It doesn't get any better than Canada vs Usa, there are no other hockey games i'd rather watch. Too bad i'll be in school tommorow.

 

[SuperSaiyanBeastmode]

finally! a team with more than 1 nhler so we can truly be tested.. I'd say this will be a 3-5 Canada.. unless our defense decides not to show up, then it'll be 5-6 going either way.

 

[silverfish]

Anyone know if this is on TV in the US? My guide says good ole hunting is on 10am tomorrow on Versus

 

[ecemleafs]

lol canada's lineup is so loaded compared to ours.

normally I would agree with this, but when both nations don't ice their best teams it's tough to get excited. Olympics and World Jrs were a heart breaker, I could care less if the US wins or loses tomorrow. As a matter of fact I'll probably pull for Canada in this because Grags is on the squad.

 

[magic school bus]

lol canada's lineup is so loaded compared to ours.

i know, but i'm feeling lucky..

USA wins 4-3 (OT).

 

[McOvechking]

USA has a very strong defensive core, but their offense might be a problem. Canada will have to be on their A game no matter what.

 

[KaylaJ]

Should be on, but that's what it says. Don't think my guide ever showed the Canada game from the other day, but pretty sure it was on.

 

[ItsTheBGB]

Looking at the rosters makes me think USA should get pumped.

 

[backcheck42]

I said after the loss against Sweden, this was going to be an ugly game. I still feel that way. If the US can somehow manage to find a way to grab a point from this game, I'll be happy.

 

[BobDobolina]

7-2 for Canada.

 

[vezna*]

4-0 canada

schenn needs to show up. he's been disappointing so far

 

[ElRossoMatt]

Anyone from Kosice here? I'll be at the game and was curious If I can get to the players when they come to the rink for this one. Also, if I'm in the wrong thread let me know guys,thanks

 

[observerspb*]

Canada can not play the U.S.. Because this is Canada. A fierce fire, it will be held on protective fort Stars and Stripes. And win a deserved victory.

 

[BigT2002]

Not going to lie...if Canada doesn't win this by 4 I'd be shocked...

 

[Juzmo]

You have a stacked Canada team.

But then you have Tim Stapleton on the USA team.

This is going to be tight.

 

[Charlie Milles*]

I'll be DVR'ing it. No reason for Canada to lose. They're absolutely stacked.

 

[Backlund]

The US forwards just look.... sad compared to ours. If we don't win by 4 I will be disappointed.

 

[BigT2002]

glad you agree but its okay, Dreamy Parise is the analyst on VS

 

[QnebO]

Finland - Cze game was awesome, fast and physichal. I wait this game to be the same, and maybe even more awesome.

 

[cenas*]

Olympics and World Jrs were a heart breaker

Olympics, okay, but WJC isn't best on best.

 

[TonsofPuppies*]

I've not been impressed with Canada thus far. USA could easily get a win today. Especially if Captain Canada continues to be a no-show.

 

[therealdeal]

Ugh, I have to work! Must avoid the score at all costs until I get home and can watch the PVR!
