This game reminds me of the '99 game in winnipeg against the USA. The U.S. had nothing to lose as they were eliminated from the playoff round while Canada would be advancing. USA won 5-2.
Wait a minute....
Are you suggesting the USA has no pride?
If there's anything I've come to know is that if American pride is on the line, I should be worried.
Does the usa even have the muscle to goon it up? They have a bunch of little guys up front. Canada has a pretty big team all round.
The thing is Canada has nothing to lose in this game really if the States ebat them that does not make any difference as Canada has won the pool already.
Canada will have a very tough time tonight IMO. They will be facing a very angry and focused American team and Canada may come out flat with the birth in the semi final already clinched. 7-3 USA the final. This will be a very physical and chippy game as well.
You get the Captain Obvious of the day award.
Based on your track record, as a Team Canada fan I'm ecstatic with your prediction. .
I fully expect the yanks to attempt to goon it up.
The U.S., even at forward is bigger overall than Canada.
I just hope the Canadians avoids injury and suspension.
The game is meaningless. I don't care if we lose as long as we enter the Semi's healthy, ready and well rested.
I almost want Canada to lose. I'd hate for them to go into the medal rounds with a sense of complacency. They've yet to face the other two real contenders in this tournament, and there isn't a path to the Gold that doesn't go through at least one of Sweden and Russia.

This. Just stay out of the crap. If we lose the game, who cares, just don't get involved in any junk that will hurt us in the medal round.
A medal round the other team will be watching.
I still predict a win for CAN, as always.

Shocked if a gold medal doesn't involve beating both of them.
