Could be my bias but feel like Friborg wanted that shootout.. they got Berra in net so I'm not saying it's a bad bet. I like Vomacka to be honest.

Nonetheless. that 3 on 3 was dogshit ugly. If you were trying to sell the game this ain't the video you show.lol

Radil has to be hungover.lol he has had so many looks and he is a good player but today is an adventure. Czechs have missed the net twice.lol

Vomacka was excellent! Glad we won. Hope Will is okay. I'm a big Sedlak fan so nice to seem put it away. From 4th line NHLer to Gold Medalist at a Skoda's to a shootout winner in Spengler.lol

Trying to deke the goaltender rarely works because most players can't stickhandle well enough or make the deke good enough. The goal scored was lucky to get by Berra. The deke that did work the Czech player missed the net.

Ice looked bad.. that 3 on 3 OT no one could control it. favors the goalies but I think both teams should've swapped to head fake and shot because the dekes weren't working.

You really need fresh ice to try the fancy moves.

Nothing? Canada is playing outstanding! I was hoping for a 3-2 batte with Zadina and Stransky scoring.

The wife doesn’t know it yet, but someday we’re going to the Spengler for some hot cocoa and nice wintry ambience. Also to bend the ears of various string pullers to my personal financial benefit.

so the Straubing Tigers have 4 sask players on the roster!? lol.

Leier, Lipon, Noiger, Fonstad?

Always weird when guys have played for Canada in the olympics or Spengler previously, like Tambellini etc..

I don’t watch the Spengler Cup at all with the exception of the odd highlights from Team Canada’s games. I noticed there were Canadian fans in the crowd. Is that normal?
Yeah, there are quite a few Canadiens in Europe, why shouldn't they cheer for Canada in a hockey game when they have the opportunity to do so?

Doesn't HC invite the players families to the tourny so that they can spend the x-mas holidays in Davos. Team Canada is/was quite popular among the swiss since the teams used to be mainly built with canadians playing in switzerland which led to many swiss cheering for team canada so I guess there are also many swiss wearing a canada jersey in the stands

I’ve been to the World Championships in Germany.

My parents worked with the Canadian embassy at the time and they arranged a bus for interested personnel to go there from Berlin.

I was visiting so I tagged along.

I’m sure there are plenty of similar situations, not to mention expatriates or family members of the team.
