GDT: Exhibition • North America vs. Europe

[tucker3434]

No surprise. NFL is King in the USA and it's the season opener. I'm a huge football fan too (go Seahawks!).

Hopefully ESPN does a good job cover the games. You guys get this game right?

ESPN2. I believe all USA and North America games will be televised.

And I'll be flipping back and forth between hockey and football tonight. Just wish we could have a bit of actual pregame for hockey. Not like NHL network is doing anything important right now.

This is going to be real interesting, I like the lines on paper for Team N.A and just how is Team Europe going to be?

Will they even care? I want them to play hard and try to put this young gunz team in it's place.

If they are here, i guess they will, somehow.

 

[jj cale]

shut up

Well, I am not cheering for them but i am cheering for them to compete.

I want a good game tonight, the SWE-FINN game earlier today really didn't do it for me, lacked crowd interest.

I sure hope so, we are soon going to find out.

That was one of the worst best-on-best games I've ever seen. If this isn't better I'll be shocked.

 

[Nordic*]

Youngsters should win this quite easily.

I'm guessing 5-2.

Just showed an interview with jumbo Joe about the Can-U.S game tomorrow.

God thornton.........get rid of that beard will you already? Looks hideous.

This Europe team isn't as bad as everyone says the are.

Yeah, it wasn't much of a game was it?

I'm with you on this game, I think it should be better.

 

[jj cale]

No, they have some good players on that Team, when you have guys like Kopitar leading the way along with what else they have then they should be allright if they compete hard.

And people say they aren't hyped for this tournament, there is going to be amazing hockey with some intense games.

Yeah, but who knows how much they really care. We will see, I guess.

 

[Lauro]

I expect a typical 9-6 All-Star Game win. Who won the skills competition?

How I missed hockey.

Sweden and Finland really really hate each other. I think they have the best rivalry right now

The Russia v Czechia game especially silenced that narrative.

These guys are playing hard and intense hockey.

 

[Irishguy42]

Hopped onto Sportsnet to catch the pre-game.

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd now I'm crying.

I'm keeping an eye out for a few select posters.....

Real respect for them about remembering....

Hard to believe that plane crash was 5 years ago. Sad day for the hockey world.

Don't think so, the crowd and the player intensity would have been much higher in a Canada-U.S game.

You could say it was because the tournament does not hold the interest that a traditional WHC has for them but that stuff never matters when the U.S and Canada get together, they always go at it like cats and dogs no matter the tournament.

From what I saw of that game I agree, those 2 teams played real hard today.

Strong nostalgia hearing that ESPN Hockey intro!!
