I predict CANADA will win

You may not have seen that it’s not Britain, but GREAT Britain.

 

[Namejs]

If you would place a million dollar bet on Canada winning in regular time, you would get exactly 1,000,000.00 back if they did win.

As a Brit, must confess I’m not overly optimistic. If Bedard and co show up in the mood to lay down a marker for the rest of the tournament then it could get rather ugly.

British Superstar NCAA second liner Cade Neilson to the rescue!

Dropping a dollar on Great Britain come on Brits make me a millionaire

Last time we played them we lost 0-8, and if we keep it to that again I'd say we haven't embarrassed ourselves l0l.

They just need to tap into the legend of Tony Hand.

2 hours until the opening face of. Tavares is very slow to get up from his bed, trying to figure out which team they are playing today. Bedard trying to recall the name of the bar they spent the last night in. Still they are heading for a smooth win of course.

 

[Primo Victoria]

Bedard on the 4th line?

 

[BigBadBoar]

Bedard on the 4th line?

It is a Canada - Great Britain game. Just a warm-up for Canada. They even gave their no.1 goalie, Binnington, a day off, the same with Tavares. Today's lines are saying nothing about the team Canada's further plans. They know this is going to be an easy walk for them, given the quality difference between the teams.

Tapping themselves with their Hand? This is a PG board.

 

[Summer Rose]

Who else is up bright and early for this game?

 

[JackSlater]

It's finally time for Canada to take on its eternal rival Great Britain, and exact a measure of revenge for that Olympic medal a hundred or so years ago. Never forget. Never let up.

I predict a tight win for Canada. Bedard scores the winner in overtime.

Who else is up bright and early for this game?

All of Canada is up to see what the British can throw our way. Revenge is on our collective mind.

 

[Chainshot]

Who else is up bright and early for this game?

I'm up, against my better judgement.

 

[Summer Rose]

I'm up, against my better judgement.

So am I. I slept from about 8:30 p.m. to midnight last night, then 3:30 a.m. until about fifteen minutes ago.

 

[JackSlater]

From TSN's pre-game ramble Tavares is playing and Hofer is starting today. Surprised about Hofer for the first game.

How is it a surprise? Binner will play tomorrow obviously.

 

[JackSlater]

How is it a surprise? Binner will play tomorrow obviously.

Because he's the starter and generally the starter plays the first game. It's not like Canada is playing Sweden tomorrow or something.

 

[Chainshot]

So am I. I slept from about 8:30 p.m. to midnight last night, then 3:30 a.m. until about fifteen minutes ago.

I woke up at 4:30, anxious about today's move. My helpers get here at 9:00, second wave of helpers around noon. Being up at that hour, I was able to squeeze the truck into the space right in front of my apartment. There is so much to do and I'm just going to sit down and have some coffee.

 

[Chainshot]

Do they get running time today?

Whoops on Tavares. Parayko is wearing the C for now.
