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

[TimeZone]

Regardless who wins this first outdoor Under 20 game, it'll be the last outdoor game.

We can only hope...

 

[Sojourn]

Seriously?!?!? They blow the ice dead half way through when we've got dangerous possession. The organization of this whole game is crazy bush league.

They have to. It wouldn't have mattered where the puck was, or who had it.

 

[TLEH]

People act as if both teams aren't playing outside. Its a dumb concept. It hurts both teams and the product. Stop with the outdoor stuff.

Probably not, they just showed a new attendance record for a WJ game. Obviously because it's outdoors but it's really all they care about. Soon the entire tourny will be outdoors

[SI90]

The lack of flow of this game is nauseating

 

[Loffer]

One fluttering saucer there...

 

[Territory]

Trying to picture what a shootout will look like in this game.

 

[SI90]

I am glad it's an OT game either way. Not a good representation of these guys for either team.

Agreed.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

2 minutes of game. SWITCH SIDES!! 10 minutes of ice fixing...

 

[RipsADrive]

Just imagine how bad a shootout could potentially be.

Think anyone will try to deke?

 

[Kairi Zaide]

They have to. It wouldn't have mattered where the puck was, or who had it.

He is arguing about how dumb that "rule" is I'd say...

 

[Machinehead]

Now he's singing along to Ozzy

 

[Canes]

One fluttering saucer there...

But Ryan Murphy 2.0 would have easily scored on that pass, even though he's a righty.

Midway through a shot switch sides.

 

[Leafs27]

Just call it. Flip a goddamn coin at this point. What a show...

 

[Captain Bowie]

Just got home. Have the conditions eased up for OT? Doesn't seem to bad snow-wise.

That low angle is weird as hell though, makes the rink seem super narrow.

Yes, Mittelstadt. These conditions don't affect his hands lol

 

[SI90]

2 min warning. This isn’t hockey. It’s football

 

[Sojourn]

It's dumb to have the game outside period.

If you're going to promote fairness for both sides, it's actually pretty necessary. You don't want one team having an advantage of a favorable side.

 

[Crosstraffic]

2 1/2 minutes of play, 10 minutes of ice scraping.

 

[North Cole]

Who said majority? I mentioned earlier that I pointed it out because nobody was talking about them at all.

Support is a thing for a reason. Players make mistakes. If the support that should be there isn't there, it should be called out for not being there. I know topics like that aren't big on HF, but it doesn't mean they aren't important.

If a kid I coached blew off that criticism, I'd bench his ass. Play the team game, or don't play at all.

I went back and realise I misread your post. I thought you said "should be drawing more ire than him"... you said more ire than none. I originally thought you wanted them to take more blame. Which is why I said majority. Yes, I agree they should take blame, I believe mete should take more.

As to your coaching, I'm sure you can bench whoever you want. Obviously by shrug it off, I mean "yes, coach, sorry coach", and then back to the game. Players shrug stuff off all the time. Make a mental note and move on

 

[Stubu]

If you hate watching this, you can try duck taping the TV so you see only the score bar. Hope this helped.

They had 2 mins of OT then blew play dead and have been fixing the ice for 5 +mins.

 

[Leon Draisaitl]

very exciting OT........
