Drove up to Utica for the weekend. Saw US-Finland Saturday night. Sweden-Japan yesterday and Canada-Czechia yesterday.
Canada dominated that game, it wasn't even competitive. Looked like a youth game when a B teams gets matched up with a AA team in a tournament.
Thought the US let Finland hang around and if they play like that tonight, Canada will win.
Same for Sweden. Were dominating, but Japan tied late in 2nd before Sweden pulled away. Canada-Czechia game was only about 1/2 full, thought the attendance for that game would have been better.
Whats up with Japan? Lost to China, Sweden and Germany.
They are just not very good, relatively speaking.
Oh and whoever was doing the SOG for the games I attended was not very good. When a shot hits the goalie and then the post, it counts as a SOG. When a shot hits the goalie and the opponent then shoots again and again and hits the goalie each time, they all count as shots on goal.
