[GT] WJC: Preliminary Round Day 4. DEN vs CZE. RUS vs USA. FIN vs SWE. LAT vs CAN.

[sureLoss]

4 games. All 5 Flames prospects in action today.

The most interesting game will likely be USA vs Russia. USA has only faced the two weakest teams in Group B so far. Russia will be their first true test in the tourney and the game will definitely play a role in the seedings for the medal rounds.

Sweden vs Finland is usually a classic matchup. However, Finland has gone winless in their first 2 games and have disappointed so far as the defending gold medalists.

Canada has a pretty much guaranteed win against Latvia. Would need to be an epic game for the Latvians to get the W.

Russia vs USA - 1pm TSN1
Flames prospects:
Russia #19 Pavel Karnaukhov
USA #8 Adam Fox

Parsons confirmed starter for USA.

[Samonadreau]

They should have had the Denmark Czech game on tsn 2. Good game but I want me some US/Russia

[Samonadreau]

Danes win. 2nd in the pool good for them

[GranteedEV]

Wowww Keller. Sucks that he is a Coyotes prospect.

Ya but I take Tkachuk over him any day

[GranteedEV]

Parsons had zero chance on that.

[Samonadreau]

Shorty for Russia. 1-1. Tough one for Parsons, no chance.

[CroFlames]

That was a crazy goal by Russia to level up. The kid swatted a puck from mid air on a short handed 2 on 1.

I find myself cheering for the Russians in this game.

[Bear]

USA vs the Ruskies is looking like being a great game if anyone is on th fence about tuning in. End to end stuff and quite chippy already.

[Bear]

Karnaukhov plays a physical game!

[The Professor]

Greenway looks amazing too.

[CroFlames]

The Danish celebrations in the room are awesome.

Euro people know how to have fun at hockey games.

[sureLoss]

Looks like the Wild got a steal with Kaprizov

Taken one spot before Karnaukhov

[TheIronMaiden]

The Russian's are a playing selfish game. They need some team work.

[GranteedEV]

Parsons is going full God mode to try to get USA's first win over Russia in six tries. Might be our best prospect, period.

[Ashasx]

lol @ the Russian knocking the net off there. So obvious.

[sureLoss]

Haha Russia gives up a penalty shot for intentionally knocking off the net.
