1.

CANADA
Dany heats up and Marcel Dionne passes the torch

RUSSIA
Beating Italy: a Semin-al moment in Russian hockey history?

3.

CZECH REPUBLIC
Radim Vrbata is totally radical, dude, and Radek Duda would agree if he was here

4.

UNITED STATES
Citizen Kane is a classic

5.

FINLAND
A fine start: let’s see how they Finnish

6.

SLOVAKIA
Sure, they have a Hossa, but they could use a Crosby

7.

SWEDEN
A 6-5 win is great, if it’s over the Soviets in the 1987 Canada Cup

8.

SWITZERLAND
If only Ottawa had played France in the playoffs

9.

DENMARK
If we’d kept up our first-minute pace, we’d have beaten the Czechs 60-0

Penalties benefit Germany in football, not so much in hockey

Patrick Thoresen isn’t coming, which drives the Norwegians nuts

12.

LATVIA
More goals, less horns

13.

BELARUS
Hope you saved some goals for the rest of the tournament

14.

SLOVENIA
Kopitar was right about “five goals” - too bad Canada scored them and not him

15.

ITALY
Mamma mia, those Russians are faster than Ferraris!

16.

FRANCE
Samuel de Champlain wouldn’t be too impressed
