[ORRFForever]

One of these days, someone is going to have to explain to me why TSN needs 5 channels.

Celebrity Cornhole, for the win!

???

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

I won't argue with you, stark but, in a Best Of 7, do you really believe the U.S. wins?

Canadians were FAR deeper. In a longer series they win.

You're probably right. We'll never know. I'll state the blindingly obvious reminder that the objective is to win the Gold Medal game.

Anyway, water under the bridge. Good luck to TC in this tourney.

That was legit one of the recent programs on TSN Cinque.

TSN 5's programming during yesterday's TC-Sweden exhibition game. Surely now you see why they need 5 channels.

Fair enough, Stark. Thanks.

[Alberta tough]

That is surprising.

 

[JackSlater]

That's surprising given the way things left off in December, Garand having a strong season, and then last night. Hopefully Cossa looks good tomorrow.

Masters posted today's lines. Same except Ostapchuk and Othmann changed places.

 

[jj cale]

Cameron already making us wonder if he knows what he is doing.

 

[ORRFForever]

Yikes! Where did that decision come from?

 

[Mooche]

Only way I can see this making any sort of sense is that Cameron is trying to build up Cossa's confidence against a lesser opponent in case he is forced to go back to him later on in the tournament. We all know how these these tourneys can go between the pipes...

Still makes little sense to me. But, I guess more than likely we will get to see Garand on Thursday against Slovakia.

Othmann omission is also a bit startling to me.

We shall see.

 

[SOLR]

Why is anybody surprised that we are using our 2nd goaltender against a team that has not won since 2012????

Garand is our guy, it's Latvia lol

Usually the #1 goalie plays game 1 - that's why we're surprised.

This is correct

I get it, but it's Latvia. Garand needs to play against Slovakia, Czechia and Finland, and then probably all the way to the final. We don't make the schedule.

If Cossa plays well against Latvia he will likely play the 3rd game. Hockey Canada does make the schedule.

They don't make the schedule in a way that simplifies the team's goaltending decision. What a dumb argument.

I also wouldnt be surprised if they want to see what Cossa can do with an actual warm up. I've read he looked solid last night and hes coming off a really good mem cup. He hasnt got a chance to play with a warm up yet with this team/staff so it would make sense for Cameron to give him a real look.

Yeah, fair enough.

Hopefully he gets called to action a few times tonight and gets his feet wet. Certainly doesn't hurt having two options in a short tournament who have their confidence to step in and play well for you in a given game.

Regardless, barring a hiccup, I see Garand getting the call the rest of the way after tonight in the group.

Either way, go Cossa go, and I cannot wait for the puck to drop tonight on this tourney for Canada.

Maybe the coaches felt the team needed a challenge...

 

[Mathieukferland]

This age group of Latvians gave the strongest u18 Canada team I have ever seen fits in Texas in a close game; I expect a closer game than his been the case against Latvia in the past

 

[Torts]

It's not unimaginable that Cossa will play vs Latvia and Garand vs Slovakia. Goalie playing better move on as #1. We've seen it time and time again in this tournament.

That's certainly possible, according to Cameron it seems.
