Now to the coin flip - Does Butter select McDavid?

Helluva game to watch! Sucks it'll be a shootout to decide but damn entertaining.

yeah, I wish they would extend OT out to 10 minutes before going to the shootout.

I love The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly music for the shootout...

Kinda disappointed in the hotness of girls that are presenting the player of the game awards - Maybe they are saving the knockouts for the medal round?

Great defensive play by Pelech...

Nice to read he did something positive after your impression of him in the last game.

Does Griffin Reinhart have 1 more game to sit?

Yes that's correct, one more game. And Pelech played much better today, Ekblad although he did score a nice shorthanded goal did have a couple of gaffes in his own zone today.

If Calgary has the 1st pick who would you want Ekblad, Sam Reinhart or Dal Colle?

I think I would select Reinhart, but Ekblad wouldn't be too shabby either.

I tend to think if the Oilers have the pick Ekblad would be a lock. Buffalo would probably take Reinhart. Most Isles fans I've talked to think Ekblad should be the pick. They figure with Reinhart, Pulock, Ekblad, Pokka, Pelech & the rest of their D prospects the Isles could be set on the blueline for at least the next decade. I would prefer a forward, but wouldn't mind Ekblad one bit.

This tourney looks wide open this year. I think Canda will bounce back.

Mark Masters ‏@markhmasters 1h Sutter hinted that Fucale would start Monday v Slovakia; noted Paterson would like a few back

Remember the days when Canadian junior teams were tough to play against? None of the other countries have any fear playing us anymore. We just let the timid Czechs, soft Swedes and wussbag Americans come into our zone and do whatever they want now....sigh

Well, fuck

In other news, holy shit are there a lot of Canadians here.
This is early on in the USA game, so 4 or 5 hours before our game started
Note the sea of red. I saw maybe 10 USA jerseys in total

And here's how we waited for game 2 to start
