[mattihp]

3-1 Canada.

Tavares, Benn, Duchene

Granlund with the game of the tournament.

PS: Can we borrow Sharp?

No, but you can outright have Kunitz!

 

[Oan]

Canada with 8-0 since games are played on paper.

 

[Novak Djokovic]

Patrick Sharp and Dan Hamhuis are in. PK Subban out. No clue as to which forward is coming out yet.

I think Rask decides the game. If he plays extremely well, Finland will win. If not, I think Canada might squeak through with a win.

 

[Damisoph]

Komarov will be yappin'

 

[Shrimper]

Canada to win but I'm looking forward to seeing Maatta up against Crosby. 4-3 Canada.

 

[Pi]

Gotta watch out for Komarov tomorrow...he's going to play exactly like Tolleffsson did against Canada. He will not hesitate to hit anyone and he's a bit of a pest.

 

[psycho_dad*]

Finland wins 3-1 and once again we're going to have completely surprised people wondering how it was possible, as always.

They haven't announced that yet. I wouldn't be surprised if Vlasic was the D that gets scratched. And Jesus Christ let the forward be Kunitz.

I keep seeing this posted but is there any confirmation of this? I know Babcock said Hamhuis & Sharp are in but I haven't seen anything that indicates who comes out, or who plays in goal for that matter.

 

[nashthevash]

I havent been able to watch any of the games yet. What are Canada's first and second PP and PK units so far?

 

[No1Joker]

Gotta watch out for Komarov tomorrow...he's going to play exactly like Tolleffsson did against Canada. He will not hesitate to hit anyone and he's a bit of a pest.

He speaks more different languages fluently than any other pest in the world. Our secret weapon.
Kunitz you better sleep well tonight because Leo will be on you 60minutes tomorrow.





Seriously.

 

[Oan]

Finland wins 3-1 and once again we're going to have completely surprised people wondering how it was possible, as always.

Yeah, I just can't wrap the thought around my head either, how the hell Finland could beat Canada? It's like the eight wonder of the world or something.

haha hopefully the Finns waste Komarov on Kunitz.

 

[Starbuds]

So, if this game finishes in regulation the winner gets 1st seeding.

 

[Novak Djokovic]

The only people predicting Canada's win thus far is either Finnish posters or other fans, so please... stop with this crap.

It will be a tight game.

 

[Era of Sanity]

No, but you can outright have Kunitz!

Go for it Finland. Call him Kuunitzenen

 

[RobertR]

4:2

JMA with a hatty

 

[Kharkov]

Going to be terrible. Canada 6-0. Granlund sustains injury and wont play in this tournament again.

 

[Era of Sanity]

Hoping for a one-sided, easy win for Canada but will probably be a close, tough game.

 

[JJTT]

Highly doubt Jussi will play center if he plays with Granlund.

 

[MountainGoat]

3-2 Canada, someone scores both of Finland's goals

 

[Hzzz]

1-5 can

 

[Zanon]

I wish Finland was fully healthy. I like watching teams play at their best.
