Canada looks for its second straight win at the 2006 world junior hockey championship in Vancouver when it faces Switzerland today (6:30pm et/3:30pm pt on TSN). Justin Pogge, who back-stopped Canada to a 5-1 win over Finland in their tournament opener, is expected to start against the Swiss.

arent the swiss traditionally fairly solid on defence? i would expect a closer game.... something like 5-1 or so

 

[USA!]

Good Luck tonight I hope Toews can get on the score card! Awalys nice to see Sioux players do well

 

[canucksfan]

Why wouldn't Downie be playing?

He has the flu. Sutter said yesterday that he would have played yesterday if there was a game but he might have got worse.

yep,even though the scores have'nt always reflected it they have historically been better and pretty darn solid on defense as opposed to offense where they lack players that can finish.

PP Canada. I can sense a goal coming up for us!

 

[canucksfan]

This ref is calling it way too close.

 

[Zetterberg4Captain*]

Wow what a ****** powerplay. Wasted opportunity.

 

[Schenn02]

Go Team Canada Go!!

I predict a 9-1 win!

 

[shakes]

Sloppy, sloppy game by Canada so far.. they seem to have forgotten that they actually have to play the game. The swiss are outhitting Canada.. now a 2 man advantage for the Swiss.

 

[shakes]

and now Canada is losing.. wtg... 10 -0 eh?

 

[Zetterberg4Captain*]

****! 2 man advantage PP goal by Switzerland! 1-0 Swiss!

 

[canucksfan]

Wow 1-0 Switzerland

 

[jcorb58]

pretty bad call that elbowing penalty

We are playing like a bunch of bums

 

[Aaron Vickers]

Wow 1-0 Switzerland

Swiss score on a two-man advantage, on a point shot deflected between the legs by the Canadian defender.

 

[shakes]

Canada is going to get destroyed by the US if they play like this... Sutter better correct this.
