Re: 2019 IIHF Women's Worlds
After awhile we couldn't stand the noise anymore so we turned the sound off. Of course, we couldn't hear the two broadcasters, but then we already knew Amanda is Phil's sister and Alex is Bobby's daughter so we figured we were okay.

I stopped attending Switzerland games after two periods.

The cowbells certainly haven't helped the Swiss as far as their hockey skills are concerned. They've definitely gone downhill since the last Olympics. Having to suit up 16 and 17 year-old girls shows a total lack of depth in their system. Hopefully they can build it up again and become more competitive.

Ironically, today is the 19th anniversary of that famous Christopher Walken sketch on SNL. Is nobody willing to say, 'More Cowbell'?

If NYC was a separate entity for international play, it would have a total lack of depth as well, and that's roughly the population we're talking about. It hurts the Swiss to have somebody like Laura Stalder out, because they can't easily replace her. It's even more surprising to me that Sweden has fallen back as far as it has. Not that it is that much bigger than Switzerland, but it is a more traditional hockey hotbed.

Re: 2019 IIHF Women's Worlds
More than tiresome. I attended a Team Switzerland exhibition/tuneup game here in 2010 just prior to the Vancouver Olympics. It was held in an arena with stands on one side and there were many Swiss supporters with those cowbells clanging endlessly. At first it was amusing but after a while it was more than tiresome. I had to leave in the 2nd period, as I recall, because I couldn't stand what that racket was doing to my head.
That stuff can cause auditory damage.
It's no joke.
It's actually stupid.

Much like the Constant buzzing sound of the Vuvuzela’s at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. It became unbearable.

rather than depending on immigrants, maybe Sweden has decided encouraging women to have babies instead of playing hockey is better policy given the rate of births to citizens

Canada 2 - Finland 0 after one.
WOW! Unbelievably blazing fast game!
On a Canadian pp Finland was all over them as though they had 7 skaters on the ice causing Canada all sorts of problems with their breakout thereby dominating play and neutralizing the Canadian pp...and Canada wasn't dogging it either.

Canada 4 - Finland 0 after two.
Gable with a laser beam wrist shot that couldn't have been any tighter 3 hole.
Seemed like Raty was quite surprised at the speed and accuracy of the shot...after which she was pulled. Could be strategic in saving Raty for the semi finals since she appeared to be favouring a leg.
Then Jenner to Gable with an immediate great feed through two defenders back to Jenner...a quick move and a backhander in. Very fast.
Jenner wearing the "C" (assuming she wasn't a co-captain) with Poulin out with the injury.

Canada 6 - Finland 1 final.
Finland with a strong (although seemingly innocent) wrist shot from the point through traffic found its way past Szabados.
And Nurse wired a wrist shot tight 3 hole, just like Gabel's, (both from the opposite side) and almost as nice.
(Forgot to mention initially that the puck was on edge and rolling for Nurse's goal so the degree of difficulty was different than Gabel's so maybe it was as nice, on balance.
Spooner, regardless of her hat trick yesterday vs Russia, is playing substantially better than she has in the last few years.
Gabel is a great addition. Lots of Green and Gold on Team Canada.
A bit of a rhubarb behind the Canadian net with under 2 minutes left as a Finish player gave Szabados a face wash to which Saulnier took serious exception. Both found their way to the penalty box.
This is by far the best Team Finland that I have ever seen play (what a phenomenal forecheck) and still they end with this kind of result vs Canada and the US. Makes you think that they will never make that final step up because it would seem to require more offensive firepower but what would they lose in the meantime? Can it actually get better? This team skates like the wind.
And Japan defeats Sweden? Never say never, I guess.

Great to see the former Golden Knights Fast/Ambrose/Gabel/Rattray all contribute today. Gabel's wrist shot on her 2nd goal was a real snipe and her saucer pass to Jenner for Canada's 4th goal could only be described as Gigueresque
. Only saw the highlites but the announcer's comment about Gabel after Jenners's goal was priceless.
