Why didnt Carlo Colaiacovo play in the first game?

 

[leafsfuture]

Looks like the dream for Scalzo will end tomorrow. Feel real good for the kid, and maybe it could lead to a potential NHL contract

 

[FlareKnight]

Well looking forward to another game. Keep a good run going here.

Hope not, would like to see him play for Biel next season.

It will be a tough game for Switzerland. But if they play as focused as against Belarus, who knows?

 

[FinHockey]

Go Suisse!

 

[TheNextOneX]

I fully expect Switzerland to destroy Canada.

 

[vippe]

Kinda crap I'm working when this game is on... those teams always battle it out.

I hear you... Same here

 

[WeberStreit]

Nice article about the game:
http://www.tsn.ca/canadian_hockey/story/?id=364395

But after I read it, I think we are jiinxd (sp?)... Too bad.

 

[tsunami]

Seems Genoni will play, not Stephan !

 

[observerspb*]

28 Carlo Colaiacovo - 7 Marco Scalzo - it is unrealistic

 

[swisdan]

Genoni confirmed in the net since Monday.

I won't be a homer like nextone. Can - Swi 3-1

But i expect to see a tremendous Genoni. It will be a nice dual vs Reimer.

 

[mrSlot]

I fully expect Switzerland to destroy Canada.

not this time!

I had the impression that if canada had a better goaltender last year at the WHC, they would have also won that game... at least two bad goals by mason if I remember correctly!

still I hope for a surprise, but it`s not important to win these group-stage games. win the important games - like the 1/4-final for once, please!

 

[MBTendy]

damn, Tobi is one of my favorite goalie since being drafted by Dallas. Was hoping he get the start on my birthday..

 

[Michael Scofield]

Lets go boys get a third

 

[holyprime]

3:2 Canada after OT.

2:1 Switzerland if we happen to score the first goal (yes against CAN im an optimist for once )

But most important, it should be a fun game to watch.

 

[TollefsenFan]

Come on swiss Ill be rooting for u! -> Canada! They always crush Norway grrrrr

 

[ExE]

I'm really looking forward to watch this game hope they will play their A-game against canada

 

[Hensta]

6-4 Canada.
