4 Nations Face-Off
Hopefully we can keep this out of PARF.
I was actually playing in my beer league on Wednesday so I missed a lot of the Canada vs Sweden game, but it looked like a good one. That Canadian Power Play has the potential to be brutal with MacKinnon, McDavid and Crosby.
Was pretty disappointed to hear the booing of the national anthem last night prior to the USA vs Finland game, but it is Montreal. I would like to hope the same will not happen in Boston when the games move here, but who knows. I was at an AHL game not long ago here in CO against a Canadian Team and the crowd was very respectful of both anthems.
I understand it is international play, and some folks get pretty excited about that.
The US team seemed to start out a bit slow but gained momentum as the game progressed. We did seem to get a few lucky deflections and bounces, but the offensive pressure was applied in the 3rd period. It has to be pretty cool for the brothers to be playing together on the same line.
I am looking forward to the games tomorrow. I wonder if Finland has enough offensive prowess to get by Sweden. For the US vs Canada it could be a high scoring game.
