If they plan on Huska tomorrow against the U.S. then I'm guessing Tomek in the third. If they stay with Huska it could mean Tomek tomorrow night.

Saw the first period, didn't see first two goals on him. I'm thinking Tomek in period three.

31-3 shots for Canada. 2 minutes left second period.

Huska with two or three really nice saves, but can't stop em all. 4-0 Canada.

Could be Tomek time if Canada gets to 4 here.

Tie game right now between Canada and Slovakia. Tomek won't get much time if this kid Huska plays like this all tournament.

Finland now 0-2. Has Sweden and and Switzerland left. Possibly looking at not making the knock out round.

Denmark 3.....Finland 2.....late third.

Sioux hockey is more important than USA hockey.....

Russia leads Latvia 3-0 in the first. Latvia goalie not sharp.

You've got to believe the Slovak coaches wouldn't start him with the knowledge that Jost has seen him every day in practice at North Dakota. Then again, you're right....Patrick Roy couldn't save Slovakia tonight, so does it really matter who the goalie is?

Final from Montreal: Swiss 4 Czech Republic 3 in OT.

3-1 now Swiss half way through the third with the Czechs heading to the PP. *Edit……Czechs score, and its 3-2 with under ten to go.

After two periods Switzerland leads the Czechs 2-0, and boy were they buzzing at the end of the second period. Czechs looked a little tired at the end of the second period there, and the Swiss didn't play yesterday.

Some like it, some hate it. They were the better team, outshot the Finns, and could have really won 4 or 5 to one if they bury their chances. With their pre tournament showings against Canada and the US it was definitely a big step for the Czechs.

2-1 Canada almost 3/4 through the second.

You are correct. Forgot Canada last year in the opener.

Will agree to disagree. Jost with a nice hands goal. 1-0 Canada over Russia.

2-1 Czechs late over Finland. Make that a final. Someone needs to tell them they didn't win the entire tournament......

I hate how they always open with a patsy. Wish they had opened against Russia or Slovakia. Playing a Russia right away would get the cute out of their game pretty quick.

3-1 going to the third. Don't take penalties and they'll be fine. Thompson is the real deal. Very impressed. Goodbye UCONN after this year.

3-1 USA....Keller scores after Thompson didn't shoot on a great chance a bit earlier.

That was a UND power play at its finest.....no real threat and a ton of indirect passing. Surprised Latvia didn't get a puck near the net.

2-1 USA....about 8 minutes left in period two. Just killed a 5-3 where they didn't allow a shot.

How does Tage Thompson end up at UCONN? Basketball fan?
