This isn't the 80s or 90s where Canada has to neutralize a higher skilled team by making them play on cement with a ball as hard as a rock and skin freezing after 25 minutes. Canada is as skilled as other teams, that's clear in these games, and to be honest, many of their top players don't play in cold conditions.
It's not going to be nearly as much of an advantage for this team as the CSA planned. Let's hope there is no injuries.

I wonder if Davies maybe requested it. His hometown and such.
