[leaflover]

I'll say 6-4 Canada.
It could come down to special teams.Both squads have good pps so discipline will be very important.

[Macman]

If Canada stays out of the box, it'll be a piece of cake, say 6-3.

[Nordik_19]

6-2 Canada
Crosby, Bergeron (2), Carter, Dixon, Phaneuf

What if Russia wins?


Or Canada scores 8 goals?

Man I would love for Dixon to score the game winner. What a moment that would be for him, huh? His only goal at the WJC, a game winner. I hope it happens.

Then I'm **** out of luck.

[High flyin' Habs*]

My heart wants Russia to win but I'll say Canada 4-3.

[Boucicaut]

Both have great offense while Russian defense looks shaky compared to Canada. Glass hasn't been properly tested yet though. Canada has last change and kind of home ice too.
Therefore, I'll go for a 6-4 victory for Canada, the last one being an empty-netter.

Edit: Crosby, Bergeron, Stafford, Carter x2 and Ladd for Canada. Ovechkin, Malkin and Shirokov x2 for Russia.

I hope for a clean hitting game, without childish taunting or moronic headhunting.

[wilka91*]

Pretty evenly matched teams, it's likely to be a very close game.

I won't make any predictions, but I'm really confident about the Russians and my heart is with them!

[MOGiLNY]

why was the other thread closed???

whatever man, 5:3 Russia

ROSSIYA ROSSIYA ROSSIYA ROSSIYA ROSSIYA

and for the non-Russian speaking community, that means RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA.. so don't worry I didn't cuss out Crosby

[cassius]

I'm hoping Malkin has a great game tonight.

5-3 Russia

Ovechkin (2), Malkin, Radulov, Shirokov

Crosby, Carter, Bergeron

I guess there were already way too many posts

so don't worry I didn't cuss out Crosby

Exactly ... isn't that hard to be a Russian when you're on a North American forum?

[Rick Middleton]

The other thread was a PRE-game day thread (PGDT). It was closed because this one is now open.

Crosby not good enough to cuss out or something?

I'll go 5:3 CANADA

[Lessy]

5-3 Canada

Getzlaf, Carter, Bergeron, Belle, Dawes
Ovechkin, Malkin, Lisin

[Douggy]

I think the game is going to end 4-2 with the last being an Empty Netter. I don't know who is going to win.

Stafford is American.

[cstu]

6-3 Canada

Bergeron (2), Crosby (2), Carter, Perry

Parshin, Shirokov, Radulov

[espo]

Did anyone hear Mackenzie talking about Canada moving Belle up with Coburn and Dropping Seabrook to the third defense pairing for this game due to some match-up issues they are considering and the fact that Seabrook is still a little gimpy with injury? Interesting development for sure.
