Columbus, Ohio - they said so to you.
Jonathan Toews is, at this time of the World Cup Hockey Jersey, was said to be the closest thing you can get hockey in the playoffs in September.
Brandon Dubinsky is, this was promised that it would not your typical exhibition game.
T.J. Oshie is multiplied by the then 3 or 4 or 5 ", of the most heated NHL - say conflict, asked us to imagine the Washington-to-Chicago and Pittsburgh vs. St. Louis.
"It's good 1 will be tonight," he vowed. "Back-to-back, it will always get there a little awkward, we love to be here. I'll be looking forward to."
For the pre-tournament game, a Friday night American 4-2 "meaningless" win more than Canada in Columbus, it was hoot.
Studded on both sides of club team-mate, anyone considering a tune-up game between countries bordering it, whether friendly had not heard, would be safe and boring.
Or players of the salary is longer, because our memories might be shorter, a lot of people this was assumed that it would be hockey of light.
"It says I have had probably played the top three fastest of the game until now. Maybe top," David Backes of the United States check center. "It has seemed like a pinball in time. You you from the foot summer that is not concentrated in the defense of the principles in order to obtain the hockey, I think I might have fallen 5 times during the first period in an attempt to just reach the check that has come out from the position .
"Everyone 'out there flyin year."
As he spoke, the wound of a small blood on the bridge of the nose of Backes is, had started to clot. Defenceman Dustin Byfuglien walked by and ice pack strapped to his elbow.
In the visitors room, superstar Logan Couture, Tairasegan and Claude Giroux also, must have felt the last of the sting of the summer. All three of Canada's transfer, this can not be the most reckless and the prediction of the generation "Exhibition" Ice (will be returned to the) left at various points in the game.
Ryan Kessler was given the launch of the Shea Weber from behind the board and 5 and the game to forecheck.
He Kessler hit is Toews Jersey after jumped duck "agitator called" borderline "means that two of the retaliation of minors for Canada that ended a labor shortage in the 4-to-3, has led to.
"I like to come out on the power play, there is no manpower shortage in the baby. Usually when a man is executed, you can, it seems there is life," team Canada coach Mike Babcock spoke year.
After Sidney Crosby was the Kyle Palmieri from behind to raise the temperature of the cross-check and benches', this bit of the obstinacy of the poor, has arrived.
"It I was a bit of a different game than the one seen last night on television," the United States of identity -. Installation coach, John Tortorella is, then he told the irony, "it is pretty good rivalry, we the United States and Canada . This is a moment only lights yourself. "
Let's frank of. The United States, we need this one or more. They are red and white plays a keep-away, golden perfection after Carey Price (Hello again!) And the team Canada has been shut out in a structured game to run the 2014 Olympic semi-final of Babcock, set the tone I wanted I was.
Americans, all of sandpaper and a highlight reel is stored in the home country, but it was there. This was as far as the prestige of the state as was about the exit of the shot blocking and quick D zone. Blue Jackets "entrance song if Hulk Hogan did not have contempt goal cannon," Real America, we blow up the 17,791 patriots of the ear of "Nationwide Arena.
"U-S-A!" Chants were swollen.
However, until the home team in the first period 7:54, to register a shot on the price fails, it came out flat.
"We were nervous," was admitted Tortorella said. "Adrenaline is going, [Jonathan Quick] was outstanding, and we found ourselves."
Tip and RBIs Patrick Kane of Zach Parise is, given the severely out Corsi'd the United States suddenly 2-0 lead in a tight first frame, they become outshot, 3-2 in the lead for the third bulk 25 from the rebound 43 is clinging to is, you seal the Derek Stepan sky Netter and W.
Saving making about both Kessler and Ryan McDonough can not believe, I hit the ice in their own fold for repairing their goalkeeper. Blake Wheeler out of his zone, dove as Blue Jays' Kevin pillar in order to poke the puck.
Yes, the United States is younger, faster, more talented roster - but was outplayed by Brad Marchand, Crosby Patrice Bergeron's line, however, in the synchronization 1 game removal scenario, it may not be the problem, look in particular year.
America team, a goal that was dirt close to the kill the penalty, impose its physical will, the goal tender of world class has been designed to have rescue them. This evening, the plan was a success.
"We certainly have not seen in the parade to the penalty box," Tortorella said. "We are honest, I'm going to play a hard game. Sometimes we think that was tonight. Other times in, we did not. "
Backes believes to be a quick and sharp in Saturday night evenly "meaningless" encore of Ottawa.
Now, the United States, has a self-confidence, Canada will have a loss. Fans have been 2 of another of these tilts guarantee, and we were able to see more up to five. Bell for Round 2 dent in just a few hours.
"We can make some noise, get it done," won the winner the United States of captain Joe Pavelski has said. "We had that feeling in '10. We , had that feeling in '14. "
Canada's coach, however, these two tournaments, you know better than anyone how shook for Americans.
"Imagine," Babcock has said to his face irony Babcockian smile, and. "They got to play tomorrow."
