[Smart Dunsparce*]

Scrivens not starting? What a joke.

 

[Tomas W]

Canada will be heavy favourites for this one. Finland have not impressed. But they still have a good chance of course, Finland have come up with upsets before, and can now play with pretty low expectations.

I'm still predicting a Canadian victory here. "D-team" Canada or not I think they got a good mix of youth and grit on their team, and I doubt they want to go home today already.

 

[Howe Elbows 9]

Scrivens not starting? What a joke.

Note that Canada's roster is prefaced with "Unconfirmed lineup". I don't think an official roster has been posted anywhere yet.

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

Scrivens is starting for Canada.

 

[Woodhouse]

Whyno notes that Scrivens will start, Burrows (leg) will return, and Myers (flu) took the morning skate and will play after missing yesterday's practice.

 

[Rob]

I know Finland has played poorly at this tournament but I really really wish Canada was playing Belarus instead.

 

[FiLe]

FIN lineup confirmed otherwise the same as projection, save for J.Sallinen being 13th forward instead of Savinainen.

Tremble before our might, Canadians.

 

[agent082]

To me Canada is 60-40 favourite to win this match.

 

[An Argument For]

I really wish we didn't have to play Finland. This team Canada is very young and Finland is dangerous in these tournaments. I know it's not a great Finland squad but they do have the best goalie in the tournament when he's playing well and they have some dangerous guys who can make plays. Jokinen is a proven star, Komarov impressed me a lot at the Olympics and I think Lehterä is a very good young player as well.

I feel another quarter final bus stop coming up.

 

[Pine Bluff Variant]

Oh boy, this'll be fun. I think Canada can go the distance this year.

 

[Raimo Sillanpää]

To me Canada is 60-40 favourite to win this match.

90-10 in favour of Canada imo

 

[44]

1 - 0 Finland
Rinne plays like a god and Haula scores on a breakaway

 

[tony d]

Finland has always played Canada tough. Canada probably still wins but it'll be closer than what it should be.

 

[m4tt145]

Im rooting for Finland. Rinne shuts the door and Finlands wins!

 

[OilerPensfan97]

Scrivens not starting? What a joke.

Scrivens is now confirmed.

 

[TheFeistyFinn]

Canada 5-1 :/

 

[HockeyFan100]

Finland will probably win

 

[Jussi]

A Russian ref, both teams are screwed.

 

[roto]

4-1 for Canada.

 

[JoeyBeans]

5-3 Canada

 

[Aksu]

6-1 for canada

 

[Systemfel]

Burrows is on the top line, it seems.

[OmniSens]

TSN guy continuously calling him Bren Scrivens get it right!

 

[glue]

90-10 in favour of Canada imo

That is just disrespecting the Finns team. Everyone talks about NHL players like their miles ahead of all these players from other leagues, but I really think in a short tournament like this, team chemistry (the fact that these guys have played together a lot), team strategy - which Finland normally employs masterfully and a goalie who can easily steal a game in a 1 game elimination is being downplayed big time. Yes Canada is still favoured to win..but no way its 90 to 10..more like 65-35. Fact is Canada inspite of having a solid offence if they run into a hot goalie, their done...cause guaranteed Finns will get tons of scoring chances
