Huge surprise in the works for Canada’s game in Montreal and the crowd's going to go wild
For the 4 nations Face-Off opener tonight at the Bell Center:
There are reports of a huge surprise coming during the pre game of Team Canada’s opener against Team Sweden at the 4 Nations Face-Off tournament in Montreal.
According to insider Frank Seravalli, there are a lot of hockey legends floating around Montreal this week, and he believes it is for a special ceremonial puck drop ahead of tonight’s game.
“Can you imagine the spine-tingling roar inside Bell Centre if Le Magnifique, Mario Lemieux, is introduced at center ice?”
It would indeed be insane if Pittsburgh Penguins legend Mario Lemieux, a Montreal native, is present for puck drop ahead of Canada’s first contest of the Tournament.
I guess we will find out later tonight as the game is scheduled to start at 8.
I cannot wait to see what they have in store for the fans.
For now, here is Team Canada's projected lineup for the game vs. Sweden:
Reinhart - McDavid - Marner
Stone - Crosby - MacKinnon
Marchand - Point - Jarvis
Hagel - Konecny - Cirelli
Bennett
Toews - Makar
Morrissey - Parayko
Theodore - Doughty
Sanheim
Binnington
Hill
