Americans are playing quite good so far. Outplaying Canada.

I wonder if some bad blood from last year will spill over. Wasn’t it the Can vs. USA game where the cheering got a bit out of hand and someone stuck a stick in a players face from the bench?

Can’t remember if that was USA vs Russia or Canada vs. USA.. I think it was Canada vs. USA. From what I recall, it spurred with the Americans making ridiculous over the top goal celebrations, and then what I think was the Canadians giving it back later as we were winning. And when one of the Canadians (again, I think) skated by the bench after a goal, the American put his stick in the path and a bit o’ the rough stuff ensued afterwards.

Dawgtoy: Yah, those european jerseys/gear are definitely uglified by all the advertising on them. I’m sure they need the advertising to help keep those leagues afloat and competitive, but really, it would be nice if they’d just stick to advertising on the boards.

Hell, even the Enmax powerplay we used to have during PPVs (which would drive me nuts) looks good compared to those jerseys.
