World Cup of Hockey is here.

Reno - I like Finland +1.5 -142 to win $250 - I think RASK will get the start. Swedens offense does not scare me like the NA's also played the U5 -125 to win $250, b/c Swedens Defense does scare me. How lazy is pinnacle they hung a 6.5 -295 on the under in the Finland game and 6.5-270 on the Under in the USA game.

Carey price has had 4 straight shut out games in International Hockey - Good BC kid!

Sheer and straight out Bad Fucking Luck. No other description for such that is even remotely valid, Fin +1.5 bettors absolutely made the right call, foreseeing the tight effing game that was.

Team USA adds skill for showdown with Team Canada

Defenseman Dustin Byfuglien, forward Kyle Palmieri to make World Cup debuts

TORONTO -- Team USA will insert skill into the lineup against Team Canada on Tuesday in its must-win preliminary-round game at the World Cup of Hockey 2016.

Forward Kyle Palmieri and defenseman Dustin Byfuglien will play against Team Canada (8 p.m. ET; ESPN, SN, TVA Sports) after being scratched in a 3-0 loss to Team Europe on Saturday, coach John Tortorella said.

Forward Brandon Dubinsky, defenseman Jack Johnson and goaltender Cory Schneider will be scratched.

Last season Palmieri scored 30 goals for the New Jersey Devils and Byfuglien was the highest-scoring United States-born defenseman in the NHL with 53 points. Each will play on the power play. Team USA went 0-for-4 on the man-advantage against Team Europe and 1-for-11 in three pretournament games.

"I think our team needs a little spark, and hopefully I can go in there tonight and provide that, whether that be a goal, maybe a big hit, just a big play to get our team going tonight and get ourselves into it and just go from there," Palmieri said.

Dubinsky and Johnson are surprising scratches in the sense that Team USA put them on the roster as part of its hard-to-play-against identity, intended largely to beat Team Canada. Dubinsky often matches up against Team Canada captain Sidney Crosby in the NHL. Johnson is a physical presence in the defensive zone.

"It kills me to take [Dubinsky] out because of how he competes," Tortorella said. "He was killing penalties pretty good for us. We just kind of went on the side, we wanted to put a goal-scorer in in Kyle. I can move him up and down the lineup. …

"Jack Johnson too. Jack Johnson is a good player, a good player underneath the hash marks. But we just felt we were going to go with these six bringing [Byfuglien] in."


Byfuglien has a booming shot from the point. He also can play forward. Tortorella has said he will be quick to shorten his bench and adjust his approach within the game.


"We hope he scores a power-play goal," Tortorella said. "We'll have him on the power play. He gives me a couple options to use him on the back end or up front. Yeah, so he obviously was disappointed he didn't play the first game. I think he's really going to try to make a difference tonight. He needs to stay disciplined but also not test the waters."


Palmieri and Byfuglien might help. But players like Patrick Kane, Joe Pavelski, T.J. Oshie, Zach Parise and Max Pacioretty need to play better than they did against Team Europe, regardless of the changes.


"Bottom line is we have some good players on our team, some people that can score," Tortorella said. "Even though changing the lineup here, the guys that are going to need to score for us have been in our lineup, and I expect a big game out of them tonight."

Dubinsky on the ice to square off vs Sidney Crosby would have been nice for that UN 1.5 First Period Play. Really Really +EV for THAT lol.....

I will be without that though.

 

[powerz]

Pinny offered USA +2.5 -214 so I bought it
I also bought Over 6,5 +157 - That number has come down alot today


Enjoy the game! should be a blast!

Well that didn't take long

"Team USA enduring a shutout streak in international tournaments. Dating back to Sochi, Team USA had not scored a goal in their last nine periods of international hockey. Their scoreless streak runs 197 minutes and 59 seconds, dating back to Phil Kessel's third-period goal in a 5-1 win over the Czech Republic in the 2014 Olympic quarterfinal.

so they score at 15:38 of the first....

Now Canada comes right back with TWO GOALS!!!


Ugggh....

 

[ML Dog]

What an INSANE START.

 

[ML Dog]

I'm like......WTF??!!??
