GDT: 2018 WJC • Game 12 • Group A: CAN (3) - USA (4) F/SO

[Kovalev27]

Can’t enjoy the game because the angle is so bad you can’t even see shots get to the net if they are more than 5 feet out. This is unwatchable. Unfortunately that’s the story here today. Unacceptable

 

[Muston Atthews]

It's so awesome that this crap is going to decide 1st in the group.

At least it shows the IIHF cares nothing for hockey and only cares about money.

1st was decided when USA lost to Slovakia

What does Makar have to do to get regular shift? He's been the best defenseman all tournament for Canada IMO.

Mete has been better imo but Makar definitely is probably the other that has stood out

 

[VeteranNetPresence]

Such a shame a great matchup has to be spoiled by this stupid gimmick.

Hockey players: "Yeah man this takes me back to my roots paying pond hockey!"

Also hockey players: *can't skate outside*

They should have did this Mystery Alaska style.

 

[SackTastic]

Snow doesn't stick to your cage though. I'd go cage.

No, it doesn't. But for me, it would be a bigger distraction to have flakes hitting me in the eyes at random times. I'd rather deal with a little accumulation during a shift and then wipe off, which I'd be doing anyways,.

I am loving it, fun game so far.

Cameras afraid to pan over the crowd here. Seeing bunches of empty seats in the lower bowl, and it's snowing like heck. Should have held this one indoors, looks like.

 

[OilerPensfan97]

Unlikely. I mean they lost to to Slovaks indoors and didn't gripe, sooo...

I don't think you'll see that much considering yesterday.

Yeah, I suppose you guys are right, considering yesterday's game.

 

[jj cale]

Canadian p.p incoming, lets go boys!!

 

[Chainshot]

Classic conditions -- no snow until late afternoon. Did no one from IIHF talk to anyone in Buffalo who has ever gone to that stadium about what the weather is like there in late December?

 

[KalmarKnights]

How about letting sports be sports, this is just a blatant money grab.

 

[Novak Djokovic]

Canada just needs to shoot the puck. No fancy passes.

 

[Bixby Snyder]

This game should not count, it's not fair to play the game in these conditions.

 

[Canada Drai]

lol that dude just lost his life, misses the puck then his stick disappears, then takes a dumb penalty.

 

[SI90]

2 dumb penalties. Have to be smarter.

 

[BigBadBoar]

The snow is an absolute game spoiler. Shame they allowed this gimmick to take place.

 

[jj cale]

I am loving it, fun game so far.

I agree, so far the game itself has been good.

 

[Critical13]

HACK THE BONE

 

[SackTastic]

Most would rather it be at a normal arena so the game could be the best quality possible

It's the prelim round. The real hockey starts in the QF anyways.

 

[DropIt]

What a stupid play

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Canada just needs to shoot the puck. No fancy passes.

applies to both teams

 

[sandysan]

Pp for holding the stick!

 

[Petrus]

Snow doesn't stick to your cage though. I'd go cage.

You just get ice build up near the bottom on the cage from breathing. But agree cage would likely be better for this condition.

 

[Reddwit]

Might not even watch this whole game. I watch enough hockey played on bad ice when I watch the Wings play on that shitty new ice at the LCA.
