Finally pulled the plug on my trip to #Switzerland Switzerland for #IIHFWorlds. If anybody needs help cancelling their AirBNB, DM me.

@SullivanHockey @hockey_east @nicktheiihffan @DMandel19 Shut up Bri Bri.

[Mike Klein @MdotKleiner]

@hockey_east @nicktheiihffan @DMandel19 Very interesting to hear. I guess after seeing 20+ years of the #1 seed playing the early game, I had guessed it was up to them. Thanks!

[Mike Klein @MdotKleiner]

@nicktheiihffan @DMandel19 I've seen this elsewhere too. I know for Hockey East (NCAA hockey,) the #1 seed chooses the semifinal, usually the 1st one, but the network puts them in the late game if it's a big rivalry matchup

[Mike Klein @MdotKleiner]

Some idiot blocked me because I set him straight on an NHL player's right to fee agency. I'm satisfied. On another note, I can't believe @CoachDacc actually works with kids.

[Mike Klein @MdotKleiner]

Well put.

[AJ @CoachDacc]

@MdotKleiner @Mario_Tirabassi Hi fuck you and your condescending tone. I know about the fucking collective bargaining agreement. It’s my opinion that it is a dumb rule. So go fuck yourself.

[Mike Klein @MdotKleiner]

@CoachDacc @Mario_Tirabassi No more unfair than the rule that any unsigned player that ages out of CHL is a free agent. It's called the "Collective Bargaining Agreement." All industries have them to grant rights to workers. Strange concept, I know.

[Mike Klein @MdotKleiner]

In other words: Ryan Shea is property of the #Blackhawks
& they can do whatever the hell they want with him. Meanwhile, as property, Shea should have zero rights. Amirite?

@RobertArnott12 @IIHFHockey @pwilliamsNHL @lovehokej @PZHL @hockeyaustria @Hockey_FRA @hockeyhungary @KIHAICEHOCKEY @eestihoki @JPN_Ice_Hockey @SHLS But have any future hosts for the women's championship been announced? I haven't been able to find anything saying they have. If that's the case, then it would be much easier to reschedule. The men's hosts have been announced through 2025.

[Mike Klein @MdotKleiner]

Yup, I'm bored enough to actually go on my personal Twitter page...

[Mike Klein @MdotKleiner]

@RobertArnott12 @IIHFHockey @pwilliamsNHL @lovehokej @PZHL @hockeyaustria @Hockey_FRA @hockeyhungary @KIHAICEHOCKEY @eestihoki @JPN_Ice_Hockey @SHLS Pretty sure that would result in a nasty breach of contract suit. I'm guessing if the 2020 Worlds get cancelled, Switzerland would host in 2026.

[Mike Klein @MdotKleiner]

@USCollegeHockey I'm interested, but I can't DM you. DM me your email address and we'll talk.

[Mike Klein @MdotKleiner]

@JulieRobenhymer Very sorry to hear. Condolences and prayers to you and your family.

[Mike Klein @MdotKleiner]

@XTheOutsiderX @TheAthleticNHL @OvertimeScottB But, but. BEST ON BEST! BEST ON BEST! ::snicker::

[Mike Klein @MdotKleiner]

@USCollegeHockey Days away...107 and counting. All they need is another $20 Million or so. How hard could that be?

[Mike Klein @MdotKleiner]

2026 #IIHFWorlds back in Germany if this gets completed? It wouldn't be surprising. You (maybe, doubtfully) heard it here first!

[IIHF @IIHFHockey]

Will the biggest regular #hockey arena be in Europe in a few years? Beside 2023 #IIHFWorlds host St. Petersburg🇷🇺 also Frankfurt🇩🇪 seems to be up for the challenge!

[Mike Klein @MdotKleiner]

Jayden Struble becomes the 1st current @NEPSAC & @EHFSelectsUSPHL to get selected, goes to #GoHabsGo @ 46th overall.

[Mike Klein @MdotKleiner]

@lyndondueck @LeftYyc @AAVickers It's a nice touch, but I'm glad the @DallasStars didn't do it for "Harley Thomas."
