Weaver truly is terrible

He's only still on the team because of his name, get rid of him and Tait next year

They should at least understand that O'Connor should be the #1 PP QB... Often they put Weaver out and he can't move because he's so slow lol

 

[3 Minute Minor]

Another big penalty by Hewitt lol what the hell is he doing on the ice during a PP.

 

[SoundAndFury]

GB horrible once again, absolutely terrible puck management.. I don't know how you guys find it acceptable.

 

[Siamese Dream]

What you are watching is the reason Doug Christiansen was fired by Sheffield Steelers

 

[3 Minute Minor]

I keep getting random advertisements talking over the feed but they aren't anywhere on my computer to close lol

 

[3 Minute Minor]

Hey Weaver, feel free to say something to the ref!


Colin Shields skates like he has ankle weights on lol

 

[3 Minute Minor]

Pathetic defense on a 2 on 1. Bad enough you give it up but D. Phillips goes after the shooter... come on.

 

[3 Minute Minor]

lol they watch the replay and still say it didn't go in.

It clearly hit the padding and immediately came out. Thank god they're commentators and not making the decisions lol

You're probably going to love the tweet I just sent to Aaron Murphy

he says "pitty patter lets get at er" at the start of every game so he clearly doesn't care about sounding ridiculous.

 

[Siamese Dream]

He's literally the worst commentator I've ever heard, I have no idea why they continue to employ this guy

I would honestly rather listen to Brent Pope

 

[SoundAndFury]

Is it just me or Bowns decided not to care about controlling the rebounds at the end of the game?

I wouldn't go that far but I find it hilarious when he confuses 6'3" Matt Myers for 5'8" Ben Davies and vice versa

just you

 

[3 Minute Minor]

Excellent coaching! 15 seconds left, they iced it, and he called a timeout?!? BRILLIANCE!!!

 

[3 Minute Minor]

Today they've said multiple times that Stephen Murphy isn't feeling well. Is that just a way to excuse his poor play so next year they can sit Bowns again? lol

Would have been nice for England (Who had a good hockey history back in the day) win this tournament but I guess they won't.

England won't win, because they aren't in it.

Also, no need for guesses since Poland has already won it. And, by the way, they have pretty good hockey history too

its only a matter who gets silver and who bronz

 

[SoundAndFury]

A bit of fireworks in Lithuania - Romania game, Pisarenko tried to take out Zubrus on the open ice and he really should have known better. Romania ends up with one player injured (I think seriously which is too bad), one thrown out of the game and 5 min PK.

Referees, however, got pretty much everything wrong

Overall, Lithuanians look really tired. No jump in the step whatsoever, sloppy giweaways. Even Armalis was fighting the puck pretty badly in the first.

Looks like South Korea is relegated and coming to 1B next season... if people want to see dual nat ringers, I expect Korea to continue adding more as we approach the 2018 Olympics.

GB playing for pride only against Poland then. Think we will be regretting not giving more of the young lads a chance in this tournament come next year when the ancient Weaver and Tait will hopefully, finally have been jettisoned.

What are the chances of us playing anyother games in that period? Do we never enter the European Challenge competition things?

Absolutely nil. EIHL teams don't want to let the players go and won't take the weekends off because they lose money. Technically they're not allowed by the IIHF to refuse to release players during international breaks but they have too much influence over IHUK who subsequently won't enter GB into tournaments.
