I think most hockey fans are cheering for Team North America. Why? Because they represent the anti-old school thinking of veteran leadership, not to mention speed and skill. Well, speed killed tonight. Team North America routed Team Finland in dominate fashion. I really didn’t notice much from Team Finland other than poor goaltending, so that says a lot.
We’ll get onto the recap, but honestly, I think Team North America could compete in this tournament. I’m all in. Screw grit and leadership, this team is fun.
First Period
Despite their blazing speed right out of the gate, Team North America took the first penalty coming from Shayne Ghostisbehere.
