1g 1a so far in exhibition game against Austria

Great to see that Greig made the team.

Exciting for him and a great achievement. This could be another steppingstone for him to taking his game to the next level. To me, he is the type of player you lean on in the playoffs with his style of play and ability to be a difference maker, whether it be taking a hit to make a play, blocking a shot, a big hit, a big goal, a big penalty kill play, driving the other team crazy, etc. etc.

I see that Pinto, Tkachuk and Sanderson are on the US Team (and Kubalik on the Czech team).
Will certainly add more interest to watching this tourney to have that representation.

Little surprised that Batherson was not added to Team Canada.
Was he invited to the team and turned it down or just not invited?

Will be great to see how Riddler fits in on a young and skilled Canadian team.

Should be a good tournament for following Sens players! USA team is loaded with Brady, Pinto, and Sandy.

Any other players playing? I think Stu is still recovering from injury. Pickings get pretty slim as you go down the Sens lineup.

Batherson is part of the 2018 WJC team. Hockey Canada has suspended all the players until the matter is closed.

They will of course reverse position on this if it seems Makar's spot on the Olympic team is in jeopardy

Now that charges have been laid, you would think they might narrow the suspensions down. Sucks for Bath. If they are going to do that before the olympics, they should do it now.

That Canada squad really is young. If they bring home any hardware, that'll be impressive

 

[maclean]

Going to be at the game today cheering for the Riddler and Big Dick Nick. I think I'm somewhere in the nosebleeds so don't bother looking for the camo Sens cap

NO Grieg today for Canada

NO Grieg today for Canada

US and Czech did not play today.

Remember Kaspars Daugavins, he is the Captain of Latvia, they have won both their opening 2 games both in OT and Daugevins has scored both winners, he is currently tied for the lead in scoring with 5 points 3g 2a tied with some guy called Bedard
Also another ex Sen was playing in the same game and scored for France Stephane De Costa.

The suspension is under appeal, players won’t be available until after appeal is heard and decided on.

"Hockey Canada penalizing him for the empty net clapper"

Leafs fans, probably.

Injured or just scratched?

I feel so ripped off. Bedard didn't even complete his hattrick Did get a close-up of Nick Paul on the cube though

Love Daugavins, he always had that Daug in him

I always liked K-Dawg (as coined by me at the time on HFSens but stolen by Don Brennan for an article that bastard lol) and thought he could've stayed put, not sure why Bryan Murray didn't re-sign him cheap at the time. Him barking on the bench after scoring - good ol' times!

So Grieg is just a healthy scratch with all of the additions Canada recently made? It's a long tournament, and he will probably get back in there before long, especially given how versatile he is - he can play up or down the lineup, centre or wing...

Undefeated

 

[mianjo]

Ottawa Sens led USA not doing well, down 4-1 to Slovakia after 2 periods.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Going to OT

Luke Hughes just went coast to coast and tied it 4-4... a little helper from Sanderson


Tkachuk with a highlight reel goal .. makes it 4-3 with about 6 minutes left,


Pinto made it 4-2 earlier in the 3rd

 

[ottawarenegader613]

Sens players seem to be making an impact for team USA against Slovakia

 

[ottawarenegader613]

Team USA Sens lost to Slovakia in 5-4 in OT. Brady Tkachuk in the post game interview sounds like he wants to have a fight even though there is no fighting allowed in the IIHF..

Pinto 1g 1a
Sanderson 1a
Tkachuk 1g
