[John Price]

Today is the big day

Can't wait

Go Canada

 

[Macman]

4-2 Canada. Russia will hurt themselves with several retaliatory penalties.

 

[oXo Cube]

The most exciting tournament in hockey back on!

Go Canada!

 

[Jesus Christ Horburn]

I think both goalies will get lit up.

6-4 Canada.

 

[DamonDRW]

5-4 Russia in spite of numerious Canada's PPs.

 

[Gruntfuttock]

Anyone have an idea of Team Russia's lines?

 

[The Saw Is the Law]

Anyone have an idea of Team Russia's lines?

I guess they use their training lines

Kitsyn - Sobchenko - Tarasenko
Valuisky - Kuznetsov - Kalinin
Panarin - Golubev - Burdasov
Dvurechensky - Voronin - Bocharov

Orlov - Urychev
Zaytsev - Berezin
Ignatovich - Sergeev
Berdyukov - Pivtsakin

 

[Eye of Ra]

this game gonna be gritty as hell.

 

[Seachd]

According to RDS, Roy will be the starting goalie for Canada.

 

[Davebo*]

5-4 Russia in spite of numerious Canada's PPs.

4-1 Canada in spite of numerous Russian......... etc etc etc....

 

[Ranger Angst]

Does anyone know why the ref has the nickname , "High Jumper." Basketball background ??

 

[John Price]

According to RDS, Roy will be the starting goalie for Canada.

That's good news. I thought he had the edge over the other guy Visnietsen

Hopefully he does well

5-2 Canada

 

[pouskin74*]

i hope that russians are going to win, no prediction though.

 

[Shrimper]

Will tune in for this as it's on at 9:00PM here, looking forward to seeing Despres on the third D line. Why are people predicting high scoring games, are they generally like this?

 

[AwesomePanthers]

Glad this game is on, since they don't show the Norway game.

Canada 5-2 over Russia.

 

[Nedved]

Merry Christmas everyone! Now it's time to sit back and enjoy the rest of the holiday season with some Junior Hockey.

Go Canada GO!!

 

[Shrimper]

What are the predicted viewing figures for this game? I read somewhere that last time round the World Junior Championship got 13million for the Canada games, just from the Canadian audiences? Is that right?

That seems a bit high given our total population base of about 30 mil. I would imagine last year's gold medal and NYE games had very high viewerships though. Today's game will also have high ratings.

 

[canuck2010]

Let's just keep rolling 4 lines boys and take the game to them. Play Canadian hockey don't sit back and let them bring the game to us.

 

[AwesomePanthers]

Canadas forward lines according to Bob McKenzie:

Team CAN F lines: Schwartz-Schenn-Leblanc; Foligno-Johansen-Kassian; Howden-Couturier-Hamilton; Eakin-Cizikas-Ashton; Connolly in, 13th F.

 

[Gruntfuttock]

I guess they use their training lines

Kitsyn - Sobchenko - Tarasenko
Valuisky - Kuznetsov - Kalinin
Panarin - Golubev - Burdasov
Dvurechensky - Voronin - Bocharov

Orlov - Urychev
Zaytsev - Berezin
Ignatovich - Sergeev
Berdyukov - Pivtsakin

I guess they didn't stick with Tarasenko and Kuznetsov being in the same line after all. Oh well, it's still a killer first line.

Does anyone know why the ref has the nickname , "High Jumper." Basketball background ??

Patrick Sjöberg used to be the world record holder in track and field high jumping. I believe he still has the highest jump of those, who never tested positive for doping. But I doubt it's the same Sjöberg.

 

[Gruntfuttock]

Canadas forward lines according to Bob McKenzie:

Team CAN F lines: Schwartz-Schenn-Leblanc; Foligno-Johansen-Kassian; Howden-Couturier-Hamilton; Eakin-Cizikas-Ashton; Connolly in, 13th F.

I thought so. It would've been a pitty, if Hamilton would've been the 13th forward like the original post says. He played so well against Finland. I can't understand why Eakin is on the 4th line though.
