[Jesus Christ Horburn]

I hope Canada goes hard at Bieber.

 

[UsernameWasTaken]

8-0 Canada.

 

[Belenos]

8-0 Canada.

Sure...

Canada had better get its act together. Switzerland should have won that first game. We just had Eberle and that was it. We'll get stomped by Sweden and Russia if we even make it that far.

 

[tjtommy64]

Any streams for the game?

If it makes you feel better, Switzerland beat us in two straight roughly a week ago. Granted we didn't have any NHL players, but still.

We didn't have any NHL players as well.

Actually the Swiss players involved in the 7th game of the playoffs final were not in the team as well (6 or 7 players).

 

[Tyler Durden]

Who's going to wear # 10 Perry or Sharp? And what number will the guy who dosent get 10 wear? Also who are our captains and alternates I heard Sharp was but when I saw his interview after the game he didnt have the C on his jersey.

 

[Canucks LB]

why are some players slashed out?

 

[Ziostilon]

i don't know if this is real:

I wouldn't be too concerned. Firstly because it was the very first game these guys had played together, and secondly because the Swiss seem to have Canada's number no matter what. They took the Olympic team to a shootout in 2010, 4 years after beating them 2-0 in Torino. I'm just happy with a win regardless of the score or circumstance. It would seem no matter how much better Canada actually is or whether we're on track to win gold or finish 7th, it's always gonna be a close game.

 

[MBTendy]

Who gets the start for the Swiss?

 

[ohheyhemsky]

Anyone know who will be covering this game in Calgary?

 

[swisdan]

Who gets the start for the Swiss?

It would be Tobias Stephan.

 

[Mestaruus]

Yeah, why wont Perry / Getzlaf play? Of course they aren't needed, but wont the other players find that weird if they get special treatment or something and that could affect team chemistry or is the Canadian coach eliminating players from the roster or does Canada even do that?

 

[Stad]

Who the hell is Adam Mitchell?

 

[croAVSfan*]

Who the hell is Adam Mitchell?

Plays for Mannheim (DEL finalist) in DEL

 

[Bakayoko Ono]

Yeah, why wont Perry / Getzlaf play? Of course they aren't needed, but wont the other players find that weird if they get special treatment or something and that could affect team chemistry or is the Canadian coach eliminating players from the roster or does Canada even do that?

Getzlaf is still in North America due to "a family commitment" and will join the team in Helsinki. Perry will play today according to TSN's John Lu.

Swiss 3 - 1 Canada

last is an empty netter by Yvo Rutheman !

 

[duga]

off-topic: very spontaneous!

I got a spare ticket for tonight, somebody just jumped off the wagon

if somebody is interested, just PM me, or write in just here... till 6 o'clock

(PS: you don't have to pay for the ticket, spend me a beer and a burger would be enough...)

 

[David Suzuki]

Should be a good game!

 

[therealdeal]

Canada should hopefully play better today, they should be less jet lagged and have a couple days of practice under their belt. The Swiss are always gamers though. Wish I could watch this game.

@JohnLuTSNMtl: Canada fwds vs. Swz: Burrows - Benn - Perry;Purcell - Nugent-Hopkins - Eberle;Skinner - Tavares - Sharp;Kane - O'Reilly - Ladd;Mitchell#WHC

@JohnLuTSNMtl: Canada d-pairs and G vs. Swiss: Methot - Phaneuf; Keith - Vlasic; Bouwmeester - Schenn; Murray. Ward starting, Dubnyk backup #WHC

Man, that 3rd forward line could easily be a top line. Interested to see how this team does! No Getzlaf today...just resting him, I suppose?
