    World Cup of hockey

    IMO these lines are way off

    USA -725 Europe +375

    Canada -905 Czech +435

    Playing dogs, very good chance one upsets

    Better matchups tomorrow.

    USA has a decent team this time, I wouldn't bet against them. And Canada, well, it's Canada, each line is deep.

    Rocky, man, good to see you again

    Besides Russia vs Sweden game tomorrow, there is a very interesting matchup between Finland and North America U23.

    N. Americans are favorite to win this game - something tells me that the books got that one wrong.

    All's good, Rocky, hope all is well with you too. Finnish league has started, so not lots of those players are coming over here. Having said that, Finnish team is still looking pretty decent.

    Forwards:
    Sebastian Aho, Karpat (FIN); Aleksander Barkov, Florida Panthers; Joonas Donskoi, San Jose Sharks; Valtteri Filppula, Tampa Bay Lightning; Mikael Granlund, Minnesota Wild; Erik Haula, Minnesota Wild; Jussi Jokinen, Florida Panthers; Mikko Koivu, Minnesota Wild; Leo Komarov, Toronto Maple Leafs; Lauri Korpikoski, Edmonton Oilers; Patrik Laine, Tampere (FIN); Jori Lehtera, St. Louis Blues; Teuvo Teravainen, Chicago Blackhawks
    Defensemen:
    Jyrki Jokipakka, Calgary Flames; Sami Lepisto, Salavat Yulaev Ufa (KHL); Esa Lindell, Dallas Stars; Olli Maatta, Pittsburgh Penguins; Ville Pokka, Chicago Blackhawks;Rasmus Ristolainen, Buffalo Sabres; Sami Vatanen, Anaheim Ducks
    Goalies:
    Mikko Koskinen, SKA St. Petersburg (KHL); Tuukka Rask, Boston Bruins; Pekka Rinne, Nashville Predators

    I'm surprised SKA has given up so many players for this tournament. 3 on team Russia, 1 on team Finland

    This team has so much speed. They will be fun to watch. I hopnestly think they have a solid shot at making the finals.

    Yeah I think a lot of countries are excited to have this tournament back, so SKA had very little choice, but to let these players go to represent their national teams.
    And like you said, even though Finns are missing some key players, they're still pretty stacked. I personally think, that they will simply over power these under 23 youngsters.

    Pavelski is sucking and blowing in this game, Kane is playing very well but has no help. Quick is also sucking and blowing, Bishop should replace him.

    Pavelsky might not done much to this point, but it was Kane who was on the ice for 2 out of 3 goals

    Pavs is +/-0 while Kane is -2...those constant odd man rushes for team Europe in the 1st frame was hard to watch

    The odds on some of these are a joke...Team Europe 50-1 to win the whole thing...
    Huge odds vs USA...when really its a coin flip like NHL games...

    Canada has home ice and refs but they can easily lose in one game elimination.

    USA is not even that good on paper....they are basically out now....plus shittiest coach ever

    i might take Russia (140) and the draw in regulation (325) tomorrow, will win as long as Sweden doesn't win in regulation.

    NFL looks boring.

    They're pretty well all top NHL players. This is a tournament put on by the NHL. Hence, why they have Team Europe and Team North America, instead of filling the tournament with countries that don't have many NHL players (Belarus, Germany, Switzerland etc)

    Russia should win over Sweden if their defense doesn't crap out, Sweden's offense has been severely downgraded because of injuries.
