Go Canada!

 

[Antonglk]

3-2 Canada

 

[encore]

Based on what we've seen, hard to see us winning this game. The talent is there though, so I think we come out of our shell and win 5-2.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Quenneville 13th forward, Chartier 4th line? It's about time. I wouldn't hate giving Konecny a shot up in the lineup, but this lineup is about as good as you can ask. It only took 5 exhibitions and 5 real games to figure it out.

 

[Index]

About to go to sleep, but going pvr it.

4-3 Canada in OT.

 

[1Gold Standard]

Canada gets steamrolled in this one. just no compete in this team and without a game plan.

 

[BobDobolina]

Finland will get destroyed.

EH OH CANADA GO!

 

[w e l o s t b o y s]

still think canada should win this one

should be a big test for the defence

Canada gets steamrolled in this one. just no compete in this team and without a game plan.

Definitely not as dominant as they once were. But can't write them off just yet.

 

[agent082]

Easy win for Canada or Finland.

How is it a good lineup? Lowry using Strome line head to head with Finland's top line. That line is going to get dominated despite two 19 year olds.

Konecny should be on Strome's line. This is no time for sentiments, just because you are 19 years old doesn't mean you get to play top 6.

 

[Canuckistani]

Canada will need to play with the heart of Denmark to have a chance.

5-2 Finland

 

[joey16]

Expect one hell of a game..
I'm okay with any team advancing so I'm just going to grab my popcorn and watch hopefully a great game
My guess - 6:4 Canada

 

[JJTT]

8-7 Finland. Laine with 4 goals.

 

[llwyd]

Well, if our defence is as disorganized and error prone as it has been during the round robin even this year's Canada will not have big difficulties in demolishing it however brilliant our attack is. It is in their hockey DNA to utilize such gaps and missed markings almost automatically.

 

[vaiski]

It's anyone's game to me. Both teams have been inconsistent. The team that has the tighter D today should take it.

 

[snipes]

Canada must play a physical game to win this. The atmosphere will be rocking I'm pumped

 

[LeftBackLegend]

Here's to hoping for a close, well-fought match. Very hard to predict this one.

 

[JS91]

For some reason I've got a feeling that this game won't be a tight one. It'll go heavily in favor of one or the other team. No idea which one, though. Canada has been real bad pretty much throughout the tournament but they still have a really talented roster. Finland's D has been garbo which is why I could see Canada's offense waking up and scoring 5+ goals on us. Our first line has been carrying us all tournament which is why if they go cold it's over for us. That said if they keep rolling we might as well take this one.

 

[BB88]

I'm so damm nervous about this one

Our defense and goaltending has been so bad and Canada has the forward talent to score, we gave up 6 against Russia, 4 against Cze and 3 against Slovakia, oi vei.

Need to score atleast 4 tonight.

 

[behemolari]

Easy win for Canada. Unlike Finland, they least have a whole team.

Canada 7-2 Overhyped diarrhea

I'm so damm nervous about this one

You think we have a defense.. oh well

 

[SanDogBrewin]

5-4 Finland.

 

[JoeyBeans]

Not feeling it.

5-3 Finland

 

[tade]

Konecny with Chartier and Stephens on 4th line? Good job Lowry.
