Any thoughts on Belarus +3.5?

[saint]

I agree with what Mr. said in his post that +3.5 for Belarus is appealing with Canada's recent play.

Any other thoughts? How bad (or good) is Belarus? I didn't get a chance to see the upset they pulled.

I'm just not sure, I've been waiting for Canada to bust out of their funk and it might be against Belarus.

Anyone else like Bel. in this spot?

Goalies for Belarus
Sergei Shabanov
Andrei Mezin
Leonid Fatikov

Are any of these guys even in the NHL?
If it was at least a backup goalie from NHL, I'd be pounding +3.5 but I just dunno.

Things against Belarus
-letdown
-on paper this looks like an AHL team versus NHL Allstars

Canada hasnt blown anyone out but their play is improving and I have to think that the Canadian women's win last nite is going to inspire these guys even more.

The score in the Finland game could easily been 4-2 or 5-2 with those shots off the crossbar/post.

Being Canadian, I may be biased but this is a hard call. I'll be taking off with boss at 1:30 to sit in bar for late lunch and watch this game. I AM CANADIAN

Wouldn't it be nice if it was Canada vs USA final and we beat the americans in that game as well?

Belarus is not a good team, they have been blown out by everyone they have played with the exception of russia 6-4 and they gave up a late cheap goal. They beat Sweden only because their goalie played the game of his life. I don't see this happening again, I'll take the better team, Canada 6-1 final.
