For me Spengler Cup is symbol of New Year and I watch that tournament for last 10 years. I even wrote many articles about it on Serbian Wikipedia.

 

BTW is this the first time Team Switzerland take part?

nice effort by Mountfield HK against Team Canada, even if in the end it wasn't enough...

now I hope today they won't be blown out by HC Davos...

meanwhile the other game from yesterday was really horrible...a boring one-side show by the Swiss National Team, with Dinamo Riga being just spectators who didn't pay their tickets...
