Will be in 4K on SN for Canadians.

Lucky. Assuming nothing in the US then

Canadian here - I think Canada is gonna be served some humble pie on home ice tonight

Here here

Those guys are gritty but not mean and nasty. Watching the first two games i don't think there's any doubt the US is the more physical team.

To be fair, Finland is also a more physical team than Sweden. Just in terms of their hockey culture and how their national team typically plays.

So Canada didn't really have to get into it in the same way against Sweden.

Not that I'm disagreeing with your basic premise, but those two games were very different.

I don't think USA will be as physical against Sweden as Canada will be against Finland IMO.

On paper, the USA has the more physical roster, and Canada clearly sees it similarly by putting Bennett in.

(Although taking Konecny out for him is one step forwards, one step backwards. I'd have taken Cirelli out but Cooper has to coach him for the rest of the year.)

Well keep Nickelback. Bieber is all yours.

No thank you. You can keep Bieber.

Yea i guess that's true as well, they were two very different games. There was a skirmish in the US Finland game like 5 seconds in, didn't see that once the whole Canada Sweden game.

No really, you can have him. Consider it a peace offering please and not an act of aggression.

Flight was delayed but my excitement cannot be contained. Hoping for a great matchup for the ages!

It wouldn't surprise me.

There's 10X as much pressure on the Canadian squad.

Crosby is going to have to play the game of his life and settle down the boys.

Good luck! Weather around here lately has been a bit nuts.

Get those tissues ready Canada, the new era starts tonight.

I expect this thread to be nothing but civil and polite discourse.

I really think that depends on Canadians and their ability to submit to their overlords.

 

[featherhawk]

Sure do hope Cooper comes to his senses and plays Aiden Hill...

 

[rynryn]

Think I might cheer for Canada.

What's Matthew Tkachuk gonna do ? Turtle as usual ?

Initially I hated the idea of this tournament but this is MUST watch tv.

Submission isn’t really our strong suit.

It’s too cold up here to bend over.

Well, if you're a Canadian player trying to raise your name recognition, get some street-cred, get some of that sweet Tim Hortons ad money, etc. now is the time

If Brandon Hagel or Seth Jarvis get a game-winner, they might be on the $5 bill by the weekend.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

LET'S SEE A FIGHT TONIGHT PLEASE

I picked up a double double at the intersection of Hagel and Jarvis.

I just hope we see Celine doing the crip walk at halftime.

 

[robertocarlos]

Never was. This is a modtatorship.

I like how you quietly go about your business.

You should check out a map some time. We have the high ground.

Most of it, don’t forget about Alaska

 

[Ratsreign]

I'm not criticizing the tourists, I'm saying the place is completely overwhelmed now to the point where to get there, you're forced to take a shuttle from Banff. I'll probably never go there again which sucks because I love it.

I am, lol (at least the obnoxious and disrespectful ones). Tourists are both blessing and curse in my locale.
Anyways, It seems to me the awesomeness of that place would be greatly diminished by a crowd of people.

Let's be real, Alaska is ours anyway. It's about time we took it back.
