Ghostsof1915 Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Pretty sad when Mason Raymond the player and Steve K. the announcer were the only ones to show up for Canada. Big match tomorrow vs. the host Davos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Usually, guys with NHL experience on the Spengler Cup's team Canada are given leadership roles. Wouldn't be surprised if he was at least wearing an 'A'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DollarAndADream Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 A lot of names there I recognize. Raymond, Pouliot, Gormley, Ebbett, Flood, Fucale, Heshka, Morrisonn, Campbell, Colby Genoway, Jeffrey, and Spaling. Rest I don't know. Although, I'm not sure if I recognize them because of watching hockey or playing EA NHL games over the years. Probably a combination of both. Morrisonn was on the Capitals not long ago, and Pouliot on Edmonton, as well as Spaling on Pittsburgh and Campbell on Florida/Boston. Lost of recent NHLers.

Ghostsof1915 Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 What's the point of the Grey Cup, it's not like it's the Super Bowl? Or the Ryder Cup? It's all about perspective. Go to watch a game at Davos, you'll see crazy fans, lots of fun, and hockey. And guys playing with Canada on the jersey working their tails off.

Ghostsof1915 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Team Canada qualified for the semifinals on Thursday night with a convincing 5-1 victory over HK Mountfield. There the defending champions will face off against Dynamo Minsk on Friday afternoon. The Canadians set things straight early on. In the opening period they took advantage of two of their four power play opportunities. After no less than 259 seconds it was Andrew Ebbett who put the team from overseas ahead on the first power play. Maxim Noreau, the second “Bernese” on Team Canada, then increased the lead 19 seconds before the first intermission with a snipe from long range. Midway through the game Brandon Gormley made it 3-0 during 4-on-4 play. Shortly before the second intermission Mountfield’s captain Jaroslav Bednar put the Czechs on the board on the power play, thus avoiding the potentially first shutout of the current Spengler Cup tournament. Mason Raymond and Francis Pare added a goal apiece in the closing period to seal the walkover victory for the Canadians. In an absolutely fair game played in a harmless, non-aggressive way, the referees, due to the zero-tolerance interpretation of the rules, handed out 16 minor penalties – ten against Mountfield and six against Team Canada. In Friday afternoon’s semifinal there will now be a reunion of sorts. Dynamo Minsk and Team Canada already played each other in the first game of Group Cattini on December 26. The Belarusians handily took that matchup 7-4. Mountfield Kralove – Team Canada 1:5 (0:2, 1:1, 0:2) Attendance: 6012 – REF Wehrli/Wiegand, Kaderli/Obwegeser. Scoring: 5. Ebbett (Katic, Raymond/Penalty Planek) 0:1. 20. (19:41) Noreau (DiDomenico, Gormley/Penalty Lhotak) 0:2. 34. Gormley (Ebbett, Raymond) 0:3. 40. (39:20) Bednar (Gregorc/Penalty Gormley) 1:3. 43. Raymond (Flood, Ebbett/Penalty Dietz) 1:4. 44. Pare (Gormley) 1:5. Penalties: 10 minors against Mountfield Kralove, 6 minors against Team Canada. Mountfield Kralove: Kacetl; Planek, Cap; Gregorc, Dietz; Stajnoch, Newton; Pavlas, Ehrhardt; Cerveny, Dzerins, Simanek; Bednar, Kukumberg, Dej; Jarusek, Dragoun, Kohler; Lhotak, Knotek, Monnet. Team Canada: Fucale; Noreau, Gormley; Parlett, Morrisonn; Heshka, Katic; Flood; DiDomenico, Pouliot, Micflikier; Raymond, McIntyre, Ebbett; Pare, Sheppard, Campbell; Spaling, Emmerton, Colby Genoway; Jeffrey. Notes: Mountfield Kralove without Picard, Team Canada without Vukovic (both healthy scratches). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-AJ- Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Unless I'm mistaken, Canada is playing in the finals right now and up 4-1. Ebbett has scored. Also looks like Ebbett and Raymond are on a line together, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
