They only had 5 nhls in the world championships this year

Yikes, but I guess a fair bit were in the playoffs, and the SHL is one of the higher ranked men's leagues in the world.

 

[Jobber Doink]

I always cheer for you dirty Canucks whenever American inevitably gets eliminated from international soccer competitions

How often does that even happen? lol

Tiers Go NHL > KHL > SHL > Liiga < Czech

It's also every 4 years though so I wouldn't trust my memory

but the drop off is a lot larger then it used to be from NHL to SHL due to KHLs rise

That's usually when we have NHL players. Although the previous one had no NHL players and despite that Canada I think still finished top 4?

Yeah the KHL is a high level league. I'd be tempted to watch if it wasn't for you know, time zones.. and corruption to levels the NHL would blush at

HArd to take it seriously everytime they have Putin play in a game and just let him score

I thought it was OAR v Germany and Canada v Finland, but I forgot who won bronze. Honestly, that is just a show to how Canada is good at hockey where we legit couldn't have our top 100+ players and still get a medal
