Good article.

You're right, that was a good one. I liked Parros' quotes

Canada
USA
Sweden

All 3 teams are deep top to bottom. Canada's biggest issue is goaltending.

Ya the swedes got a solid NHL line up lol. Sedin twins and some Detroit players; Zett, Franzen, Alfredson. Haglin is a good player. Backstrom. King Lundy in net. Should be a solid team.

Jeez... Karlsson, Kronwall, Ekkman-Larsson on defense. This team has got some ringers for sure

Steen too!! Killin it this year!

Big ice will favor the international players as well. Look for the U.S. and team Canada to struggle.

Plenty of guys from KHL who can step up...NHL players represent a very small fraction of Russian team

Just a joke. Avalanche 5 on 3 and don't get a sniff. The worst team in the West goes 5 on 3, 2 PP goals. Last game of the night strikes again...

I stopped watching after the 4th goal.

**El Nino** · 12-06-13, 01:18 AM

0-1-1 -3.25u

YTD
47-46-1 +0.72u

Early lean on the Red Wings and the Flames. Think the price will improve for both. The Flames move the puck well and Ramo has looked good lately.

I actually watch the KHL sometimes. Some of those teams can play man! No doubt about your statement. Plenty of hockey talent in russia

Can't wait for Sochi!!

Flames? Nice... Jean-Sebastian Giguere in net for Av's. Not sure if I have the balls to take the Flames for three straight wins against good teams. Kings, Yotes, and now Avs? I might stay away from that myself but good luck Nino!

How bout the Wild? Bobrovsky out... Wild need points before they go on this tough stretch facing Shark twice and Ducks, Pens, Av's... Wild are aggressive around net and will challenge McEhinnley and force him to make some saves. Panthers fan (unfortunately) but I've been a Wild backer this year and it has paid off, but it also has been fun rooting for them, so I'm not sure if its just wishful thinking that they get pts before this tough stretch, or if they'll come out to play against a team they should beat to get pts they need. Thoughts?

Also thinking under because... well it's the Wild... and Jackets just hosted a shutout a few days ago... not sure with McEhinnley in net though

**CatHawk** · 12-06-13, 12:02 PM

**Backstrom likely in net

Backstroke has been shaky in net...but I'll still take Wild in this matchup
