchup. I'll take another upset in the semis for a guaranteed medal. Germany didn't play too bad in the groups against the US. Hype!

    Canada ends Finland's reign IIHF – Andy Potts – 25th May 2023

    Canada ends Finland's reign

    Canada battled to a 4-1 victory over Finland, bringing the host nation's title defence to an early end in the quarter-finals of the 2023 IIHF Ice Hockey World Championship. The Canadians advance to the final four once again.

    For Tyler Toffoli, Canada's captain here, this is familiar territory but in rather different circumstances. In 2015 he was part of a stellar Canadian gold-medal roster in Prague. Now he's leading a less heralded crew towards a possible repeat.
