*The Canadian men and the American men kicked off yesterday \u2014 not against each other, mind you, they just both played \u2014 and it was a good start for both teams. Team USA defeated Latvia, to the surprise of noone. [ESPN<\/a>]<\/p>\n

*And Canada put up five on Lukas Dostal on their way to a shutout victory over Czechia. Maybe should\u2019ve started Vladdy Daddy, hmm?? [Sportsnet<\/a>]<\/p>\n

*It\u2019s so cool that Travis Sanheim is getting to live out his life-long dream of playing for Canada in the Olympics, isn\u2019t it? [Inquirer<\/a>]<\/p>\n

*WELL RICK TOCCHET* SCRATCHED HIM AND HE DIDN\u2019T PLAY AT ALL. Put him in, jerks! (*It wasn\u2019t Rick Tocchet. This is a joke. Settle down.) [BSH<\/a>]<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

*Anyway back to Dan Vladar, who also should be freed from his prison\u2026 he rules. And it was one little chat that may have helped motivate him to give the performance we\u2019ve been seeing so far this season. [NBC Sports Philly<\/a>]<\/p>\n

*Looking ahead, we may find that it is Bobby Brink who finds himself as the first move to loosen up this logjam at wing that the Flyers have to clear. [BSH<\/a>]<\/p>\n

*And finally, we\u2019re looking at numbers 20-22 \u2014 or 22-20, more accurately \u2014 in the latest edition of our 25 Under 25 series.
