The final tourney day before the final begins with an afternoon matchup between Canada and Finland in Boston. Talk about the game and what Erik Haula can do in the comments.
For some reason, the NHL and NHLPA scheduled a 1 PM game on a Monday in Boston. I know it may be a holiday for some but the matchup may not be a huge draw. It will still count.
