Team Great Britain 2 - Team Canada 10

 

[PanniniClaus]

I see something like 8-0. No disrespect but GB back to back against a team looking to rebound. Should be very ugly.

you will come back to the real world again tommorow

Even match coming. Both teams are have lost a game 1-3. At least both teams have done better than USA, who lost 1-4. Great Britain ahead of USA, it's as if we traveled some 90 years back in time.

No I like it here in make believe land. This Canadian team lacks punch but Whistle will not be able to stem the tide. GB knows their real chance is against France...punchers chance against Denmark. They hung really tough today against a good German team.

 

[Namejs]

12-0

That Canadian line up is a tragedy..so so so many top quality players in the NHL and that's who shows up?

Disappointing. Hockey Canada needs to do better in getting players to come over.

If Canada played in Bratislava more players would have come. Kosice is A place you can do in two days. I compare it to red deer in Alberta.

To put it in perspective, guys I know who usually come for the entire tournament are only coming for 7 days.

If it wasn't for the Finish supporters I may not have come.

Fins are always ready for a party

 

[BigBadBoar]

This may easily be very ugly for GB, no matter that Dubois doesn't play yet.

 

[king89]

9-0 for great britain

 

[Gold Standard]

Team Canada needs to develop a Bunch of Jerks type of vibe in the dressing room. Bunch of Whatevers + Dylan Molasses Strome. If he doesn't come with a game today, then I'm going to start with the I Told You Sos with Dylan's hf fan club.

 

[OndrykK]

Canada power play?

 

[Kiev the Great]

Canada power play?

GB at even strength will potentially look like they are on the PK tonight, I don't hold any hope of a result today. Just hope the scoreline is not double digits. I'm also nowhere near as confident with Whistle in goal, however are better chances for results are yet to come against France and Denmark. Save Bowns for those games.

 

[BMann]

Try and limit the damage if possible and keep it respectable. Trying to avoid relegation is the key even if for only another season. Pity the BBC cannot be even bothered to put the result yesterday on their main sport page.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Anyone who thinks this game is a cake walk for team Canada gonna have a rude awakening.
Brits have created a very well balanced, smart tactic, top notch goaltending ala Bowns + they were surprisingly physical in game#1

Yes, Canada is way better in screening goalies what Germany is but still, its not gonna be easy to get pucks past that D and Bowns.

On most bookers you can't even bet on Canada or then the odds are 1.01..this is going to be a cake walk a 100%, if Canada is gonna win with less then 7 goals this is a huge victory for GB.

 

[Chloraflora]

Apparently last time we played Canada it finished 8-2 for the Canadians. I'll probably take that today

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Let’s be honest here
This is Canada vs 50%Canada

5-0 Canada

More like 20% Canada, we're playing more of our own these days!

 

[stastny12]

Final result here can look nasty. It depends how much effort canadian players put to this game. Result can be peacefully from 3:0 to 11:0. Since my team will play with Canada tomorrow, I hope Britain would make some trouble and hold the game undecided for longer time. But I think this is not the case.

 

[Broad Street Buddies]

Hockey’s coming home.

 

[Siamese Dream]

Let’s be honest here

5-0 Canada

Only 4 fully Canadian trained players on this roster and one American. Everyone else played at least some junior hockey in GB
