Final tune up before the finals. I expect we'll see the Point-McDavid-Lazar line put up a bunch more points and lead the way.

7-1 Canada.

 

[slovakiasnextone]

Just make this worth getting up at 2 a.m., is all I am asking for.

 

[11Ottawa Senators11]

Ottawa should try to get Mcdavid, great chemistry with Lazar

 

[Den]

3:2 Slovakia

 

[Aceonfire*]

Ottawa should try to get Mcdavid, great chemistry with Lazar

It would cost them Karlsson..

 

[cyris]

It would cost them Karlsson..

It would cost them winning the lottery and drafting first...

No one is trading the first overall this year, not even for Karlsson +.

[habdynasty]

Time to smash the Slovaks . Break them.

 

[Steveorama]

6-1 Canada.
Slovakia will be stubborn in the 1st, but won't be able to keep up the pace and Canada will win going away in the 3rd.

 

[Stats01]

Canada's pace is too fast for Slovakia, I say by mid 2nd period Canada will start dominating. Of course Slovakia will come out flying with nothing to lose but after a while Canada will be too much for them. Too fast, too skilled, too good. The best junior team assembled since 2005 IMO. The depth is overwhelming. Having guys like Petan and Virtanen on your 3rd line says a lot about the talent put together.

 

[MikeModano9]

4-0 Canada.

 

[ebis]

Mark my words: If Slovakia manages to score the first one, it will end up 2-1 Slovakia. If Canada scores the first one, it will be a blowout, naturally.

 

[Super Cake]

13-2 Canada

3x Lazar
3x Duclair
3x Domi
3x Reinhart
1x Paul

 

[ndd17]

I express their sympathy team Slovakia in this match, although this is unlikely to help them.

 

[BlitzSnipe]

5-1 Canada.

 

[Killahpunk]

I will predict a 6-1 Canada win.

 

[Incognito]

Can't see a way for Slovakia to win today. Canada just has too much depth, talent and firepower.

 

[c9gunner]

It's a no-brainer. Canada with an easy win.

 

[Teeder9]

5-0 Canada

 

[xxxx]

Slovakia might lead 3-0 after first and still lose the game. That's my opinion.

 

[habsterr]

5-1 Canada

 

[hockey4sale]

another 8-0 win for Canada, Slovaks are a pee-wee team, they should get a medal for just getting this far

 

[Hybbe]

4-2 Canada.

I think Slovakia has the potential to scare Canada based on what I saw in their QF against the czechs.

 

[Snippit]

7-0 Canada
