00:00like you know but this is this is where i'm going with this is this is not a good matchup
00:05for finland
00:06against canada i know people are going to think oh well you would have saw czech republic and this
00:11and they gave canada all they can handle playing defense and yeah you know what canada kind of
00:16dominated the czech republic right they'll style the goalie of the anaheim ducks just was awesome
00:22and not and saros is good saros is hit or miss right i'm not a big saros guy
00:29nashville predator goalie he can't what he's what he's on he's on though but he's very hit or miss
00:34he's smaller i think team canada are going to get to him and the thing is with the fins
00:41the fins sort of play like canadian style hockey like you know i mean like they like you know the
00:48canadian textbook like 101 hockey book type thing yeah we're gonna forecheck we're gonna get a bang
00:54you against the boards we're not gonna give you any space like the fins play really fundamental
01:00sound hockey yet it's sort of like you see this in college sports a lot where it's like you know
01:07you do the same thing you do the same thing that the your opponent does but you don't have the
01:13talent
01:14that the other team does i just sort of think like finland they're gonna work their ass off and stuff
01:19but
01:19these games are close and i kept going kind of going back to like 4-2 canada here i'm like
01:27you
01:27know can i you know i do believe canada is gonna win and i've had like my reservations and fear
01:33i do
01:33think that the the usa game could be a real problem for canada suddenly right the usa are flying around
01:40right now canada lost sydney crosby but you know part of me keeps coming back to like canada beats
01:48finland 4-2 total is five and a half yet it is going to be a slugfest right like this
01:56is going
01:56to be a defensive grind this game uh against the fin so the total is five and a half i
02:02can understand
02:02not loving you know you know you bet that i don't think it's going to get to seven or eight
02:06so if it
02:06gets to over five and a half it'll be because it gets to six with an empty net goal or
02:11something
02:12uh but i do think canada are going to beat uh finland now as far as usa and slovakia is
02:18concerned
02:19let's tip our cap to the slovakians man right they won a bronze medal three uh in the olympics
02:25four years ago they finished in third place they actually beat the u.s it wasn't nhl players there
02:30but slavkowski was there and it's kind of what made him into the number one pick in the in the
02:35nhl draft
02:36and he's turned the corner he's really becoming a big time power forward he's a big dude this dude
02:42for the munchal canadians he's having a good year and it's carried over he's one of these dudes that
02:47like you see them basketball sometimes right like like oh dennis schruder is a good example like
02:52like dennis schruder in the nba is dennis schruder dennis schruder on germany and international play
02:59he starts scoring 37 points and stuff i'm telling you it's like it's like he puts a cape on
03:04jordan bennington the team canada the st louis blues man this guy couldn't stop a drunk guy
03:10at intermission during a contest um when he's you know i mean like his goals like he's terrible with
03:16the st louis blues he really is and you put him on team canada you put a red jersey on
03:23this guy and
03:24he turns into like clark kent and ken dryden combined saying hey look at me i'm superman i'm gonna stop
03:29everything right it's bizarro world international play does you know different things for different
03:35people and the slovakians really like dig in man and it's not like oh yeah i know a lot of
03:41americans
03:42are probably thinking oh yeah you look we're minus 850 favorites dude they just look
03:46you
