WJC: End of first period, Tied at 0

Line of the day, from Gord Miller: "We'd like to wish a speedy recovery to the thousands of Canadians who called in sick to work today"...the pace of the first period has been hectic and crazy. These kids are really, really busting it right now...too many scoring chances to count and both goalies have been outstanding...Steve Mason for Canada weathered a quick start by the US with both Kyle Okposo and Rhett Rakshani making quite an impression...my four year old niece is actually watching and she never sits still for anything!

More to come if I can. Great game so far.
