The USA may boast one of the one of the deepest talent pools in international ice hockey, but they enter their final group-stage game as underdogs. Ryan Warsofsky's side have so far managed four wins from their six fixtures, their only defeat coming at the hands of a well-drilled Switzerland side. If Czechia defeat Germany today (19 May), the Americans will head into the game knowing third place is guaranteed, with a slim chance of climbing to second or even first depending on other results.
Meanwhile, defending champions Czechia have looked every bit like title contenders once again. With four regulation wins and an overtime victory against the Swiss, it is hard to look past them for the 2025 title.

'I always hated it': NHL expert blasts Edmonton Oilers for major tactical fail
This in from ESPN's Ray Ferraro, perhaps the sharpest commentator in hockey, his assessment of the failure of the Edmonton Oilers to cleanly move the puck out of their own end in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup playoffs. On The Ray & Dregs podcast, Ferraro noted the Oilers often attempted to lob the puck out, only to lose possession in the neutral zone and have the pounding Panthers come right back at them. 'That high flip has become a tactic around the league,' Ferraro said. 'And I always hated it because we finally get the puck, and now it's like we're on the punt coverage team. Right? They flip it up, we go down, they've got the puck again. Like, why can't we pass it out? And if Edmonton's D can get back to make a first clean touch, I think their first play has got to go up the middle of the ice. You rim it around the boards, and Florida just snuffs it out. Like, (Edmonton needs to) get back quick as you can. Maybe that open spot is the middle of the ice, and that backs off their D. And if it doesn't, then you can go to the high flip.' Ferraro added: 'But it's not easy, right? Like Florida is not going to give you any time to do it.' 1. To check the validity of Ferraro assessment I went over zone exist in the first period when the Oilers were most on their back heal against the Panthers. Florida built up a 2-0 lead in the first period on two even strength goals, the second one coming after the Oilers failed to advance the puck, Edmonton's Mattias Ekholm whiffing on a clearance and Florida charging right back into the Oilers zone to score. 2. I looked at every time the Panthers or the Oilers gained possession of the puck when they were in their own d-zone. If they made a clean break out play — which included any d-zone clearance that went deep into their opponent's end and gave the clearing team a chance to forecheck effectively — they got a passing grade. If the puck was picked off in the d-zone or neutral zone leading to a quick counterattack, they got a failing grade. 3. Florida made clean exits on 26 out of 40 attempts, a success rate of 65 per cent. 4. Edmonton made clean exits on 26 out of 53 attempts, a success rate of 49 per cent. 5. That's a significant difference between the two teams. That's a major advantage for the Panthers. In building their 2-0 lead, they relied heavily on effective counterattacks, while thwarting Edmonton's attempt at the same. This led to more offensive zone time for the Panthers and led directly to one goal. 6. So what to do? The Oilers have seven d-men who can move the puck. But Troy Stecher struggled most to move it against Florida in Game 5. John Klingberg is a sound passer of the puck and more creative than Stecher. The Oilers should likely go back to him. Ekholm also had his struggles, so maybe move him back to pair up with Evan Bouchard. Darnell Nurse and Klingberg would be one other pairing, with Brett Kulak and Jake Walman rounding things out. These d-men can all make a pass. They can all skate with the puck. They're full capable of beating the Florida forecheck, even as the checkers come in fast, hard and dirty. Lobbing the puck out or rimming the puck around the boards didn't work will in Game 5. Not one lob or rim worked to move the puck out under possession in that key period. The play can work as a last resort, but they also fly in the face of Edmonton's strength, quick advancement of the puck to fast forwards like Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. It also strikes me that Edmonton's centres might provide a bit more support in the d-zone, working with the d-men to advance it, something Florida excels at, a three-man unit pushing the puck up ice, two d-men and usually the centre helping out. 7. The key to this series is whether Edmonton's d-man puck movement can get the best of that fierce Florida. forecheck. If Edmonton can, they will launch dangerous counterattacks and be more able to dump the puck in places where Oilers forecheckers can create havoc, either winning the puck or hammering on the Florida defenders. It's time for Edmonton to launch it's own blitz of passing, skating and hitting. Florida is at their worst in their own defensive half of the ice. They can be exploited with stretch passes for breakaways. Now is the time. Game 6 is the moment.

College World Series winners and losers: The best and worst from Day 3 in Omaha
College World Series winners and losers: The best and worst from Day 3 in Omaha Show Caption Hide Caption Which NCAA baseball teams could blow up the bracket The Montgomery Advertiser's Adam Cole and The Southwest Times Record's Jackson Fuller break down who could wreck the tournament bracket. OMAMA, NE ― Day 3 of the 2024 College World Series saw Coastal Carolina become the first team to punch its ticket to the semifinals. The Chanticleers rode a strong start from Jacob Morrison to a 6-2 win over Oregon State. Meanwhile, Louisville stayed alive with an 8-3 win over Arizona in a game that was closer than it seemed, as the Cardinals scored six runs in the eighth inning after facing a 3-2 deficit. Louisville will face the Beavers in an elimination game June 17 (2 p.m. ET), with the winner advancing to the semifinals and needing to beat Coastal Carolina twice. Here were the winners and losers from Day 3 at Charles Schwab Field: WINNERS Small ball There were three home runs hit during Day 3 in Omaha: one by Arizona and two for Oregon State. Both of those teams lost. Louisville, which won the first game, had just one extra-base hit, a double. Coastal Carolina, the winner of the second game, had two doubles. The Chanticleers had two sacrifice bunts; Louisville had one sac and a bunt hit. The Cardinals also stole three bases and took advantage of errors. Mid-majors Unlike in basketball, where mid-major powerhouses often make the Final Four or even win titles, it's become increasingly difficult for mid-majors to do well in the College World Series. Before Coastal Carolina's run, the last mid-major to compete in the semifinals in Omaha was also the Chanticleers in 2016, when they won the national title. Before that, the last teams to do it were Fresno State and San Diego in 2008, the former of which won the national title. Paul Skenes For a player who is notably playing in MLB currently and whose former team didn't play, Paul Skenes got some airtime on Day 3. First came the reports that Skenes, the former LSU pitcher and 2023 College World Series Most Outstanding Player, would be attending the Tigers' winners bracket game on June 16. Then, a graphic on the ESPN broadcast compared Coastal Carolina pitcher Jacob Morrison to Skenes. According to the graphic, those two pitchers had the most starts with six or more innings pitched and one or fewer runs allowed in the last five seasons. Morrison pitched 7⅔ innings of one-run ball against Oregon State. LOSERS Defense In the pitcher-friendly Charles Schwab Field, the impact of any defensive mistake is magnified. Oregon State and Arizona learned that lesson the hard way. The Wildcats committed two errors and allowed four unearned runs amid a six-run eighth inning for Louisville. That included a throwing error by the shortstop on a routine play and the pitcher dropping the ball on a rundown at home plate. The Beavers also allowed four unearned runs thanks to two different errors, one that allowed Caden Bodine to reach to lead off the game and a second when Bodine hit what should've been an inning-ending double play in the fourth inning, but the second baseman booted the ball, leading to one run, and another run scored on a wild pitch afterwards. Hot mics During the College World Series, umpires are mic'd up. That helps make calls more clear, but several players didn't realize the mics were on and were audibly heard shouting expletives after at-bats that didn't go their way. Program loyalty: Oregon State, Coastal Carolina baseball led by former players in College World Series 2025 The (former) Pac-12 The league formerly known as the Pac-12 made waves by getting three teams into Omaha, now in two different conferences and one independent, something that the actual Pac-12 hadn't done in decades. But one of those teams, Arizona, has already been eliminated, and Oregon State will face elimination after falling to Coastal Carolina. UCLA is in the winner's bracket, but will be a heavy underdog to LSU. Aria Gerson covers Vanderbilt athletics for The Tennessean. Contact her at agerson@ or on X @aria_gerson.
