I want to take my son to the USA - Denmark game to cheer for Johnny.
My son wants seats behind the USA bench. Is there anyway to know on which side of the ice the USA bench will be?
I think the US is the 'home' team for this game.

It's a great tournament. I love it. Canada will win Gold again as long as Comrie isn't the starter in net. Would love to see Scheifele win Gold after the season he has had.

Sorry these seem at odds.

It is not a crappy tournament.

Korea was heading for a first ever World Championship birth next year until they lost 5-0 to Austria!

now they need to beat ukraine (the worse team) in regulation to get in.

They have former Hitmen Alex Plante on the team!

Austria already up 3-0 on Poland, looks like they will be promoted for next year.
Korea-Ukraine at 11:30. Korea needs a win to get promoted, Ukraine needs a win to not be relegated.
Could see some funny things late in the 3rd period

meh, it'd be typical if we somehow managed to blow this late in the game ...

EDIT: oh, I see it's 5:0 already very nice. Hope we can actually stay up for a change.

a team staying up would be a miracle
since 2007 each time two teams have come up they have gone straight back down

The main 14 for the last 10 years have been
Canada
US
Russia
Czech
Finland
Sweden
Switzerland
Slovakia
Latvia
France
Germany
Belarus
Denmark
Norway

I think there's a significant difference between a great hockey game and one of the greatest ever played.
