Always good to meet Canada early in the tournament, they regularly start bit slowly. Obviously we are clear underdogs but you never know.

 

[The Blue Baron]

Agreed @llwyd from a team Finland perspective.
However I like the energy from this year’s Canadian group.
Should be a great match up.
I’d like to see Yager light it up as he is a Jets prospect!

 

[hockey20000]

the finland team on paper is good enough to win gold so it's a first good game for canada could go either way but i predict 4-3 finland final

 

[Jukurit]

Should be easy win for Canada. Finland's defense is weak. 6-2

 

[jj cale]

I'll go 4-3 Canada

 

[JackSlater]

3-1 Canada is my prediction.

Yes unfortunately that will probably be the case. Our chance might actually be going full offense cause we won't be able to defend anyway lol.

 

[mattihp]

What are the expected lines?

 

[ChicagoBullsFan]

No mercy Canada 8 Finland 1.
Player of the game Gavin McKenna 1+4.

 

[Czechboy]

I think Canada will come out flying.. 5-1. Finns will grow as tourney progresses.

 

[Eye of Ra]

All aboard team Finland today. Choo choo

 

[Svedu]

First game Canada will come out like hungry tigers. 8-3 to Canada. Rimpinen will have a bad game.

If Finlands D will s*ck (most likely), I just can't understand why they left Muhonen out of the roster. Big bodied and can skate and already accustomed to the smaller rinks and faster play. Especially when he's considered as a defensive minded D. Quite strange to leave such a guy out of the roster. Convinced he would've been useful in bottom pairing and PK.

 

[peconcan]

Anyone know if restaurants near the rink will be open today

 

[Joe Zanussi]

Canada 7-2

[Erikfromfin]

Finland will destroy Canada and they will bow at our supremacy!

 

[NyQuil]

Finland will destroy Canada and they will bow at our supremacy!

After a round robin game?

It’s meaningless unless you fail to qualify for the playoffs.

No bowing necessary.

 

[Svedu]

Haha, ErikFin and NyQuil. You are two very convinced fans. Finland vs Canada. I hope the game is exciting even if Canada will probably crush us in the first game.

my answer

kanada

Blame Canada.

 

[TheGroceryStick]

No bronze to win today. So Finland will lose.

 

[CycloneSweep]

3-1 Finland
Canada team doesn’t seem good this year.

 

[Svedu]

Canadas black kits this year is pretty good looking. The hockey socks are cheeky with the leaf.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Best game of day 1.
