For Those About to Rank: IIHF World Championship Jerseys (The Cannon)

Over in Finland, the IIHF has gotten through the group stage in their World Championships, determining which of Canada, Finland, Sweden, and the US is ...

Not to mention that their logo is easily the best in the tournament. Not to mention their the only team in the tournament with cuff striping, somehow. And then I noticed the polar bear, and officially fell in love with the set. With the massive size of the Nike yoke, and how high up they put the chest stripe so it’s flush with the arms, the jersey is just too empty between the stomach and knees. Again, Germany is in a similar boat to Denmark and Slovakia. This team needs some hem stripes. By far the most interesting design in the tournament, the Italians just miss out of the Top 10. A royal and navy diamond pattern serves as the chest stripe, which is literally the only thing separating them and Switzerland in the rankings. In addition, the logo is too complex to make out, and the blue backing doesn’t really match the jersey nor the pants. Similar to the homes of Finland, Switzerland, and America before them, the navy and dark royal just aren’t distinct enough to separate visually, while the music staff pattern gets lost from a distance and looks too busy up close. Next up are the Frenchmen, featuring Alexandre Texier. Similar to the 2020 NHL All Star jerseys, France has a grey music staff running across the chest and arms, as well as flag-based striping on the socks, and a subtle navy blue yoke on the homes. It’s a fun, underrated time, and it would make sense to check in on the Blue Jackets partaking to see how they’re doing. The two primary jerseys have a navy chest stripe, with a royal blue stripe on top and a red stripe below, with the USA Hockey logo across it.

With Driedger going back to the bench after the faceoff at centre ice, Canada went back to the attack and exactly 30 seconds later the game was tied. It was the only official shot on goal that was credited to Sweden in the middle frame. Nylander was called for tripping 25 seconds into overtime, and with the momentum all on their side, that was the opening the Canadians needed. We came in after the first and made a couple of little adjustments, and then our guys seemed to settle down.” With 3:52, the Canadians went to the power play when Rasmus Dahlin shot the puck over the glass. Canada’s best chance to score in the first two periods came late in its only power play, when Ullmark scrambled to stop a barrage of shots, finally holding and freezing a Batherson one-timer. Canada continued pushing, trying to get closer, but Ullmark was in the zone. Canada’s attempts to climb back into it were stalled in the first period by a pair of minor penalties. Joakim Nordstrom blocked a shot by Damon Severson and it landed right on the stick of William Nylander just inside his own blueline. I thought we had the game right where we wanted it but in the end they capitalized and the beat us. When we do that we have a good chance to get far.” In the end we played in a manner that we should have all game long.

Then the 37-year-old winger tied the game early in the second period, picking off a breakout pass and firing the puck past Slovakian netminder Adam Huska. His clutch four-goal performance in the knockout stages of the 2019 World Championship was just that good. In fairness, he had missed the final two games of the preliminary round with an injury and likely wasn’t at 100 per cent. It was a tip-in from Max Friberg, with Ekman-Larsson picking up an assist on the play, his second point of the tournament. With two minutes remaining and goaltender Chris Driedger for the extra attacker, Canada was still down by two goals. Switzerland was the surprise winner of Group A, followed by Germany, with Canada and Slovakia finishing third and fourth.
