Team Canada defenceman Cale Makar missed Saturday’s 3-1 loss to the United States with an illness, but says he’s ‘going to do everything’ he can to try and be ready to face Finland on Monday. Is there any update on Makar’s health? Which goaltender will Canada choose to start in their third game? TSN’s Claire Hanna joins SC with Jay Onrait to discuss.

Lost a game, must win game, and hardly anyone at optional skate?
Finland with an upset win
Canada will beat the Finns
We got this Canada!
ADIN HILL! we didn't see Canada's best goalie either!
Please put in hill as the goalie against Finland
So you don't know anything….
Makar has no pride, dude does not want to play not sure why he even show up
SOFT
Absolutely no national pride from Cale. This is bigger than some stupid regular season game for the Colorado Avalanche.
Edit: Nevermind
Makar has to suck it up and stop being such a wussy. Illness? Woooo, who does'nt play because of that? this is too important for canada. usa vs. canada part 2, gotta play makar, suck it up.
Makar doesn't want to play. It has nothing to do with illness. He doesn't want to get hurt. Zero pride.
Guys have been willing to get punched in the head for a chance to win this tournament, and Makar sounds like he’d rather not bother playing at all.
Wow! This 4 Nations tournament (unfortunately without Russia and Czechia) is proving to be much more exciting than I thought! Go, Canada, Go! Let's silence the Americans lol.
Any update on Hughes??
Umm … Michael Jordan had the FLU and played when they needed him
if canada loses this game.. yeah its like okay, sure. but.. it cant happen when the road is so clear going forward. win in regulation, and you will get game 2 against the US.
In fairness to Makar, he's on a contract year. His career depends on how well he plays of the avalanche this season
Dam, Makar probably should have abdicated. Really want him to play. We could use Bouchard on the power play.
Hockey Canada doesn't pay Cale's bills. I wouldn't read too much into this. Dude had the flu, in reality, let him rest if Cooper thinks Canada can get the Regulation win without him. The gap last game was 1 bad goal against and Canada inablity to break thru USA Defence fortress.
Logan Thompson got robbed in this tournament.
People saying Makar has no pride can suck it. He's not going to risk getting injured and not helping the team who pays his wages to support him and his family over some exhibition matches that mean nothing, when this is over nobody will care but if Makar gets injured for the rest of the season that would definitely matter for his team. Besides he most likely doesn't want to see Trudeau's stupid face in the stands LOL.
Why is marner even playing. That fool wasnt anywhere to be seen against the Americans. Tom wilson should have been selected in his replacement
