I immediately thought "Canada won 5-2 over Europe and I think Marchand scored the GWG, what's this about overtime?"

I had actually forgotten it was a best of 3 and somehow combined the two games. I was right that Marchand scored the winner and it wasn't in OT, though... I do actually remember quite a bit about that tourney though. Mackinnon vs Sweden is an all timer.

I went into yesterday not really caring about it either though; it just basically seemed to me like an extended all star format. But the players do seem to care and as a result, it's entertaining, and I care about being entertained, so hopefully that continues.
