oh the gang at Sweater nite 11 headquarters were dancin in the aisles this past weekend when we gleefully discovered that Verizon had added channel # 587 to it's ever evolving reportoire ....THE HOCKEY CHANNEL.........24/7 Hockey in high Def.....old games...lost footage....Hockey Nite in Canada......and the World Junior Championships that are going on as we type.......Yesterday our Kids from Team USA , lead by CBA product John Van Reimsdyk , took on the Canadians.....
The US raced out to a 3-0 lead before the game was twelve minutes young, but the pesky Canucks fought back to draw even before first intermission. The game was packed with energy and a little fisticuffs, not a full fledged brawl by Sweater Nite standards, but a nice skirmish by the benches after Canada tied the score.
Our neighbors to the North would eventually take a 5-4 advantage into the closing minutes of play . Team USA swarmed and setup two high quality scoring chances from in front, but alas it was not to be. The Frog cousins tacked on two empy netters to seal the 7-4 triumph......BUT hopefully we get another crack at them in the medal round.
For Canada struggles they earned a bye to the semis, while we must tangle with the Slovaks in the quarters......ask no quarter and give none, That;s what the marines say.....we shall see...
Go USA...fight on for another day.
