Good game from the Slovaks, however I won't lie that it was nice karma to see Nemec crying his eyes out at the end there after blowing kisses to the crowd earlier in the game. Sorry bud, but you looked like a jerk during your goal... and your prize is to look like a baby at the end.

Agree, blowin' the kisses sealed his fate.. karma she's a b***h .. looked good on him..

Bedard's slalom stick handle through all four Slovak players was perfection.. what a way to end it!

Canada owned that game.. 57 shots .. so many posts.. Bedard alone could have had about 6 goals, so many AAA chances he typically connects on.. good scare for TC.. I noticed a few of the guys getting into the bad habit of blowin' the zone early and looking for offensive breaks.. left overs habits from the blow out games.. need to tighten that crap up vs. other teams that have better offense..

Next one up .. USA

Go CANADA!!

Oh YEAH!

I think Hockey Canada and the IIHF should learn that this tournament is better played in smaller cities like Halifax. The atmosphere has sounded awesome all tournament.

IIHF and HC are both salivating about filling the 22,000 seat arenas in Vancouver, Toronto, or Montreal.. $$$..

Next year its in Sweden.. I need to go one year.. but been saying that for ages!

I don't think they did a great job selling seats in Edmonton - but the prices were extortionary. Who would pay that much to watch kids play?

I just think there are other things stealing focus in NHL cities. Paying NHL prices to watch Canada in the final, sure. I think everyone enjoyed that game last year. I just didn't see or feel a lot of interest in the tournament as a whole. Especially now that the tournament has been through every major Canadian city in the last ~15ish years because of the two year (Canada / not Canada) rotation. I hope they stay away from Canada and the northern US cities for a few years.

Not sure what they did about Edmonton, but when they had it in Vancouver, the 1st thing they did was mandate that all season ticket holders of the WHL Giants had first chance to buy tickets (they announced this a year in advance so that they could sell more Giants seasons tickets.. kinda smart), but had some conditions on them, something like you had to buy a "tournament pass" which included other nations games.. after Giants ticket holders were done, then there was a "lottery" system for the public .. I tried it .. not even a sniff. Regardless, even if you got a ticket, the prices being charged were astronomical.

I tried the lottery for Edmonton's hosting .. zero chance.

What they should really do is charge regular prices for TC games and lower the prices for the other country's games.. just to fill the seats.. instead they tie those games to Team Canada but the people only want to see TC.. and don't even bother going to the other games.. empty seats. I remember getting free tickets to a Czech vs Germany (?) game in Vancouver and the place was empty.

I've given up trying to see TC games in Canada, the WJHC are too big here, best chance is to go see them overseas, where the tournament doesn't have the same following, I remember looking at TC game tickets in Czech that were like in the $30 range a few years ago.. you got to pay for a plane ticket, and an Airbnb.. but you can make a longer vacation out of it!
I think going to a tournament in Latvia.. Czechia.. or any of the Norwegian countries would be awesome!

Latvia is the place I'd want to go. I hear they're an absolute blast at Euro events.

I think Edmonton did something similar. I didn't try because I didn't see value in the packages. I entirely agree with your point about the lesser games. There's not reason to make money off of an Austria game. Just get people into the building. I'd watch them and Sweden for 10 bucks. At $50? No thanks.

Maybe wearing the TC jersey rubs off on him and he scores a goal tonight vs Islanders? :)
