Morning Skate: Canada wins major international hockey tournament, sun rises again
Earth continues its orbit. Milky Way floats aimlessly in the ether.

Lace ‘em up. Time for the Morning Skate.
THE WORLD CUP HAS COME AND GONE
... and you’ll never believe who won! The young, inexperienced upstarts from Canada upset the Team Europe favorites with two stunning goals in the final minutes of the World Cup Final. Pundits across the world are comparing this to other notable upsets like Michael Phelps winning two gold medals at Rio or Alabama beating Kent State last week.
Could this be the signature moment this small hockey country needs to finally become a contender on the international stage? We can’t wait for the next World Cup of Hockey to find out.
SHAW-T CUT TO THE BENCH
Canadiens offseason prize Andrew Shaw is already suspended three games for a dangerous hit. The Canadiens are so tough to play against.

- Future NHL star (mark it down) Kyle Connor still has an outside chance at avoiding the first round of Jets cuts.
- Devils fans should be disappointed with the team’s loss to New York.
- Brandon Pirri is making roster decisions hard for the Rangers.
- The Jackets keep winning in overtime.
- An important young defenseman is back in Sabres camp without a contract. Elsewhere, Jets fans weep.
- It’s too early to figure out how the Atlantic will look at the end of the season. (But look for our predictions soon!)
“HEY, THE SEASON IS AROUND THE CORNER” CORNER
- What will Nick Bonino’s next contract in Pittsburgh look like?
- Kyle Quincey is now a Devil. Does that make New Jersey better?
- The Ivan Provorov era in Philly is almost upon us.
- So let’s say Tobias Rieder doesn’t sign with the Coyotes soon (or ever). Here’s how they replace him.
- Vancouver faces major questions this year.
