Canada 5-2 Czech Republic.

How long is Reinhart's suspension for?

 

[Anchor Town*]

Predicted points for:

Drouin -

Mantha -

McDavid -

 

[Canada4Gold]

Czechs played well in spurts against the US but they don't have the firepower to keep up with Canada and the US, and even Slovakia the way they played today will give them a tough match.

Canada 6-1

 

[Back in Black]

Can't wait!

 

[xxxx]

I expect some points from Drouin and also from McDavid

Not exactly a test, but a stronger team than Germany for sure. So I expect something like 10-0. But seriously, a win by 3 goals at least, IMO.

GO CANADA GO !

 

[Swipes]

Losing by less than 4 goals would be an achievement.

Canada 5-2 Czech Republic.

How long is Reinhart's suspension for?

3 games

 

[Royal Canuck]

3 games

2 games remaining.

Go Canada Go!

 

[Lynnx*]

Let's go Czech! Make this game interesting

 

[that is unfortunate]

Dolejs pulls a Mrazek and we win 4-2.

 

[Swipes]

Dolejs pulls a Mrazek and we win 4-2.

Unlikely, Langhamer is getting the nod for this one.

 

[czechcanadian]

Unlikely, Langhamer is getting the nod for this one.

Good.. He sucks. Too small.

 

[Alerion]

Those lines from the last game are hilarious...our top 6 is our bottom 6 in those. Look for Mantha to continue to light it up via Drouin, Horvat/Reinhart will probably pot a couple too.

6-2 Canada, Paterson looks shaky early but then settles down.

 

[JCF]

McDavid's gonna start finishing his chances with 2 goals and an assist.

Canada 6-3

 

[luongo321]

Boho mcdavid show coming up.

 

[Eidyia]

CAN 3 - CZE 5

 

[Hemsky001]

No surprise here at all. Our loss by 3-4 goals.

 

[Loffer]

This will turn ugly rather sooner than later. My bet: ten minutes into the game and the floodgates will kick wide open.

 

[bigdirty]

I think Canada is going to jump out to an early lead. Sutter has probably given them hell for giving up the first goal in the last couple games.

I just hope for the sake of a good game that the Czech defense plays hard all game. A guy like Drouin can do some terrible things to defensemen when they aren't giving full effort. And when he's got Mantha to pass to, well it could get ugly.

 

[VerySuperFamous]

9-5 Canada

 

[Canucks LB]

7-2 canada
Horvat with 6 goals, mcjesus with 1.

 

[Aaaaaaaaaaaaa]

6-2 Canada. McD with a pair and an assist.

 

[Nash]

I don't know why they keep listing Petan's line as #1. The number 1 line is Drouin/Mantha and number 2 is Horvat/McJesus/Reinhart. Petan is the third line. Fix the OP.

Canada is going to smoke the Czechs. The only dangerous team in this pool besides the US is the Slovaks. They have a very cohesive team. I expect them to come third.

 

[Shrimper]

Hope to see another good game by Pouliot.
