GDT: Austria Vs Russia | 29/12 @ 9:30PM ET | TSN/NHLN

[Passionis]

"Confidently beat Sweden" rarely happens anyway, most of these games are pretty close . At least Sweden's style fits Russia's more than the Czech Republic's. This will be an interesting litmus test.

It's not impossible, ref 6-0 win vs Canada last year. But I'm just saying, the level of hockey they need to play to convince me again that they ar on the right track. A lucky win against Sweden won't quiet do it.

 

[Three On Zero]

Podkolzin needs to have a big game tonight

 

[Zub]

There needs to be 8 goals scored here for me to win some money so hoping for a goalscoring fest

Nothing. He's been scratched.

Another one-sided affair coming up. Good news though, almost finished round 1, the really fun stuff starts in the knock-out round.

 

[BigBadBoar]

Wraneschitz out of the line-up for Austria (makes sense, must be exhausted as hell after that effort vs Sweden). So I expect double digits almost for sure.

I wish we would wear a black jersey but I've never seen it.

Chinakhov I meant, not Amirov.

 

[Canada4Gold]

I thought he was a Leaf pick. Amirov?

I assume he was talking about Chinakhov who drew the penalty shot and got hurt

 

[Ginger Papa]

Ok. I’m often wrong so that’s why I asked. Lol
