Friday’s game between the United States and Canada at the 2018 World Junior Championship is one that won’t soon be forgotten by those that got to watch it.
It will also, probably, never be forgotten by those that got to actually play in it.
The first outdoor game in World Juniors history was a wild affair between hockey’s two biggest superpowers that ended in dramatic fashion, with the U.S. staging a 3rd period comeback to eventually win 4-3 in the shootout, all the while as a blizzard relentlessly dropped snow onto the rink.
Dallas Stars goaltending prospect Jake Oettinger was in net for the Americans.
