McDavid and Eichel will join forces on Team North America

TEAM EUROPE: Is GM Miroslav Satan feeling lucky? Injured at the moment, but brilliant in Russian Federation and the reigning Hart and Vezina Trophy victor, Carey Price returns as the favourite to assume the No. 1 spot in goal.

"He was upset that they'd just lost", Chiarelli said.

It's hard to argue with a group that includes Ottawa's Erik Karlsson, Arizona's Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Chicago's Niklas Hjalmarsson.

And that's true, because there are so many great players to choose from.

"I think it should be easier", Ruff said.

As expected, Connor McDavid and Jack Eichel were named to Team North America, which is open to players 23 and under.

Teams have until June 1 to make their final seven selections to complete their 23-player rosters. Add John Klingberg, the young defenseman from the Stars in June and you may have the top defense in the world.

Some civil rights groups also expressed concern about a mainstream politician failing to denounce white supremacist ideology. I'm going to get along very well with the world, and you're going to be very proud of me as president.

The Swedes are stocked with a balanced mix of veterans and youth.

Henrik Lundqvist doesn't go to Team Sweden; Team Sweden comes to Henrik Lundqvist.

Like Canada, Sweden also boast a deep blue line and loads of talent at the forward position where playmaker Nicklas Backstrom will be among a slew of offensive threats including twins Daniel and Henrik Sedin, Henrik Zetterberg and Alexander Steen.

Now the World Cup of Hockey has returned after a 12-year absence, and it promises to be a good one.

"I think Jags deserves a lot of respect for all of us because of what he did for national team ... and Czech hockey".

Team Czech Republic lit up news feeds early Wednesday for its roster of young bucks. That news was of course manifested from the announcement that Jaromir Jagr and his mullet were not initially included on the list of participants. Weber was a significant contributor to that country's Olympic gold medal efforts in 2010 and 2014.

Jagr leads the Panthers with 46 points (21 goals, 25 assist) in 60 games. Players wear their flag on their shoulder and the names of each European nation in the unity stripe across their sleeve.

Kolo Toure: Europa League can save Liverpool's season
Liverpool started the sharper of the two sides but wasn't able to engineer any notable chances during a drab first half. The game should never have gone to extra-time or penalties. "We can get three points against City [on Wednesday]".

NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman hopes hockey fans are just as excited to see the 16-man World Cup of Hockey rosters as he was. Six players (JustinAbdelkader, John Carlson, T.J. Oshie, Max Pacioretty, JoePavelski, Blake Wheeler) are alumni of the United States Hockey League ...

It's no surprise that vet Alex Ovechkin is at the helm of the Team Russia ship, along with the likes of Pavel Datsyuk and Evgeni Malkin - the usual suspects. "The gates are open for everyone".

Other Rangers to make the first cut of their respective teams were captain Ryan McDonagh (USA), Derek Stepan (USA), and Mats Zuccarello (Europe, via Norway).

The matches of the World Cup of Hockey are played outside the NHL regular season allowing best players of the league to compete in the worldwide event unlike the annual World Championships, which usually overlap with NHL's playoffs. Lauri Marjamaki has to pick a new leader beyond goaltender Tuukka Rask.

For all intents and purposes, this World Cup marks the start of the post-Teemu Selanne era for Finland.

The Capitals defeated the Penguins 3-2.

Paul Merson states his prediction for Liverpool v Man City
The Reds have the chance to close the gap on City to six points despite the fact they are five places behind them in the table. City have lost their last two Premier League games on the bounce and are at risk of falling out of the running for the title.
