Game Thread: WJHC - Canada vs. Switzerland

[dash]

Switzerland usually gives Canada a tough game, just gotta survive and come through with two points.

Go Go!

I'd shoot for 3 points instead of 2 but at least 2 is better than 1 or none.

lol - You are correct esls, a win in regulation (and three points) is the goal.

No surprise that Blackwood is getting the start between the pipes, he was the No. 1 guy coming into the tourney and he needs to see some action.

All tied at 2-2 late in period 2.

Now I'm hoping Canada can get two points as we are off to overtime.

Virtanen has had 5 or 6 glorious opportunities to light the lamp.

Canada wins 3-2 in a shootout (Point and Barzal same move, same result).

/Two points for Canada, but they needed three. Now they need some help to finish top of the group.

I didn't see the entire game, but the parts I did see he was very good. Shut the door in the shootout. I think he will be the goalie for Canada going forward in the tourney.

Blackwood signed a 3 year entry level contract with the Devils today.
