How come Nick Foligno played for USA but Marcus is playing for Canada? How does that work? They are brothers right?

 

[sickest flow bro]

I'll be there! I hope its a good game and Sweden can adjust to life without their equipment! I also hope no waffles are thrown, as Canada CAN win games.

Prediction: Canada 4 Sweden 2

 

[sickest flow bro]

Father played in Buffalo (Sabres) when they were born. I assume they have dual citizenship and have the right to choose ala (Pominville, Kozun, Myers, Couturier). Nick was with the NTDP and stuck with USA hockey. Marcus felt Canada was the better way to go.

Nick was born in Buffalo when his dad played for the Buffalo Sabres. Marcus was born when Mike(Father) was playing for Toronto and living in Canada. Thus giving one dual citizenship with the option to play for either countries and the other the gift of playing solely for Canada.

 

[joe89]

Not overly optimistic with this being first game on small ice for the players in a while(except Landeskog). Lehner will have to stand on his head in the first period.

[Dipsy Doodle]

Excited to see Jarnkrok, Landeskog, and Lander for the first time, and how Despres fares against a top team.

I don't know, a bunch of sites including the sabres official site have him born in buffalo. I think it's just a matter of him choosing canada.

This is probably correct. Watched the Canada/Swiss game on TSN2 last night and several times the announcers mentioned that he has the option to play for either country.

Do you think it will be possible to watch the game on SVT website tomorrow recorded on there somewhere or would that be too much to ask? Tack!

SVT are streaming the game live at their website but I don't know if it will available from outside of Sweden.

 

[slovakiasnextone]

I remember last year when they streamed the actual tournament games I was able to watch without any trouble, so I´m hoping it would be the same for this one as well.

 

[JetLi]

It doesnt work outside Sweden....for example i once tried it in spain and it didnt work, but who knows maybe it will work for you

Are you sure that wasn't during the Olympics and not the WJCs (or some friendly game)?

 

[AwesomePanthers]

I think I saw the Canada - Sweden game last year on SVT play, but Norway is very close so I don't know if there is some kind of range or something.

 

[DEVILS ALL THE WAY*]

Can't wait to see Adam Larsson in action. Judging by what I hear, he would look ****ing sexy in a Devils uniform next year !!! No more grenade handling defensive d-men ala Colin White and in with a smooth skating PMD that can log solid minutes.

Lou is stock pilling the Swedes in the past couple of drafts (Tedenby, Josefson, Urbom and possibly Larsson).

Tank 4 Larsson

 

[smitty10]

Can't wait to see how Larsson and Landeskog look against Canada. This game should be much closer than the blowout against Switzerland last night so I'm very excited. I think think Canada is the team to beat in this tournament.

 

[Torts]

i will be there

i figure canada will keep up the intense pace they showed last night and run 4 strong lines all over a swede lineup that lacks depth of past teams

go canada!

 

[Jesus Christ Horburn]

Marcus learned from Nick's mistakes

 

[BobDobolina]

7-1 Canada.

Do the Swedes have their equipment yet?

 

[Harks]

Are the Swe-lineup set in stone?
Lindberg really struck out... got the rubbish wings. Why not play him with Klingberg like in camp?

 

[Hale The Villain]

This Swedish team doesn't look nearly as good as previous years. This one is up to Lehner.

 

[Ward Cornell]

7-1 Canada.

Do the Swedes have their equipment yet?

Is your prediction with the Swedes playing with equipment or sans?
If no equipment then WOW they have quite the team!!

 

[Kboum]

This is the lines I'd like to see for Canada :


8 Jaden Schwartz - 7 Sean Couturier - 20 Louis Leblanc
17 Marcus Foligno - 10 Brayden Schenn (A) - 9 Zack Kassian
21 Cody Eakin - 19 Ryan Johansen - 28 Brett Connolly
12 Quinton Howden - 11 Casey Cizikas - 25 Carter Ashton
-
Extra Forward:
16 Curtis Hamilton

Big gritty line.. Schenn had problems controlling the puck yesterday so he could go back to the basics.. and hit everyone
