    USA- Canada (Men's)

    1-2. Did not watch, but apparently Canada were indeed better. Goals
    from Shaffelburg and David. Lineup not too different from what Marsch
    was doing in the Copa America (4-4-2). A lot of Canadians now playing
    in the EU - including Bair, Koné, David, Bombito and Cornelius in France (former two are injured though), Davies in Germany, Larin in Spain,
    Eustaquio in Portugal, and Choiniere with Grasshoppers in Switzerland.
    Buchanan is also injured, and I doubt he will get much playing time with
    Inter Milan anyway.

    Anyway first victory in the US in ages (67 years) and only the second
    one ever. Yes, Canada have not won in the USA since before I was born.

    How can it be a meaningless game when we beat the US of A on their own
    soil?

    There's nothing meaningless, or friendly, about it. Take that Yanks!

    I liked the Adidas Authentic jerseys.

    I never realised there were different 'levels' of hockey
    jerseys. It turned out I had a cheaper Addidas version of a NYR
    jersey, made in Indonesia... I've since learned there were/are
    Canadian made versions which are - supposedly - better quality.
    BUT at a much higher price... of course.

    I would like to think that those ones would last more than nine
    or ten washes though... but I'm not paying $300-$400 to find
    out! :-)

    Although CCM were the best quality jerseys. It seems to
    me that NHL jerseys have gone downhill since 2005.

    Welcome to the modern world!

    Have you seen football jerseys these days? They've also gone
    downhill quality wise - BIG TIME - over the years. Once they
    were cotton with a sewn/embroidered badge (and had sleeves) now
    they are made out of some light material, have a stuck-on
    plastic badge/sponsor name (that comes off after a few washes)
    and are so flimsy you can virtually see your hand through
    them... plus, they are so light players now wear t-shirts under
    them. Which kind of defeats the object of wearing a lightweight
    jersey in the first place!

    Cheaper material with shoddier production quality,
    yet they cost a lot more $.

    Oh, you've seen a Nike football jersey then!

    Everything made in Canada is of higher quality !

    The MiC Fanatics Authentic Pro sweaters are made by SP Apparel in Quebec
    with the MSRP being $500 CAD / $425 USD. Add a name / number or a "first
    run" tag { quack quack } and you are talking about $600+ CAD / $500+
    USD. These are the same sweaters as worn on the ice by the players
    though. Or so they say. In theory they shouldn't fall apart in the
    washing machine.

    I would like to think that those ones would last more than nine
    or ten washes though... but I'm not paying $300-$400 to find

    Hockey jersey collecting is a serious business for some around here.
    These people will need to be putting in some serious overtime shifts to
    collect the MiC Fanatics Authentic Pro ones this year !

    No i haven't. but i did hear about their Baseball jerseys.
