[vippe]

So who is Nino going to make a mess of this time? :>

Canada-Switzerland are often good games, hopefull this time aswell:>

 

[struckbyaparkedcar]

I am beyond exited to see Kassian and Foligno. Marcus especially because I got to catch a little of BZK during preseason.

 

[torero]

SUI 4 : 2 CAN last is an empty netter by Inti Pestoni .... degree of convicion : 100%

Bartschi with 1 goal and 1 assist, Niederreiter and Scherwey with 1 assist.

 

[sickest flow bro]

Canada wins 7-1; 3 point night by Couturier and 2 goals by schwartz. Kassian with a booming hit on Nino.

 

[swissexpert]

Canada wins 8-2; 3 point night by Leblanc and 2 goals from Connolly. Nino with a booming hit on Kassian.

haha nice!

In all seriousness I expect a low scoring game, teams will play pretty conservatively and make some errors, but its expected in each teams opening contest. I predict 4-1 for canada.

 

[jfb392]

I hope someone streams this.

Go Canada!

 

[Hurt]

It'll be pretty close. Switzerland always seems to put up a decent match in international games. Canada 4-2.

 

[Jesus Christ Horburn]

Games against Switzerland are rarely blowouts.

The Swiss usually play a tight-checking physical game like Canada and the US do.

I'll predict 3-1 Canada.

 

[BobDobolina]

I don't remember too many goals being made in there exhibition games so something like 4-0 or 5-1 will be close I think. Hopefully this will be streamed as there's nothing real interesting going on in the NHL at the same time.

 

[Nordic*]

I hope Canada win with ease, so that they go in to the tournament underrating everyone

 

[danishh]

Roy starting, anyone?

i'm not expecting a high-scoring game, as it is switzerland. Hopefully canada plays a solid defensive game and gets a shutout.

 

[TheGroceryStick]

im an idiot. shoulda got ticks. i thought i was working tonight.

GO Canada GO.

I may try tio get a seat at the restaurant. anyone know if they are sold out aswell?

 

[NYI Win]

Go Switzerland.

 

[joe89]

Visentin starts in goal tonight; Roy tomorow vs. Sweden. D pairs tonight: Olsen-Ellis; Cowen-de Haan; Depres-Gudbranson; Barrie

Team CAN lines tonight vs. SUI: Schwartz-Schenn-Leblanc; Kassian-Couturier-Foligno; Eakin-Johnsson-Connolly; Howden-Cizikas-Ashton-Hamilton

Looks like there will be streams so looking forward to watch. That second line looks dymanite.

 

[umwoz]

Wow Foligno-Couturier-Kassian

Avg Weight - 202lbs
Avg Height - 6'3


That size rivals NHL lines.

 

[S E P H]

Is this game going to be on NHL Network?

 

[Kenobody]

From all I've read about Dave Cameron's coaching style I don't see either team scoring more than 3 goals.

2-1 or 3-2 Canada.

 

[CarlWinslow]

TSN might stream it unless they are only streaming the actual tournament games. Either way, watch it on TSN2.

 

[HamiltonOHL]

Visentin start tonight; Roy starts tomorrow night vs. SWE.

McKenzie's twitter

 

[Dursac]

7-6 Sui

 

[samsquanch9*]

Wow im like 10 minutes from the GM Centre but i cant get tickets.

 

[KristoLeblanc*]

TSN.... 2? Is that a joke.

Who the hell have TSN2 at home in Quebec ? I don't even know if its available.

Hope there is a streaming of the game somewhere.

 

[princegeorgehockey]
