2012 World Championships StatTracker

(2012-05-03 20:35 posted by B. La Rose)

The 2012 World Hockey Championships took place in Sweden and Finland this year. Despite the Habs missing the playoffs, only a handful of players represented the team as many players declined for various reasons. Still, Montreal fans were able to follow the progress of Lars Eller, Alexei Emelin, Max Pacioretty, and Tomas Plekanec as they went for gold.

The tournament format changed this year. This time there are two groups of eight teams with every squad playing seven preliminary round games. The top four teams from each pool move onto the quarterfinals while the bottom two teams are relegated. Note that under player totals, the result column shows the team record. Scores with an asterisk beside them denote OT/SO games.
