Even more Hockey

Last night most people who had bought tickets in advance thought that they would see some poor teams like Belarus or Latvia. Instead they lucked out in the draw and got to see Germany vs Canada.

I watched with my best friend in Canada, Geoff.   To say Geoff is passionate about Hockey and the Canadian team in general would be a major understatement. Although the game was not even close the Germans played well for a group of semi professionals against the powerhouse Canuks. What was evident was the amount of passion in the stands. It reminded me of the Gladiators vs the Lions and the gladiators were tearing the Lions limb from limb. In the end the 8-2 score reflected the quality of the players but Germany could hold their head proud they scored 2 goals against the Canadians which almost doubled their goal output in the entire tournament lead up to this game. Final score 8-2.
