Not sure how well known this is in the States, but obviously here in Canada this is something a lot of people look forward to. Basically all the top young hockey players under 20 play for their country in a tournament.

Well it's the finals right now between Canada vs Russia, and I can't recall a more chippy, intense hockey game that I've seen in a while. Something about playing for your country brings out more passion. Well anyway, incase anyone hasn't been watching, it's been a good tournament so far, and this final game has already been pretty wild.

That was a huge scare. Can't believe no one scored in the 3rd period. Russians played their tail off and their goalie stood on his head too.

I said the same thing. After the 2nd period, who would believe that no more goals would be scored. Either way awesome win for Canada, super exciting and awesome national pride

I had no excuse not being in Toronto, I live just 30 mins outside of it, the bar atmosphere alone would've been great. Lord knows, that's the first time the ACC has seen anything like in... forever?

I live about an hour and 30 minutes away. I could have gone but I watched at home too lol. Maybe in 2 years I'll go if I'm still in the area. Where are you at Tripp? I'm in Trenton

Oh nice! My Doberman breeder is from Trenton, I've been there many times. I live in Oakville. I kinda like how the tourny was split into two different cities though, hope they continue to do that.

they are reversing it for next time. Canada round robin in Toronto and playoffs in Montreal 2017
