Thinking this game probably goes to OT. Another US-Canada nailbiter.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Gut is saying 3-2 USA in OT.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Going to say 5-2 USA.

 

[Peasy]

Its been 8 years since having this classic on this day (after having it in 6 of 9 years before).

Its been too long.

 

[NyQuil]

I predict that a lot of people will be upset with the officiating.

On a fact finding mission?

 

[HoweFan]

I’m a proud Canadian but I suspect an American win. So far this has been a very disappointing Canadian team. Time for a few guys to step it up

The fact that this has become George’s team is a bit unexpected considering the riches of recent draft classes.

Having a good goalie can certainly make a huge difference but it feels like he’s become the Team Canada story because no one else has stepped up.

Americans are going to spank us.

 

[NordiquesForeva]

I’ll be at the game. I expect an electric atmosphere, and the Canadian offense to look a little better. I think tonight is when the Canadian team starts rolling. 4-2 Canada, with an empty netter.

Ritchie with 2, Dickinson on the PP, and Gauthier with the EN.

I thought about getting tickets but I ended up in Costa Rica instead. VPN it is.

That’s a good outcome. My son and I have been to almost all the games at Lansdowne, it’s been fun. Tonight will be our only trip out to the CTC.

 

[Tryblot]

With the way canada has played, I'd say usa is in for an easy win, but usa hasn't been impressive either, so who knows.

 

[JackSlater]

It's the resistible force vs. the movable object as Canada's offence tries to overcome USA's defence. Neither team has been all that good so I don't really know what to expect.

 

[FLAMESFAN]

This is the kind of game that both teams need - a little extra rivalry to light some passion in the players & fans! Let's just hope for an exciting game!

 

[Sheppy]

5-3 States

 

[Team_Spirit]

At last

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

American bout to big brother Canada in the worst way.

6-1 America

 

[FLAMESFAN]

With a win today, Carter George could be taking on a legendary status....

What part? I miss living there.

 

[HoweFan]

The US seems to be giving up a few goals. How has Augustine been doing?
