Anyone who was worried about some great players dropping out of the World Cup of Hockey apparently had no reason to be. If the exhibitions that have occurred prior to the Cup’s scheduled start date (Sept. 17) are any indication, we’re in for some exciting hockey.
Quite a few things happened Thursday and Friday as the exhibitions got into full swing.
Team North America proved it would be a group to fear with an early 4-0 rout of Team Europe. The youngsters, all 23 or younger, put up three goals in a five-minute span to blitz the likes of Roman Josi and Zdeno Chara.
