Is there a sporting event in North America that starts exactly at the scheduled time? What a weird place...

 

[Czechboy]

I should also say.. cheering for Slovakia despite my unfavorable prediction. Excited to see Dvorsky and Pekarcik! And ASP on Sweden.

And we don't seem to need to fight and trample people to death at sporting events, crazy lot we are over here.

I see it starts early and everyone is in mid tournament form.lol

 

[Czechboy]

Great saves from Urban.. he may be busy. Did he get drafted?

 

[theslatcher]

FUS brings one joy.

 

[NyQuil]

It’s always a bit jarring when you watch your first WJC game after watching the NHL for a few months.

Pace is just always going to be a bit slower.

Nice save on a good Slovak chance.

 

[Thirty Seven]

All Sweden so far

 

[theslatcher]

Bergqvist... That was rough.

 

[jj cale]

They are in a pretty small venue to play this game right?

Looks like a good crowd and I like the atmosphere so far.

Not drafted.

Tomas Kralovic's first shift of the game was legendary... not sure if he will get a second one.

 

[EK47]

Hävelid is such a shit coach I can’t even..

67's arena. Capacity around 10K. Which is the capacity of the Metro Centre in Halifax a couple years and that barn was shaking to the foundation lol I would love if they let Canada play in actual junior rinks more often honestly.

it is, 10,000 capacity. The gorgeous Spengler arena has a capacity of 7000.

Apparently it is, has a real small barn feel to it for me but 10'000 isn't small.

Anyway, glad to get good crowd noise for a SWE-SLO game in Canada.

That was...interesting.

Hoping my Slovaks can keep this close.

 

[jj cale]

Hopefully Slovakia can find a way to stick around in this one.

 

[Czechboy]

Silly penalty... Swedes look like every team that has beat the shit out of my Czechs from 2000 to 2021.lol

 

[PanniniClaus]

He hasn't been back yet... I know I would have a hard time putting him back out there in a close game. Slovaks turning it over repeatedly.

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

Swedes forecheck and neutral zone defense has been smothering, except for that one brutal turnover.

 

[Czechboy]

Slovak 22 doing some nice work.

 

[theslatcher]

Least predictable PP.

 

[Czechboy]

Asp's name goes from logo on his left arm all the way to the logo on his right arm.lol
