Game Thread: WJHC - Canada vs. USA - December 26th

[dash]

It's usually on New Years Eve, but they're starting with this classic matchup on Boxing Day. The Americans are loaded for bear and will give the Canadians all they can handle.

Go Go!

Merry Christmas to all my Canadian friends.....may you all die like dogs on Saturday (figuratively speaking of course)

 

[awaz]

Go USA!

(But hopefully sanheim and konecny aren't the reason the Canadians lose)

some pretty good hate going on in the first period of the Sweden-Swiss game.

Leafs prospect William Nylander got rocked by a Swiss player and left the game.

Fuck.

yeah, if you saw any of it, there were several rather vicious hits in that one. one Swede (can't remember which) had his face bloodied pretty good.

I notice no mention of Marner calling Tkachuk "dirty"....I call Canadian coast bias

the Czech-Russia game was pretty intense/physical too. given the natural rivalry already with US-Canada, if these first two games are any indication, it's going to be an all out war out there today. I can't wait...just hope no one gets injured on either side, especially in the first game of the tourney.

USA should wear those Lake Placid styled unis for every game, they look great.

Hey Judge, that Joe Hicketts is such a smooth skater...

I'm Sorry but Mason McDonald looks like a nerd
