AriGold Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Finland and Sweden both have Sebastian Aho... Interesting.. Canada wins 6-2, game gets feisty with the Finns not winning a game yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Marchand Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Think the Ritchie-McDavid-Lazar line will be split up for next game. McJesus finished last game with Fabbri and Virtanen. Not sure about the rest of the lines apart from the #1 unit. Crouse, Lazar and Petan also finished the game together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarGirl Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Hope to see McDavid with Virtanen again. It'll be way more interesting to see a lot of speed and skill on one line. Also, could focus on Virtanen more if he gets promoted with more ice-time. Go Canada Go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking mama Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Virtanen with dual citizenship,...as a Canadian-Finn,..will show-up and give everyone something to cheer about. I'm starting to feel a little sorry for the Finns. I think they'll lose another one here, but that's okay - they're really prepping for next year,... when Helsinki hosts the tournament.

Piggy Bank Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 With Duclair out, expect something like: Domi - Reinhart - Lazar Fabbri - McDavid - Virtanen Petan - Paul - Crouse Ritchie - Gauthier - Point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plum Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 PK has been great, I don't think we've let in a goal on the penalty kill. Duclair is playing, he didn't get suspended just a 10 minute penalty. Think the Ritchie-McDavid-Lazar line will be split up for next game. McJesus finished last game with Fabbri and Virtanen. Not sure about the rest of the lines apart from the #1 unit. Crouse, Lazar and Petan also finished the game together. Yeah I hope so. But I don't know if Ritchie is on that line for "protection of McDavid" like McSorley with Gretzky. Obviously Ritchie has skill but I think he's there for his size and physicality because I could think of more skilled players to put there like Fabbri, Petan, Virtanen.

Canucks1219 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Think the Ritchie-McDavid-Lazar line will be split up for next game. McJesus finished last game with Fabbri and Virtanen. Not sure about the rest of the lines apart from the #1 unit. Crouse, Lazar and Petan also finished the game together. I'd hope so. I mean, sure it was a small sample size, but that Fabbri-McDavid-Virtanen line looked better in half a period than the original 2nd line in any of their games together. McDavid looked more comfortable with speedy wingers, Fabbri is one of those talented players that can fit anywhere, and Virtanen didn't get bogged down by slower linemates. Balance is important, for sure, but that line just looked so damn good to finish the game. I mean, I don't know if they've played together before but McDavid and Virtanen seemed to have chemistry already. Fabbri has played with McDavid before so there's chemistry there, too. Lazar and Ritchie didn't look "bad" but it seemed like they were a step behind McDavid out there. That being said, my Canucks-complex tells me that nothing good will happen to us and so Virtanen will start the game with Crouse and Gauthier. *puts down homer goggles* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kazin! Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Virtanen with dual citizenship,...as a Canadian-Finn,..will show-up and give everyone something to cheer about.

Pears Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I just hope we'll be ready. Finland's gonna come out pissed off after starting with two losses. 5-2 Canada Virtanen x2 McJesus Domi Morrissey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Langdon Algur Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I though Fabri and Virt where playing with McDavid now? Really hope Ritchie has finally been moved off that line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Marchand Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Wait... Duclair wasn't suspended was he? Don't believe so. His 10 minute penalty last game was a misconduct and not a game misconduct. Golyshev was suspended for a hit he made yesterday so if they were going to suspend Duclair it probably would have happened already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
