thanks...
I see on GDT : "F 72 Artemi Panarin Injured"

 

[jimstark]

If youre not.... be afraid Canada...Young Russia wanted this mathcup and played a perfect yet boring game against the Czech without having to do so much
Znarok will unleash hell and Russia now finially with quicker deffence and best goalie in the tournament (best in the world in 3 years winning his first Vezina then) will explode having 80 % support from the fans
Watch for Kuchrov having a hatrick all sett up by Panarin.
Dont forget out checking line...it will surprice you...

ok then

Canada's offense and their never ending forecheck will dominate this game and destroy Russians confidence and Canada will take over this game rather easily. Looking forward to it. Go Canada Go!

Russia can't match Canada's offense for 60 minutes. Nonetheless, it should hell of a game.

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Will be a very interesting matchup, this year it looks like Russia may take it. Good luck Russia! Vpered!

 

[Wayfarer]

Pickard again in net?

 

[Zamuz]

the first actual game for Canada

 

[jfc64]

Panodil + Samarin = Panarin!

 

[JackSlater]

Should be a close one. I don't really trust either group of defencemen, so probably high scoring. Avoiding penalties will be key on both sides. Canada has better depth, Russia has a better goaltender. I will predict 4-3 for Canada, but wouldn't be surprised at all to see the opposite.

 

[ijuka]

the first actual game for Canada

Pretty crazy how imbalanced the groups were, isn't it?

 

[SwissAvsFan]

Mironov not playing? Don't see him in the warm up.

 

[Pandaman11]

the first actual game for Canada

You mean except the one they lost?

Pretty crazy how imbalanced the groups were, isn't it?

Yep but that's because the Czechs have become so weak and the Finns didn't have a good group stage.

Please help me understand Russia's lineup. Kuznetsov 13th forward? Panarin defenseman? How should I read it?

Thanks

 

[tony d]

Should be a good game, I hope the team plays better today than it did vs. Germany.

 

[NyQuil]

Not overly confident for a change.

Canada going to have to raise it to another level.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Canada at 44% and Russia at 50% on the PP. Wowzers!

 

[Pi]

Should be a good game, I hope the team plays better today than it did vs. Germany.

What was wrong with the way they played against Germany? The score was close but the game was not...they completely dominated Germany from start to finish.

Can you contradict yourself even more in the same post?

Anyway, go Russia.

[fouba]

[NyQuil]

Marner is Canada's best so far.

 

[NyQuil]
