What is that person doing with their arm up along the boards?

USA-Canada always delivers in World Juniors. Even in these terrible conditions. Really fun game even people here complain about it.

 

[4thlineduster]

Is it just me or do Canadian forwards look like they aren't even trying this period?

 

[troyerlaw]

I don’t understand the complaining about the outdoor game and conditions overall. It’s a lasting memory for these kids to be playing outside like this. It’s also been extremely entertaining IMO

I can’t see the puck. Or the blue line.

 

[Barrie22]

No you are thinking of sticks getting broken.

Its the same rule. Breaking/knocking a stick out of a players hand is a penalty. Has been in every league for 30+ years (as far back as i can remember hockey)

 

[Korpse]

You can't place the blame on the defenseman and excuse Comtois here. He saw a defenseman in a vulnerable position, and he shoved him face first into the boards. It was stupid and unnecessary.

I don't think Lindgren played it particularly smart, but Comtois saw numbers the entire time. If we're dishing out responsibility, it's still 90% on Comtois.

And he let up, its not like he was going full speed and put him into the boards with his shoulder.

As a forward, you're taught to wrap the guy and ride him into the boards, not shove him from three feet out. Dirty play, deserved five and a game.

Not always, if you have support, yes. If you are trying to win the puck battle as the lone forechecker, you aren't going to wrap up the defensemen, you are going to take him into the boards. It's not like Comtois tired to put him through the boards.

I like how US players carry the puck with confidence. They got some good young players there


Canadian players just get the puck, dump it and hope for the best

 

[Muston Atthews]

If this goes 3v3 it won’t laat long

 

[Petrus]

Canada needs to just skate and forecheck like they did in the 1st two periods.

 

[GlassesJacketShirt]

Always feels like there's one really talented player every team seems unwilling to use to their fullest extent. For Canada, it seems to be Makar.

 

[SladeWilson23]

Nope.

Shots don't always tell the story.

In this case it does.

 

[Sojourn]

Dmen watched and saw tackle incoming turned his back like little *****. You deserve what you get from that tackle.

You're classy.

 

[Cellee]

If Brady wants to play the style he thinks he wants to, best be learning how to stay up on yer feet.

 

[sandysan]

Looks like the most talented team in the tournament just showed up. Bad news Canada.

I though you couldn't tell which team was better? Funny how those concerns dissapear when one team ties it up,isnt it?

 

[IDuck]

What is that person doing with their arm up along the boards?

thats what i have been trying to figure out, the only thing i can think of is a mic?

 

[Hogan86]

SUCK IT CANADA!

We beat Slovakia...

 

[ManWithNoName]

Carter Hart just highsticked his own guy lol

Should've been a penalty for high sticking. Bad refs.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Its the same rule. Breaking/knocking a stick out of a players hand is a penalty. Has been in every league for 30+ years (as far back as i can remember hockey)

Not called the same.

 

[Machinehead]

Is it just me or do Canadian forwards look like they aren't even trying this period?

It's 18 degrees and they're skating in snow. This is absurdly tiring.

 

[Sojourn]

And he let up, its not like he was going full speed and put him into the boards with his shoulder.

So it wasn't as bad as it could have been.

That doesn't mean it isn't bad. I'm not sure what you're arguing here. It could have been worse?

 

[jj cale]

U.S winning most of the little battles now................frustrating.

Need to compete harder.

 

[Muston Atthews]

Canada was doing that to start the game

 

[SladeWilson23]

With all the power plays the American's had, it would seem that way. But in reality. Canada outplayed the US the 1st and 2nd.

Not true. US was all over Canada.

 

[Baxterman]

If it goes to OT then that basically seals 1st for Canada right?

 

[canwincup]

This game needs more Makar
