[Zirakzigil]

Crosby/Marner need to be swapped on their lines

Mack will probably stab the coach who tries to take Sid from him.

 

[Tryamw]

Impressed by Jarvis. Heart and soul guy.

I thank Toronto for him several times a season and Hurricanes Legend Marleau

 

[Gnome17]

Mika Zibanejad having the most icetime out of all Swedish forwards is certainly interesting. GL beating this Canada squad with him as your guy.

 

[Zirakzigil]

There’s a Pope of Nova Scotia?

This is outhouse!

 

[NyQuil]

Just as a heads-up, we don’t actually like Drake.

 

[Paxton Fettel]

NHL stream on YT is 720p what a joke this league is.

Link?

Designated visitors Canada

Location Montreal.

I don't think your know where Montreal is.

 

[Nikki Potnick]

Just as a heads-up, we don’t actually like Drake.

He definitely belongs to Canada. And I hope he bets a ton of money on their games.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Crosby/Marner need to be swapped on their lines

No way. The Cole Harbour buddies want to play together and they have great chemistry.

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Where's Scheifele?

 

[Summer Rose]

Designated visitors Canada

Location Montreal.

I don't think your know where Montreal is.

One team had to be designated the home team and the other the away team. It's how the rules work with the designated home team getting last change.

 

[NyQuil]

He definitely belongs to Canada. And I hope he bets a ton of money on their games.

He belongs to the world now.

Enjoy.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

He definitely belongs to Canada. And I hope he bets a ton of money on their games.

So does Willy Styles but that's not how it works

 

[Czechboy]

A lot of guys on Sweden looked like they were squeezing their sticks too tight that period. It'll be interesting to see how they respond in the second period.

It was not a good start for them.. Canada had a fantastic start and all went well.

Scored early
convertted a PP
Scored at 5 on 5 (third line I believe but could be wrong)

The big one I noticed is that Swedes are great at tipping pucks from the blue... most the Swedish blue line shots had little traffic in front. Canada is clearing that crease!

 

[Hank Plank]

Link?

Looks like this is only a scoreboard not the actual game. Even more lame.

 

[Razamanaz]

Tbh it looked like the swedes lacked some balls out there

Well, try that again against Finland in a day or so. Man.

Chicken Swedes.

 

[Ladyfan]

It is refreshing to get to cheer for players you don't get to normally cheer for.

Except Marchand. F that guy

You are just sad he isn't on your team

 

[NyQuil]

Where's Scheifele?

Boston Pizza.

 

[Bozo Nicholson]

Sweden is playing similar to how I imagine surströmming tastes.

 

[Bondurant]

Sweden is disappointing.

 

[Nikki Potnick]

He belongs to the world now.

Enjoy.

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

Where's Scheifele?

 

[Cnile]

Where's Scheifele?

Wanted man in Montreal
My guess is witness protection program

 

[Summer Rose]

Sweden is disappointing.

I hope they make a game of it during the next two periods just for entertainment's sake.
