[Addison Rae]

7-0 Canada

So if you had tickets for the previous game just hide in the bathroom!

 

[Elvs]

One good line, good special teams and a good goalie can take any team far in a game. Slovakia can keep the score closer than a lot of people think. And if Canada gets a confident lead, they don't have any reason to work for a blowout win with the gold medal game tomorrow.

 

[Rozz]

This.
But it is a very tough task for Slovakia.

Well I'm hoping it turns out to be an impossible task for Slovakian lol .. but still good luck to ya

 

[IntangiBo]

Usually refs are unconsciously biased for the team that is expected to be better. That way if the weaker team loses, no one's gonna believe their whining and refs a*** are safe.

Would that be unconscious?

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

I'm hoping its a competitive, entertaining game.

 

[SlovanHC]

Well I'm hoping it turns out to be an impossible task for Slovakian lol .. but still good luck to ya

haha thanks, Im just hoping its not a blowout win and we succeed in getting bronze.

 

[Dynamo81]

Come on Slovakia, always root for you in the WJC

Enormous task, would be a massive upset against this Canada side, just please keep it interesting. At least longer than the Danes did.

 

[ViD]

RIP Slovakia

I just hope they can keep it close for like 40 minites

Nope, you need to be able to sign into TSN GO to watch. There will be a bunch of flash streams available in this thread but the quality won't be comparable.

Canada should win this, but an upset would not be surprising

 

[Skip2myBordyloo]

It would certainly be surprising.

 

[Scotty B]

No, more like SHOCKING !

 

[Patmac40]

It absolutely would be surprising. That's why it's called an upset.

 

[Jakk123]

Not surprising upset Good one

 

[Eagle Eye Cherry]

I won't even bother watching this game. I think we all know what the result of this game will be.

Canada should get through this game without trouble.

 

[General Zodd]

It would cost them Karlsson..

Done!

 

[Canadian Finn]

I won't even bother watching this game.

Why?

WTF? And you call yourself a hockey fan?

 

[Eagle Eye Cherry]

Honestly, watching the juniors is kinda boring from a Canadian perspective. Sure it's great to see them win games but most of the time the games are not close or even competitive which for me kills the tension and incentive to watch the game.

I would prefer to see Canada battle it out in a tough dramatic back and forth game with a real chance of losing than seeing guys like McDavid or Lazar or any other Canadian basically play glorified practice.

 

[Lurked4Yearz]

It would certainly be surprising.

It absolutely would be surprising. That's why it's called an upset.

The Slovakians aren't under immense pressure like the Canadians are. If Canada cannot turn on the taps early they could get frustrated and give the Slovaks the bad bounce they need to take the lead.

 

[Polar Vortex]

I just hope its competitive for the first period at least.
