[1Gold Standard]

Should be a dandy warm up for this evening's big Montreal v Tampa match. It's a great day for hockey.

Seriously though, this should be an entertaining tilt.

I think we are due for an OT nail biter. 4-3 OT

 

[Everlasting]

Lander > Crosby

Lets do this. Meatballs always triumph canadian gooses.

 

[Nakawick]

Canada 10-0

 

[Howe Elbows 9]

The writer of this article thinks Granberg is likely to play tonight, probably replacing Ahnelöv.

 

[Zero Requiem]

Canada 6-2

 

[Number1Thing]

Canada scores max. 3 goals tonight.

 

[LaGu]

Sjogren is moved to center the 2nd line with Moller and Lindstrom.

J.Ericsson is moved to wing on the 3rd line with Lindholm and Rask.

Hjalmarsson is moved to the 4th line with Lundqvist and Josefsson.

 

[tade]

Going to this game, I cant wait!! This is gonna be awesome. Go Canada, Go Giroux!

 

[mattihp]

The game of the tournament. Sweden's forwards are not exceptional outside of the first line, but the balance on defense is really good.

 

[NyQuil]

On the one hand, Sweden is probably Canada's best opposition yet.

On the other hand, I like to think that Canada is improving with every game and as the team gets comfortable.

 

[Lemieuxs]

Lander > Crosby

Lets do this. Meatballs always triumph canadian gooses.

- Lander is not better than Crosby
- Meatballs (Swedish) will not *always* triumph over Canadian goose. Yikes!
- If you have more than one goose, it is geese. Not gooses.

Conclusion: Canada wins!

 

[Jonteeh]

- Lander is not better than Crosby
- Meatballs (Swedish) will not *always* triumph over Canadian goose. Yikes!

Conclusion: Canada wins!

I think he knows that and It's just banter

 

[Pgust]

5-2 or 6-3 Canada.

And yes, meatballs are way better than both Canadian goose jackets and the goose itself which is the ugliest bird alive that don't do anything except being annoying.

 

[xxxx]

two tough games in a row, should be interesting. I expect the best performance from Canada so far.

 

[Proust*]

eat dogs.

ride pigs.

love cows.

Canada 4, Sweden 2.

 

[johan f]

eat dogs.

ride pigs.

love cows.

Canada 4, Sweden 2.

Fair enough!

 

[Cruz]

eat dogs.

ride pigs.

love cows.

Canada 4, Sweden 2.

I can live with this.

Regarding the game i am pretty sure Canada will win with something like 24-0. Because they are the hockey-capital of the world and basically invented ice-hockey... and butter tarts.

 

[NHL Dude 120]

Honestly what's up with Schenn not getting a game???

 

[tony d]

5-4 in overtime for Canada, should be a great game.

 

[LaGu]

Anyhow, I don't care which team wins today. We are not in the elimination rounds yet. I just want to see some good hockey, especially from Klefbom, Lander, Hall and Eberle

 

[jigglysquishy]

This will definitely be Canada ' s hardest test. Swedes have looked good.

 

[SH15]

I love the light hearted comments between the two fan groups! (Lander > Crosby and 10-0 Canada both had me laughing)

Should be a great game. Can't wait!

 

[m4tt145]

- Lander is not better than Crosby
- Meatballs (Swedish) will not *always* triumph over Canadian goose. Yikes!
- If you have more than one goose, it is geese. Not gooses.

Conclusion: Canada wins!

You must be fun at parties!

I don't think we'll win, but I hope it'll be a close game.

 

[glue]

I think Canada will need to be better defensively against the Swedes then against the Czechs, the game with the Czechs was a lot closer then the score indicated. If not for some big saves from Smith early..that game could have turned out quite different.
