On facebook someone said only one player on both teams has played outdoors in the past. They're not used to playing 3 hours outdoors in the cold. When we go outdoors when it's cold for any length of time we're dressed for it. No way that hockey players are dressed to play for 3 hours in minus 20 temps with skates laced up tight, equipment, jerseys where cold penetrates into the protective equipment, helmets that don't prevent frost bite to ears or prevent heat loss, hockey gloves aren't designed to combat frigid temps & frostbite . Throw in sweating & it's something players weren't ever prepared to deal with. Hard to believe that I have to explain this to you, iHeart. Edited December 30, 20177 yr by SpeedFlex27

December 30, 20177 yr comment_311387 That was just shitty hockey. I really hope this idiotic playing outdoors fad is almost over.

I really hope this idiotic playing outdoors fad is almost over. this is all that needs to be said. The game itself means less than nothing in terms of "who's the better team?" and "can we beat the americans?" This game and a game indoors will be completely different. I honestly don't know if we'd do better or worse indoors, but the game would be completely different and that game yesterday is no indicator one way or another...

Come October, November the same could be said for professional Football.
December 30, 20177 yr comment_311403 Canada was really undisciplined out there. That game was there for the taking and instead they piss it away with really stupid penalties.

All football players have played in shitty conditions outdoors. Hockey players play every game indoors. Playing hockey in those conditions affect the players way more than football.

However, last sentence don't agree as in way more. Sometime football games are almost decided by the coin toss.

Sometime football games are almost decided by the coin toss. Football players have bare arms so you have to figure while the games may not be as good they seem to be able to adapt to snow & cold. I don't think it's realistic to think hockey players are able to do it like football players can. Edited December 31, 20177 yr by SpeedFlex27
January 2, 20187 yr comment_311684 And the Czech Republic gets the upset and Finland is out. Honourable mention to Jets prospect Vesalainen on an absolutely sick shootout goal.
January 3, 20187 yr comment_311766 Don't think that's the last time we're going to hear Dennis Beyak mentioning Vesalainen's name...
January 3, 20187 yr comment_311768 Wow, Vesalainen looks big and very skilled. I know it's against teens but he's still one too.
January 3, 20187 yr comment_311769 Slovakia holds its own against a pretty stout Swedish team, but come up short late. Very entertaining game.
January 3, 20187 yr Author comment_311843 Samberg with 20 minutes of ice time and an assist in Russia game - looking like a very good pick Hajek, Mete and Clague looking like steals of 2016 draft
January 5, 20187 yr comment_312254 anyone else notice Canada's PK seems to look alot like the Jets? push it to the top of the circle, let them shoot on the goalie from a ways out without any traffic? maybe it was a coincidence but sure looked like it to me this tournament so far that they were running a similar PK.
