Slovaks play boring hockey. Lucky they won. Non of the Americans stepped up to win the game. Slovaks need better puck control. They won congrats.

Calgary/Edmonton years ago was well over $1000 per package. And that was for one city or the other. At 800 bucks US per package it would be well worth my while to travel to Buffalo to see the tournament. The cost to see the tournament in Canada is about equal to the cost of travelling to another country to see it.

For the 2009 tourny in Ottawa we paid approximately $750 for 17 games (included all the Canada games) plus the quarter, semi and medal games at the then Scotibank Place arena. For an extra $40 or so, we got tickets to the Russia/Sweden round robin game at the old Ottawa Civic Center as well.
Saw 2 of the best hockey games ever in the USA vs Canada New Years eve game and the Russia/Canada semi final game. Eberle scores to tie it with mere seconds left.

This US Canada outdoor game is terrible viewing. What a waste of a great match up.
Worst decision ever.

Why the hate on for American hockey? The boys play in WHL, OHL, and QMJHL as well as college. They represent North American style hockey. Many are dual citizens.

Not hate.
It is called country rivalry. US come across poorly and arrogant and fall on their arses.
We live in Canada. We are Canadian. Allegiance is to Canada.
I don't hate Edmonton but I want them to lose versus Flames.
Lol
You're funny.
I do hate this venue. The ice looks poor. Visibility poor. Not the best showcase for this rivalry.

Snow is killing the pace, the puck actually is disappearing along the dasher in the snow, passes are all bogging down and arriving late....not a showcase for the talent that is there. Still Canada looking good.
Edit: looks like emergency clearing in progress

They take 10 to remove snow. Start and lines are almost covered again

Yahoo. That was a great goal. 20 minutes of plat and 50 minutes snow shovelling for the win

The only thing missing from this game is a big cooler full of Lucky on the bench, and a couple of French guys fighting even though they are on the same team... yes there is a story there. Every time I see an outdoor game in a snowstorm I remember.

Well hopefully the Canadian team can regroup and get focused for their next game. However, what has to be in the back of their minds, is why the cannot score once it goes to a shootout. Something for the coaching staff to figure out.

Terrible decision to play outdoors, great for the financial end, but puts to much luck into the outcome.

This should have never gone to over time. 2 bad selfish penalties, no discipline. Take em behind the wood shed and smarten up. Better now then in the medal rounds. Hopefully they learn from this.
