I've been impressed in this tourney at how physical he plays. For a smaller guy, not afraid to mix it up. There was some pre-tourney buzz that Adam Fantilli might challenge Bedard's status as the top pick .. seems kind of silly now. 21ps for Bedard / 3 for Fantilli is a bit resounding, especially when it's a 17yr old.

Since there's not a WJC thread, Logan Cooley has been really good for the US - impressed at his overall game. Also Jimmy Snuggerud - already a better player than his dad
Yep, a heck of a game, and I think Slovakia surprised a lot of people last night, especially their goalie, as Bedard himself said.

Going to be a great game tomorrow night as most U.S. vs Canada games are.
