The finals for the World Cup of Hockey start in a few hours, with game 1 set to begin at 8PM tonight. The dominant Canadian team faces off against Team Europe, a mish mash of players who no one gave any thoughts to, but have worked their way into a three game series vs the Canucks.

### Start time: 8:00PM Eastern  
Where: Air Canada Centre, Toronto, ON  
TV: CBC, TVA Sports, ESPN, Game Centre Live  
Live watch party at Maple Leafs Square

So whats going on with the finals? It’s a best of three series being played tonight, Thursday, and if necessary Saturday. The odds are good that Canada will win in two games, Europe lost in the final round robin game for both teams 4-1.

Were they just playing possum? Lulling Canada into a false sense of security? Maybe, but probably not at all, since Canada is more stacked than that time we combined three Jenga towers into one ultimate Jenga tower.

With Gaborik out for Europe, it’s not going to help their scoring. The only hope in my eyes is Europe scores a goal and shuts things down into the most boring possible game.

Yay!
