GDT: Exhibition • United States vs. Canada • 9/10/16 • 7PM ET

[SabresSharks]

This type a game is perfect for Perry. Disappointing.

Surprising. You'd think Canada would want him in the lineup after the physical (dirty, depending on one's opinion) American play last night.

Maybe he's not quite right? Surely Babcock hasn't already determined his tournament starting lineup.

Interesting I thought the Marchand Crosby Bergeron line was best by far I would never even dream of spilting em up.

They were for sure the best line for Canada. I just think Crosby could really get those other guys going. And if all those guys are going they are going to really be able to run up the score.

 

[satbank]

Backes and Niskanen scratched and JVR and Erik Johnson are in the lineup. Sure wish we got to see a lineup without Abdelkader or Jack Johnson in it but seems they're locks to be starting once the tournament gets underway

Jack Johnson getting scratch not with his coach in charge.

 

[Mighty Makar]

I can't wait!

I am really looking forward to this game.

 

[SI90]

Why are they playing each other again?

holtby named starter for canada

 

[Nalens Oga]

In these sorta exhibition games, it's better to scratch a guy who played well rather than scratching a guy who played like ****. Let the guy who played like **** get the bad performances out of the way while he can.

I'm personally just hoping Seguin/Stamkos get their rust out of the way along with Pietrangelo and hopefully Babcock keeps Seguin/Duchene together because they seemed to work well at the end of last game.

Wait what
Why is Crosby scratched?

nevermind, "Crosby not injured, according to Babcock. Think they want to keep him safe"

 

[JTD]

Wait what
Why is Crosby scratched?

Cause him and his line have really worked well already and no point in playing him in an exhibition game this intense when he's pretty much ready for the tournament already

 

[tacogeoff]

Wait what
Why is Crosby scratched?

Perry in?!?!! I hope!

no point in having Crosby targeted for another whole exhibition game.

Schneider to start after all?

Exactly, the game means nothing and we need him healthy to start this tournament.

After last nights exhibition there was little chance he was ever going to play today.

He looks sharp as can be anyway, we need to get other guys going ................Stamkos, tavares,Seguin and giroux in particular but really every forward aside from Marchand,sid and bergy.

Let them try to win this game and FIND their game.

different people saying different things so far, but most say bishop goes first then Schneider

Bishop is starting, I believe. USA Hockey on those sheets often has lines/goalies order screwed up. Bishop should be listed as the starter

So Perry is in after all. Nice

Someone tweeted Holtby and Crawford will be splitting tonight.

Here it is:

I'm not sure, but these could very well be the lines for today:

Marchand - Bergeron - Seguin
Tavares - Getzlaf - Perry
Couture - Toews - Stamkos
Duchene - Giroux - Thornton

not sure about the D

Bruins board would be up in flames

LOL, Canada gonna try and goon it up with their all-star team.

We are not going to try to goon anything up, we are going to try to get our guys going and our game together and meet the physical challenge the U.S issued to us last game.

 

[He Is Knocking]

Great physical game last night . Looking for Canada to match the intensity tonight. I thought the Kesler hit was fine. Weber sold out to make a play and got ate up. It's called hockey.

 

[Call me betty*]

Hoping Canada cleans the floor with this USA team...

I'm an American but i will never ever root for Torterella...He's pure scum.
