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.

That is disappointing. I've been to US/Can games where the crowd sang both anthems. There's a reason so many team jackets bear the logo of the two nations' flags crossed.
