Canucks1219 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I think it will be a goaltender-duel. They are far less potent offensively but their goalie has been great. I never predict scores for championship games so I'll leave that to everyone else, haha. EDIT: By the way, Groulx post-game was highly complimentary of the second line (w/Petan) so I think we'll see things start like this: Domi - Reinhart - Duclair Petan - McDavid - Lazar Crouse - Paul - Virtanen Ritchie - Gauthier - Point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BanTSN Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Felt Sweden matched Russia physically, but Russia played a far smarter game and out-worked them. Compared to the other elimination games, this is not going to be a walk for Canada at all. Maybe the easier run means Canada is more rested for this final test? Hopefully. Hopefully Canada's coaching has a decent game plan in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HerrDrFunk Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Couldn't be a more dramatic gold medal match up if they had scripted it to go this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drdeath Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Need a much better start than they had against Slovakia. Also need to hit the Russians at every opportunity. I'm looking for Morrisey to annihilate someone early so all of the Russians hear footsteps the rest of the game. Godla's amazing game today will serve as great practice for the Canadians because it could be another game we dominate everywhere but the scoreboard for a while. Just keep calm and keep shooting.

Lychees Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 This is gonna be a hard fought game, Canada will need to put forth a better showing in the first period if they hope to weather the Russian storm that's gonna happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RRypien37 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Really don't think Russia has a great team this year and has had a couple games handed to them. Had to beat DENMARK in a shoot out. Lost to Sweden. Lost to the CZECHS 4-1 (Czechs only other win was with Denmark in OT...) Had 8 PP against Murica and still got out shot 41-25 BARELY hanging on all 3rd period. Muricans were really shafted against the Refs with non-calls for them too. The only good game I could say Russia had was the one today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we play the way we have throughout the tourney we'll cruise to gold. We've lost to these guys four years in a row. Time to get some more vengeance!!

TheAntar Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I just hope Russia stops getting the darling reffing they had in their last two. It's like you aren't allowed to take the puck from Russian players. Hopefully that's over now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
