Yup. She looked good in warm up, didn’t get on the ice sadly.
Chinese goalie had issues with the goal pegs which overseas goalies tend to find difficult in Dunedin, and moving laterally – lots of the goals were passes across him.
China looked pretty good – including the 5 thunder guys who played together – until midway through the 3rd when the floodgates opened.
Two virtually identical goals – Hay high to Wannamaker coming down the left, across to Huber driving the right post in about 30 seconds started the flood. Only difference between the two was first one Huber had to dive and deflect, the second he was still on his skates.
Stampede beat Swarm in Auckland once didn’t they though? They didn’t look impressive against them at home, but they’ll be confident that they can beat them up there.
Pretty cool time lapse video of the rink being put up and down in Christchurch: http://vimeo.com/27707167.
I might need to watch it again – did they put any ice on top of the markings at all? Or was that edited out.

Solid game from Stampede that Thunder didn’t properly fire until the third when they got 3 goals – plus one that they got the puck over the line but missed out on through an early whistle. Four goals in the first period to Stampede – including a shorthanded one pretty much shut the gate on the game.
