[Muuri]

Eh Oh Russia Go

 

[HeyOldMan]

It's the most wonderful time of the year!

 

[Forgot About Drai]

Sweet, Roy in net and Hamilton gets moved up! Going to be a sick game

It's the most wonderful time of the year!

No kidding - can't wait here! Group B is going to be so tight, all apologies to Sweden but today's CAN-RUS game just might be the battle to decide #1. (and the team that doesn't have to worry about USA until the finals!)

 

[DEVILS ALL THE WAY*]

C'mon boyz... let's ****'em up !!!!! Roll 4 lines, be aggresive on the forecheck and finish your hits.

AKA Canadian hockey

Old news but why was RNH cut?

Well, the coaching staff clearly liked size, and RNH doesn't have that. So it was more the size over skill.

Does anyone know if Canada will go with the same lines they used against Finland? Swapping C's Sean Couturier & Ryan Johansen seemed to work.

 

[WeThreeKings]

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.

Maybe cause Eakin's been one of the worst forwards for Canada in the pre-tournament.

Post #22.

Anyway:

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

Russia 7, Canada 6.

Americans applaud every time Canadians touch the puck, in marked contrast to expected no-class boo-fest majority of Canadians will display every time an American plays the puck in a Team USA game.

Tarasenko figures in on every Russian goal, Schwartz on every Canadian goal.

What you really beleave the americans are going to clap everytime canada touches the puck if so your likely going to be in for a shock.As booing is classless that maybe to a degree but fans of all teams do it for the most part don't act like its just canadians that do it lots of fans do it.

Don't forget, Buffalo is on the Canadian boarder. This game might as well be played on Canadian soil, because it is going to be an overwhelmingly Canadian crowd. That and the native Buffalo fans will be heavily cheering for Kassian and Foligno. Both are Sabre draft picks, and Foligno's father is a former Sabres captain who was very popular with the fans.

4-2 Canada.

Howden pots two.

 

[Chadstudsky]

James Duthie just correctly pronounced Roy

Props to TSN.

 

[sag2k3]

So ****ing loaded. The best game in the tournament!

 

[VelvetJones]

Is this game even on tv in Russia?

Exactly - 4/5 of the arena today are Canadian fans so it might as well be a home game!

I don't think so.

 

[bleedgreen]

anyone watching a stream from the us? i cant get any of them to work.

 

[DamonDRW]

Is this game even on tv in Russia?

no. We're forced to watch random internet feeds.

 

[nobuddy]

GO RUSSIA! but, 4-3 Canada.

 

[Hopelesslucicfan]

no. We're forced to watch random internet feeds.

How does this make sense?

Why wouldn't they televise your game?

 

[Urgi]

How does this make sense?

Why wouldn't they televise your game?

Because no one knows about this tournament outside Canada lol

 

[BobDobolina]

How does this make sense?

Why wouldn't they televise your game?

Because not many people care to watch it.
