Madness! Denmark just eliminated Canada!

Denmark eliminates Canada from worlds with stunning late comeback

The third period of the world hockey championship quarterfinal between Canada and Denmark was dominated by a team that outshot its opponent 22-10 and scored a pair of game-breaking goals less than two minutes apart.

As a Sabres fan, it’s a shame that Rasmus Dahlin is injured and unable to play in the Worlds… But Tage Thompson is having a great tournament for the USA; he’s making to sure to remind them of their foolish exclusion of him from the Four Nations team…

I haven’t posted about hockey in a while, but I watched a game last night that blew my mind.



At least 6 fights, 100 penalty minutes, and somehow they found time to score 15 goals? It was tied 7-7 with 5 minutes left! Sabres won 8-7 in surely the game of the year, if not the decade…
