jammer2 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 With the Fins upset of Team USA, this game takes on much more importance, they can get a bye without even beating USA if they beat Denmark (easy win) and the Czechs (not so easy) tonight. Nice to see the Wedger get the start tonight....I'm sure every Canadian (besides Visitins family...lol) want to see Wedger get a solid game behind him and not look back. I'm thinking to steal the job he has to be not only spectacular but mistake free....a tall order. Let's hope Stone Cold (apparently a new nickname from Canadians on Twitter...lol) has some more magic up his sleeves. Expect a better effort from Howden, Connolley and Scheiffle (sp...lol) who were not bad but a little quiet against the Fins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Stone strikes again!!! Another goal in the dirty areas, becoming a habit for the youngster....what a great story!! This Marasek kid looks like a solid keeper....the Wigns might have hit it big here...successor to Howard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyercanuck Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Glad to see a closer game than the Finns game. Agree Scheifele has to be better. Thought they'd let Huberdeau take the shot but you can't argue with the hot hand. Just win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I'm sure he'll come around fc, I expect a goal from Scheifele in the 2nd!! To much talent to hold him off the board for much longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Think it's very cool that Canada is wearing the retro jersey's tonight! It's in honour of the 1982 Team that won the Gold Medal. Don't know if anyone else remembers, but when Canada won that year, they could not find Oh Canada to play over the speaker system, so the team sang it loud and proud....touching off a tradition carried on to this day. Many think it was that touching rendition of the anthem that propelled this tournament into the extravaganza it is today. Ironically enough, that year was also the last time Canada had brothers on it....Mike and Randy Moller, believe Randy scored the winner in 82 also. Just a nice touch of class by Team Canada officials!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I swear, nicest breakaway pass I've EVER seen by a goalie by Wedgewood on that 3rd Canadian goal.....WOW, perfect length of the ice pass to put Stone in the clear....wow was that a beauty!!

jammer2 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) One period off on the prediction...but ATTA BOY Mark!!!! Nice roof job!!! EDIT.....x2!!!!! WOOOHOOOOO!!! Edited December 29, 2011 by jammer2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyercanuck Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Wedgewoods pass would have made Hextall proud, and really opened the game up for Canada after an incredible performance by the Czech 'tender. Nice to see the Colts combine for 2g 2a. The 2nd pass by Pearson had "linemate" written all over it. The only way it's at all a game against Denmark is if they're sleeping. Bring on the US on New Years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
