[zorz]

4 or less of goal difference would be ok for me.

 

[Kaktus*]

If Czechs show up it could get interesting.

 

[Natey]

Hopefully Wedgewood can play really, really well so we don't have to see Visentin again.

 

[ORYX]

Is Scott Wedgewood the confirmed starter, or is this speculation?

 

[Systemfel]

What does potential mean to you?

 

[thomast]

I have feeling that this game is close game.

 

[Shrimper]

6-1 Canada.

 

[brtriad]

Isnt Frk a Czech?

 

[vorky]

Isnt Frk a Czech?

yes, he is czech. Why?

 

[brtriad]

yes, he is czech. Why?

Curious why he isn't on the squad. I've never seen him play, but from all accounts he's a promising young player.

 

[YARR123]

Hope the Czechs put up a good fight, I feel like this year they have good working team.

Isn't Frk injured?

 

[vorky]

Curious why he isn't on the squad. I've never seen him play, but from all accounts he's a promising young player.

He is not fit after injury.. he did not want to join czech NT at WJC due injury

 

[Swipes]

4 or less of goal difference would be ok for me.

Agreed. It was 7-2 last time, but we have a better goaltender + players, so theoretically it should be less. Theoretically

 

[tony d]

Should be a good game today, I have Canada winning 6 to 1.

 

[ORYX]

What does potential mean to you?

Potential to me would indicate some form of truth, or idea that it is likely.

If your going to be an ass and ask me such a stupid question as this, when my question is 100% legitiment, and adds to the conversation of the "goalie controversy", then maybe you should use a font size larger then 6, and not put the words "Starting goalie" above Wedgewood name?

Just a thought. Didn't realize such a simply question could garner such a stupid answer. If you "heard" it somewhere, great, if not, what makes you believe he may be the starter? It's that simple.

hey...the odds are 50-50.

But if I had to bet it should be Wedgewood!

and Wedgewood every game after tonight!
IMHO the team will play a lot better in front of $cott Wedgewood!

 

[King Woodballs]

Hoping for a Canada win.
As well as a good showing from Scheifele.
Haven't been very impressed with him so far.
I want/need to see him break out here.

 

[Harikkerk]

Sorry, easy game for Canada...

7-2.

 

[ottawadave]

3-2 Czechs with the upset today. Canada is going to take them way too lightly, and the Czechs are going to pounce early. Mrazek is this year's Janus. Lock it up.

 

[Jesus Christ Horburn]

How has CR looked so far in the tournament?

I get the notion that Wedgewood could be the starter. Thats fine, What I'm critiquing though is the response my simple question garnered.

Why don't I just post a bunch of random line combinations and then answer any questions of accuracy with "What does Potential mean to you", otherwise indicating that I was simply just talking out my ass.

 

[Ward Cornell]

who's CR?

 

[Darth Bangkok]

Czech Republic

Does this have anything to do with you being from Ottawa, and ultimately having a soft spot for the local goalie?

I'll have to disagree with the score, I think Canada takes this one by 5+, I'm thinking 6-1.
