And that was how the World Cup of Hockey happened.
First Period:
The game started bizarrely for Canada, who looked....sluggish. Really sluggish. Bizarrely sluggish.
Europe was dominating, sluggish. Canada brought a less than stellar effort to just get this over with. Even the goaltender wasn't playing at 110%.
And that's when the first Bruin scored.
Zdeno Chara scores from a very skillful shot on the rush with Canada sorta...kinda...somewhat defending and Carey Price kind of being...there, I guess. He put Europe ahead 1-0, and would start off one of the longest times Canada has ever trailed in this tournament.
