Canada beats USA 3-1 in exhibition. Scorers: Canada - Lecavalier, Sakic, Richards. USA - Drury. Three of the four goalies (Luongo, Theodore, Esche) were sharp on both sides, with the possible exception of Conklin, who was beaten three times through the five-hole. Granted, he had a tough night; two of the goals on the PP, two on odd-man rushes.
Finland over Germany today, 4-2. Goals: Finland - Jokinen (2), Peltonen (2). Germany - Hecht, Schubert.
Another injury note: Hal Gill (USA) broke his foot blocking a shot, and he is unavailable for the remainder of the tournament. Team USA is progressively getting younger and less experienced on the blueline - also smaller, with the loss of Gill. He is replaced by Avalanche rookie John-Michael Liles.
