Just looking at that vid Neil posted, will one of the keys be (considering the conditions), get the puck on net at all costs, and hope for a rebound?

This, and make their attackers feel the turf early on.

Do we get to use our sticks and crosscheck?

Thats exactly my point. Cfl field width is standard. Compare where the soccer sidelines are to the cfl sidelines at thf, you can see them faintly during either sport. From there you can see that THF is a couple yards wider from the cfl sideline paint. 
 

 

What is THF?

FWIW, I believe that picture is from Indianapolis.  Which makes me a bit sad as I want shock value.

When is there flight scheduled to arrive. I had a look at Edmonton arrivals but couldn't see anything from Indianapolis.

I'm pretty sure they are chartering from Indianapolis.

Definitely. But on flight radar websites you usually see the charter flights as well. I cant find one though.

This is going to be unpleasant for Mexico.

[Kadenge]

looks like Mexico is using the same approach as CMNT did in the away game in Haiti. Get in the night before and get the heck out right after the game

We were avoiding being kidnapped at gunpoint, they are avoiding frostbite.

Extreme snowfall warning in effect. I was going to drive up again tomorrow from Calgary after a half-day of work but am leaving after work today. Travel tomorrow (and today for that matter) is going to be perilous. And so will the game, hehehe (for Mexico).

[weathermanfran]

Don't discount wind being a factor early match... strong northwest winds expected tomorrow, diminishing right around match time.

Hopefully the City of Edmonton has also hired some people to shovel snow in the stadium tomorrow...

[Kadenge]

Any other good news from Edmonton?
