[Babula]

first.

I think starting goalie is Kovar.

and Gudas is out for this match due to fever

 

[saintflannel]

Hopefully this is the game shown on SN1. Should be a good one. I predict Sweden with a 4-2 win.

 

[Pentothal]

Can't wait! Great game to start the tournament, the Czechs will be difficult to beat though.

 

[Martian]

Unfortunatelly Gudas will not play in this game. He has fever. And Pavelec won't be starter for sure.

 

[Frank the Tank]

Something about having a GDT open makes this Olympic hockey tournament seem more real.

It would be an interesting start if the Czechs surprise.

 

[Systemfel]

Czech lineup updated.

 

[Romang67]

Should be an interesting game. Czech team look strong offensively, but pretty weak defensively.

 

[Frederick Stanley]

Finally some hockey.

 

[frostyflo]

here we go!! first game I'll watch and I can't wait!
root for Steener&Co, he's my pick for MVP of the tourney.

and it's Systemfell time once again too, thanks for all the good work you put in here!

 

[Slimmy]

This is going to be awesome. A few legends on the rosters playing their last olympic tourney. Feels fitting, in a way, that it's held in Russia.
Can't wait.

 

[Lapa]

This is going to be a good one. Rooting for the Czech Republic, but I think Sweden will be a bit too much here.

I'll say 4-2 Sweden.

 

[Babula]

can't wait to see Palat first time in national jersey and Gudas as well later on tournament. drop the puck !!!

 

[m4tt145]

Ive been waiting for this for months. I hope it's a close game.

 

[Rexor]

Given it's first day of the tournament, it will be interesting to see if Czechs will gain any advantage of a one third of their squad being from Europe, thus needing no time to adjust to big ice and to overcome jet-lag.

Czech lineup updated.

Salák and Kovář are selected goalies (it's likely Kovář will be starting but nothing official yet). Pavelec is a healthy scratch.

 

[Pilky01]

Hopefully this is the game shown on SN1. Should be a good one. I predict Sweden with a 4-2 win.

Why would you want it on SN1? This game needs to be on regular SN, or TSN. It is outrageous that the first meaningful hockey game in this tournament gets relegated to a specialty channel, while CBC, SN and TSN are showing preliminary figure skating or cross country skiing.

 

[Hedning]

Finally... The wait is soon over. Will be a hard test, hope to see some lines starting to click. And that Bäckis, Sedin, Eriksson will lift their game during the tourney, from their so far somewhat disappointing NHL-season.

Can't wait...

[SnowblindNYR]

Is Lundqvist in net?

 

[Panthers607]

Anyone know if this will be live on NBC?

 

[Woodhouse]

Anyone know if this will be live on NBC?

CZE-SWE is on USA, while LTV-SUI is on MSNBC.

 

[Panthers607]

CZE-SWE is on USA, while LTV-SUI is on MSNBC.

USA? What channel is that I have direct tv btw

 

[gphr513]

Česká!

Pulling for my "heritage team" tomorrow. Beat the Swedes!

 

[gphr513]

USA? What channel is that I have direct tv btw

242 on dtv

 

[Hedning]

Is Lundqvist in net?

Most likely, have a hard time seeing anything else. He needs to get in gear, and learn his teammates and the bigger rink as soon as possible.
