World Juniors: Gold Medal Game 1st period

After the first period its 2 nothing Canada. The game has been a lot closer than I thought, the Russian squad has played decently enough to get by without a blowout so far. I'm still awaiting Kuznetsov so decide he's playing tonight. The entire Canadian team has looked good even in net, Canada's one real weakness. The atmosphere here is crazy, I've seen about 10000 Canadian jerseys but only one Russian and one American, its hard to believe this tournament is being held in the USA. A local bartender was telling me there's usually 50/50 for Canadians attending most Buffalo games as well. Back to the action more later.
