Great post game attitude shown by both teams. Seeing Canadian players stick around to sign memorabilia passed over the glass really shows their appreciation towards the zealous atmosphere the New Brunswick crowd provided throughout the tournament.

Cries in Nova Scotian... ;)
Seriously though, the tournament was actually split between Moncton, NB and Halifax, NS, with the bigger games (including the final) being played in Halifax.

Awww crap…My apologies for being an idiot. Thanks for the correction.

No worries! The Maritime provinces are very small and cozy, so we don't mind getting mixed up.
Just don't call us Newfs! LOL

We love our Atlantic Canadian brethren, but Newfoundland is pretty unique, and distinct from the Maritimes.

The placemat I stared at everyday as a child while eating my cereal was a laminated map of Canada with Provinces, Territories and major cities highlighted. I have failed with older age while earning the resented status of Onterrible.

Halifax & Moncton did a great job. Those communities should be damn proud of the tournament.
hmmm.. permanent home(s) of the tourney????

I don't think it should be held in NHL cities in NA anymore

Still upset over our semi-final loss, not fair that Czechia won

Whoever thought, that deciding a world championship with a 3v3 OT is a great idea should stop making such decisions... Felt so anticlimactic to see it end like this. With a boring 2v1

I remember watching toews score 3(?) times in the SAME shootout.
That’s worse.

Full strength overtime could conceivably drag on for hours. What would you prefer? A shootout?

he wants a sloppy 2 on 1 at even strength I guess.

No a normal 5v5

Wouldn't happen that easily in a 5v5... I fell like the 3v3 is designed to end games and not championships. There was a situation before with a weird bounce of the glass, that could have been a goal for chzech republic, if the puck bounced a little different. Randomness is a much smaller factor in 5v5 then in a 3v3, and that's why I feel it's the better option for s final...

Got freaking hairy there for a second. Czechia played incredibly solid the entire game and outplayed in the third at times. Was some great hockey and maybe one of my fav finals in years. Go Canada! GG Czechia!
