How about those penalty boxes at the Davos arena? You can get a hot towel and some wine with a light snack.

A frenetic final minute of action, but Canada holds on for a 3-2 win and will play the winner of HC Davos - HC Lugano in the Spengler Cup final.

Canada wins 3-2 in a nail biting finish. They're off to the final for a shot at repeating as Spengler Cup Champions. The final will be on tomorrow at 4 am MT.

Lugano beats the host Davos 4-0.
That makes the final Canada vs Lugano.
Lugano, a Swiss team, is undefeated in this tournament so far.

HC Lugano blanks HC Davos 4-zip thus Canada plays HC Lugano for the Spengler Cup championship tomorrow. Who's getting up at 4 am MST to watch this live?

Anyone who gets up at 4am for the Spengler Cup is a true, true ice hockey fan (unless it was an otherwise scheduled wake-up). Plus they're crazy. You would have to be clinically fanatical to carry out such a task.

Ryan Wilson, who tried out for the Flames in the 2014-2015 season is another notable Lugano player.

Maybe. Waking up at 4:00 AM to lay on your couch and watch hockey is not exactly a hardship. Kind of sounds like fun actually.

If you can't wake up for it, just stay up all night instead. Problem solved.

From Elliotte Friedman's 30 Thoughts:
Quote:
9. Great holiday week for Mason Raymond. The forward, a veteran of 546 NHL games, had seven points in five games for Canada’s Spengler Cup-winning team. This hadn’t been an easy few months for the Albertan, who was skating with the University of Calgary since his contract with Anaheim was terminated. His wife, Megan, is dealing with a recent diagnosis of Lyme Disease, although Raymond understandably did not wish to give any further information. What’s terrific is the entire family (two children and both sets of parents) made the trip to Switzerland. “In mid-November, I got a call (about playing). It was family first — I wouldn’t go without them — because these holidays were very important to me. I was thrilled that we could go. I had a blast, getting my love back for the game. On the flight home, I was looking at all the pictures. You’ll never forget how proud you are of what you accomplished.”
10. Told he might be the first-ever NHLer to be so complimentary of his in-laws, Raymond laughed. “We get along very well,” he replied.
11. Due to his family situation, Raymond declined AHL and overseas opportunities. But that doesn’t mean he’s closed the book for good. “I’m 31. Now, that’s getting older for the NHL, but in the European leagues, you’re still in your prime. We’ll see what the future holds. There were some interesting and intriguing offers. I learned I still love it.” His performance in Davos will increase interest. And, if NHLers are not at the Olympics, he’s exactly the kind of player who could end up wearing a Team Canada jersey if he’s competing overseas.
