barzal and strome have combined for 3 even strength points this tournament. if sweden stays outta the box, canada has no hope
 
Neither Strome nor Barzal has ever impressed me at this tournament. Lackluster last year and not much different this year.

Honestly can't understand what all the fuss was about......all they've shown me they can do is dangle against low end teams.

Frankly, ESPECIALLY with Strome, I just don't see what all the TSN hype is about.

They were both better last year. Specifically Barzal.
 
Besides Finns, is there anyone out there rooting for Canada who isn't Canadian?

Despite Sweden's performance and obvious skill, I think there is still a root for the "underdog" mentality with respect to Canada's opponents.

Not sure if that's the underdog mentality more than the rooting against the team that gets every conceivable advantage (hosting, scheduling, better dressing rooms etc) for this tournament.

Or....People just won't root for the country that is historically the best at something. Shocking!!
 
Our US announcers said we match up better with Canada than Sweden... so, get the win, neighbor!
 
I do not know where this sweden stands really, so hard to predict. But I think it will be a even game.
 
We need Ingram to step up and we need to win the special teams battle. Strome and Barzal are probably not going to contribute at even strength so we're going to need to get something out of them on the PP. Chabot is going to be gassed after this game.
