Well, at least I have one team to cheer for that will likely have winning record. Gold medal match is usually on my Birthday also.

 

[DylanSensFan]

If Canada skates like this for the entire tournament, I like their chances.

 

[Korpse]

Formenton has looked really good.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Formenton has looked really good.

He does. The kid is unbelievably fast. And he seems to be getting better at handling the puck and making plays at speed, too.

 

[DJB]

Anyone know how Brown is doing?

 

[MaxTheLimit]

Apparently Team USA is dominating in a blowout, but I haven't been able to find much in the way of highlights or stats...

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Nice work by Batherson on that one.

Edit: and a sweet snipe a few minutes later.

Anyone know how Brown is doing?

They played Belarus and won 14-0. Brown had at least an assist.

From that link the game highlights are in there. I counted Brown with 3 primary assists. 2 setups and one where Tkachuk buried a rebound

 

[Do Make Say Think]

3 assists on 14 goals?

Bust

 

[Back in Black]

USA played Belarus and won 14-0.

Can't wait till both Canada & USA play some real competition to see how good they really are.

The Outdoor Game between Canada & USA will be a doozy!

Will be flicking between the SENS/Blue Jackets & this one for sure.....

 

[Viletho]

3 assists on 14 goals?

Bust

I know right !! Like, he isn't dominant enough to play 60 min?? WTh is wrong with his cardio and willing to be the man? :p

CANADA vs Switzerland.

2nd & final pre-tournament game Friday Dec. 22 @ 7:00 pm on TSN

Nice to see that Brown, Batherson & Formenton all had a good first exhibition game. Hopefully, it keeps up & all three have a great tournament as well as Nurmi with Finland.

Canada will find out Boxing Day @ 4:00pm

Schedule

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

My guess is Raddysh will slide back in where Steenbergen is today and Steenbergen will be the odd man out.. Howden goes back between Comtois and Formenton

Too bad it's going to be outdoors in bad conditions. Hard to tell who the better team is when they are playing in snow covered ice.

Yeah definitely not a fan of this.

 

[DJB]

Its even for both teams fellas. Both teams have lots of skill and speed.

 

[Back in Black]

Less than 12 hours to go......

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Too bad it's going to be outdoors in bad conditions. Hard to tell who the better team is when they are playing in snow covered ice.

And the teams have no choice but to go 100% because all points are badly needed in a tournament like this. That opens the door big-time to a freak injury with outdoor ice.

 

[Back in Black]

It's gonna be -8 (in Buffalo) on the 29th. Much better weather than the game in Ottawa last week!

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

With Dillon Dube returning from a shoulder injury, Canada will be dressing 13 forwards in Friday's pre-tournament game against Switzerland. It appears as if Tyler Steenbergen, who has 35 goals in 27 games for Swift Current this season, will start as the odd man out. But head coach Dominique Ducharme insists the 13th-forward label doesn't really apply to anyone in the group.
