Isn't the final a best of 3 series?

Wow, somehow I didn't know that. Still, they can lose in a semi-final game.

 

[Represent.]

In a single game, anything can happen. Remember what happened against Latvia at the last Olympics.

In 7-game series, they would be unbeatable.

Yeah final is best of 3.
And there's no way they're losing in the semis.

Please score Czechs

I'm just thankful we don't have to hear Healy going off every 5 minutes about the best goalie in the world and our lord and saviour Jesus H. Price.

 

[User 479360]

I forgot or didn't hear about Healy being fired. I won't miss him.

As for the game: I sure hope Pietrangelo will be okay. He's a very good and underrated defenceman.

I'm going out tomorrow, and watched both games today, so I'll probably just skip the Sweden and Russia game and PVR the NA/Finland one.

I don't think I'll watch every game. I don't have the time or energy.

 

[NetMapel]

I love the salt in this thread already. Day 1 y'all !

 

[calder]

Russia vs Sweden tomorrow should be great


Lmao at Perry cam

 

[zroid]

What a sequence of saves lol

 

[User 479360]

I can't wait to see North America again. It's hard not to cheer for them.

I'm obviously cheering for Canada, but I'd love to see NA do really well.

1. Canada
2. North America
3. Europe, Sweden or Finland

*takes a breath*

PRICE SHUTOUT

I can finally say that again

HE HAS RISEN

I love how Don still calls them Czechoslovakia.

 

[IcyBlueStrawberry]

Well he was sticking up for Euros earlier so baby steps, I guess.

For Zroid / ZombieJames

Carey Price shutout streak for CAN has passed 200 mins mark, dating back to goal from Latvia LW Lauris Darzins late in 1st P of Sochi QF.

 

[Razorskin]

:lol at Team USA

For Zroid / ZombieJames

Best goalie on earth + a brick wall for defence

 

[zroid]

LOL somehow I missed when Halak speared Kane in the groin yesterday

that's fantastic

 

[Red_Man]

Pacioretty on the 4th line, Kane practicing on the 3rd line with Abdelkader, Torts is legitimately stupid.

 

[Quick]

Pacioretty on the 4th line, Kane practicing on the 3rd line with Abdelkader, Torts is legitimately stupid.

What the fuck is this lol.

They lost 3-0 against Team fucking Europe though, so maybe that'll actually work.

 

[Merguson]

Pacioretty on the 4th line, Kane practicing on the 3rd line with Abdelkader, Torts is legitimately stupid.

Well, Pacioretty is the worst captain in Habs history after all.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

It's fitting for the worst captain in Habs history is it not?

 

[Curufinwe]

Kessel sitting at home, laughing his as off.

I hope Canada thump them and the entire USA management team get the boot.

 

[Red_Man]

I can't imagine how the players feel as they see their coach scratch guys like Byfuglien, and bury star players so scrubs like Abdelkader can play more. How do you stay motivated when you're being led by that?

 

[Kazerei]

Damn kopitar speaks good english

I'll take what he's having

 

[ZeroGravity]

All three scratches for Russia play for the Lightning lol

At least they still have Kucherov.

 

[zroid]

Markstrom starting over Lundqvist....

 

[Red_Man]

Must be a pretty serious illness for Lunqvist to not dress.....pulling for Sweden to still come through with the win

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Markstrom starting over Lundqvist....

Well..... good luck Sweden.

 

[Lovely Salsa]

What happened to Kovalchuck. Man his career ended once he left NHL. Even SKA arent happy with him

I also see no Radulov or Monzyakin (spelling)


Weird

Pretty sure Radulov bailed on the tournament for his own reasons.

 

[zroid]

Kovalchuk signed in China right? I vaguely remember hearing that but I might have imagined it :lol

Radulov might be a call up if someone gets injured since he's in Montreal right now. That's what the Russian Coach said.

 

[Lovely Salsa]

There were rumors but he's still in SKA IIRC

A shame we're missing Zetterberg and Steen. We need full squad to have a chance against Canada (assuming we get that far)

Oh well

We still have Sedins, Bäckström, Forsberg and Loui. Should be enough in the group stage

 

[calder]

I honestly don't think the drop off to markstrom is that big. Still think Sweden should take this one.

 

[zroid]

that broken stick, oof

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Russia needs Provorov and Sergachev next World Cup. This Defence is poop

 

[ElephantShell]

Zaitsev has looked competent.

 

[KillerMan91]

I honestly don't think the drop off to markstrom is that big. Still think Sweden should take this one.

Last time Sweden won Russia in international men's game was in World Championships 2004.

 

[Red_Man]

Panarin has looked really good, although that shouldn't be much of a surprise.

Edit : "Nathan Boo-lee-o" thanks Kypreos, it's been a while since I've heard such butchering of players names.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Josi and Subban is going to be a fun Defence pairing to watch in the NHL

 

[Red_Man]

Bob has been really good this game, bodes well for Foggy.

 

[Smiley90]

Score. Celly. Repeat.
After much debate of fan suggestions, #TeamNA landed on Opposite of Adults by @chiddybang as their #WCH2016 goal song.

[zroid]

What a shot

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Sweden!

 

[zroid]

welp

Koolaidmin robbed by the MVPost

oh my god Simpson using Ovechkin's skating speed to rebuke him. this player tracking shit is going to get abused so much. when are these morons going to figure out that Ovi's entire gameplan on the PP is to ninja it by not getting too involved till the last second and boom it's in the net. it kinda works.
