Go Canada!

 

[FinRuutu]

Could be a interesting match and good to see Tatar in the line up.

 

[Bgav]

Why is Schenn on the team?

Thank god for the pvr!

 

[Mestaruus]

Didn't know we get this interesting match in the first days already. Interesting to see how much crowd there will be. Does anyone know how much the tickets cost for this one?

 

[kes81sel]

Why is Schenn on the team?

Thank god for the pvr!

my thoughts exectly Schenn has done nothing to deserve to go

 

[RandallRitchey]

Patrick Sharp is wearing number 81 in this tournament, not 10.
His birth year and wearing it for Hossa.

 

[Canucks LB]

I am so going to wake up for this lol

 

[mchose]

Hey all, I cancelled my sports package (TSN, SN, NHLnet) before the playoffs because all of the Canucks games would have been on CBC. Since I don't feel like re-activating it is there going to be a stream on TSN.ca? I also have NBC on my TV. Who's covering these games!?

 

[Draiskull]

boo @ Dubnyk not starting...

 

[mchose]

LOL, all just found out full games are being uploaded to YT and the commentary sucks soooooo bad

http://youtu.be/m12d8J1ZWXw

http://youtu.be/m12d8J1ZWXw

I've never laughed before this when listening to commentary. Well, this shouldn't even be called commentary.

but is still better than nothing

 

[Mestaruus]

Youtu.be = Youtube.com? I've always thought it's some fake site, but it's officially owned by Youtube?

 

[kes81sel]

I am so going to wake up for this lol

can you say coffee lol

 

[Hurt]

Well I'm going to be up for work so might as well have the game on

 

[Mestaruus]

Pretty unfair time for Canadian spectators. Does anyone know how long has Canada's team bean in Finland? Maybe they are jetlagged for this game and will perform poorly?

 

[LiquidSnake]

Burrows with the Kids should be an interesting line. I agree with someone that stated Kane could be better but only if Kane were about 3-4 years older. His defensive game isn't where it's at. I think that's the reason we see Burr there in addition to his grinding play.

 

[Drij]

that's last years game.

 

[chopkins]

Not a single non-Canadian on the roster. Cherry would love this team.

I think that line has some potential, Burrows could be a great fit. To be honest, all 4 fwd lines look good to me on paper.

 

[Johnny McBravo]

Murray>Schenn.

He should be playing

 

[Tyler Durden]

Is Murray on the official roster?

Team Canada has been in Switzerland for about 1 week and i think flew in to Helsinki Wednesday (since the travel distance is about 1773 KM (2.5 hours flight) i doubt there is any jet lag anymore) I think only Getzlaf flew from NA this past week to Helsinki....

 

[MyNameIsNobody*]

Is Murray on the official roster?

Does anyone know if Subbans spot can be taken by someone else? or is that it?

Classy move.

Reports on HNIC today were that Hossa is not doing well so far.
