"Ohhhhhhhhh, Canada!"

[Hinterland]

So, who's gonna run the Canadian PP's tonight? Lee? Parayko? Matheson? Which Forwards to look for? Obviously MacKinnon and? Scheifele? Simmonds? O'Reilly? Skinner?

 

[karlstegger]

Scheifele has yet to show us what he normally does, I think. Look for the kids line, they have been fun to watch so far. Giroux has been creating a few chances and Skinner has been visible. Simmonds has not been lucky in front of goal as of yet. Mack has looked in top shape, really using his speed (and that wrister of course).

 

[xxxx]

I like the fact that all 4 lines could dominate the opposition in every game so far. The kid line has been doing pretty good job. I think the coaching stuff with Cooper in lead did good changes for this game though. It's obvious that Duchene could use a change, and him with Couturier and Skinner should be pretty dangours line. MacKinnon has been the best canadian player so far, and playing him with Scheifele now makes sense. Scheif can be unstoppable if he wants to. Can't wait for when he turns it on. Giroux-Simmonds duo could work too. I like the changes. Excited to see Parayko. When he's on, he will be the best D-man of this team ainec.

By the way, off topic but I'm so excited to see Draisaitl for Germany. Just how will the home people react to his amazing plays he's a superstar.

 

[Hinterland]

I need to dress two more forwards and one more defender for my fantasy team. Currently have Lee, MacKinnon and Skinner. MacKinnon probably a safe bet to score tonight but not sure about Skinner. He didn't play much vs France, even before his misconduct. Also seems to be playing with Duchene and Couturier. Therefore I might go with Giroux.
What about defense? Since Lee is in the lineup I think safe to assume that he's gonna play on the PP as well?

 

[Canuckistani]

Canada 4-2

 

[Bear12Good]

Excited to see Parayko. When he's on, he will be the best D-man of this team ainec.

.

Lee better)

 

[snipes]

Big game here.

 

[snipes]

Lee better)

Not even close. Have you watched Parayko Bear? Parayko is an amazing player.

 

[Hinterland]

Not even close. Have you watched Parayko Bear? Parayko is an amazing player.

He sure is. But how valuable will he be for Canada? He has to get used to european ice, might also have to fight a jetlag. It will also depend on how Cooper intends to use him? Will he get PP icetime or not?

The timezone difference could be tough. I'm not sure if he'll get much PP time or not, he's got a cannon shot he can rip at 100+ mph. For a guy 6'6 he's a phenomenal skater, he'll be a guy to watch this game.

I'm a huge Parayko fan, he's my favourite non-Oiler player in the NHL. He's excellent, but like you said jet lag could be an issue.

 

[Hinterland]

So the Swiss Coaches decided to dress Suri and scratch Malgin because they want "more speed"

Really. Never been that embarrassed to be Swiss...Hiller playing over Genoni once again also doesn't help. Expect a blowout tonight

 

[Braeden]

Is Pius Suter drafted by a team yet? I want the Canucks to sign him.

 

[TMLeafer]

Loving the atmosphere from these Swiss fans.

 

[Braeden]

Loving the atmosphere from these Swiss fans.

They are super loud

 

[Hinterland]

Is Pius Suter drafted by a team yet? I want the Canucks to sign him.

Nope. Undrafted. Could indeed make it at some point. Huge talent. Not sure he's quite there yet.

 

[Braeden]

Nope. Undrafted. Could indeed make it at some point. Huge talent. Not sure he's quite there yet.

Hm, Benning did say he was watching only the games in France so maybe Suter is on his radar.

 

[Bear12Good]

Not even close. Have you watched Parayko Bear? Parayko is an amazing player.

Sure)
Pareyko great player.

 

[stv11]

Odins is back...

 

[Braeden]

Ryan O'Reilly!

 

[TMLeafer]

ROR on the powerplay!

 

[Hinterland]

They are super loud

It's actually super quiet. You should go to watch Swiss (or German) club hockey

 

[KalmarKnights]

Weak PK.

 

[oooooooooohCanada]

So, who's gonna run the Canadian PP's tonight? Lee? Parayko? Matheson? Which Forwards to look for? Obviously MacKinnon and? Scheifele? Simmonds? O'Reilly? Skinner?

The PP has been running through Marner this tournament.
