The last day of the IIHF World Championships is today, and if you aren’t playing outside on this long weekend, you have hockey to watch inside.
First up at 9:30 a.m. is the bronze medal game, the losers’ championship, between Canada and USA. No one predicted these two teams would be in this position, but they were both done in in their semifinals by a hot goalie and their own mistakes.
The USA lost in a blowout to Sweden after very undisciplined penalties — a trip by Keith Kinkaid on an unsuspecting player and a two handed wood chop slash by Johnny Gaudreau behind the play — let Sweden score three goals in three minutes.
