World Hockey Championships

Anybody out there watching the USA - Germany game? It's 1-0 Germany about halfway throught the third period. The crowd at this game is huge, I wonder if it's a record.

For those in the US, I'm watching this on Universal Sports and the Ducks play by play man John Ahlers is working with the Kings color analyst Jim Fox. A weird pairing.

Ryan Carter has just tied the game up at 1-1.

edit: the goal has now been awarded to Christian Hanson

I think I heard about 76,000 fans are in attendance, Esls...They must be running out of beer and brats...

If they sold it out it is. I read in the paper they specifically used a stadium that would have like 500 more seats than the largest crowd at a hockey game previously.

Is the game online anywhere? I'd love to see it.

 

[esls79]

They just said the attendance is over 77,000.

Go to Universal Sports and it should be pretty easy from there.

Yep, largest hockey game crowd ever apparently confirmed by Guinness.

They changed the scoring back to Ryan Carter now, for those interested.

Thanks.

 

[BostonAJ]

Wow.

 

[esls79]

From what I've seen, the Okposo, Foligno, Dubinsky line has dominated this third period except for on the scoreboard.

Germany scores, but it will go to video review.

At least Toronto doesn't get this call...

Looks like a goal of the shins of the Germany player.

Franz Beckenbauer says it's a good goal

 

[BostonAJ]

Damn. That's embarrassing.

 

[puckhead]

Damn. That's embarrassing.

a) Germany always plays it tight.
b) 77,000 is a hek of a home-crowd push
c) I never worry too much about this tourney, the best CDN / US talent us usually still busy over here. No offense to the IIHF, but this tourney is one notch above the Spengler Cup in terms of North American talent. (no offense to Hnat Dominichelli)

I heard they are handing out the Denslow cup this year to the winner, any truth to that?

Only until the Michigan, Michigan State game which is going to be played at Michigan's football stadium.
Might get over 100,000.
