jammer2 Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Very nervous, this is a HUGE game against the powerhouse Americans today. Predictions for today?? I have Team Canada 4 USA 3 in overtime. Crouse gets the game winner 2 mins into OT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hf101 Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 @jammer2 ha, jammer - I'm watching the pre-game on the NHL channel here in the USA and it all about team Canada as the broadcast is with TSN.my daugher says to me why aren't they covering Team USA?

jammer2 Posted December 26, 2015 Author Share Posted December 26, 2015 @hf101 Yeah, unfortunately for you USA fans, if the broadcast is coming from TSN, they will have a lot of decidedly Canadian content. I was shocked that Perlini made the Canadians final roster, I thought he was a canidate to get edged out. The Americans are so talented, hard to single out any one player, but I expect Brandon Carlo to have a huge tourny for USA. I think he's gonna contribute some offense as well as outstanding play in his own end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jammer2 Posted December 26, 2015 Author Share Posted December 26, 2015 @jammer2 We now have USA coverage as the game is about ready to start. ah, very nice. Are you a little worried that this game is the very first game that Ron Wilson has coached in 4 years? Seems to me, he was an odd choice to begin with, but being inactive for so long, the pick is even more baffling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swflyers28 Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Hard to cheer for USA with Flyers picks (#17) Konecny and (23) Sanheim on CAN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jammer2 Posted December 26, 2015 Author Share Posted December 26, 2015 You can see the obvious talent in Barzel, but his timing seemed a bit off in the 1st....he looks like he may play a factor as this game goes further. Anyone notice some of the VERY odd bounces with the puck in this Finnish rink? Team Canada will have to be ready if and when this pops up again.

jammer2 Posted December 26, 2015 Author Share Posted December 26, 2015 Man oh man, Islanders adding Da Colle AND Barzel in the coming year.....geez, their offense just got a whole lot better. Kinda makes you wonder if Bailey or another under performing forward might be available at the trade deadline, huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluPuk Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Just an excellent game by both teams. Hope we get to do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted December 27, 2015 Author Share Posted December 27, 2015 @BluPuk It was close, could have gone either way, but the Americans deserved to win this battle. Not faulting the goalie, but getting Blackwood back will be a big moral up lift for this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
