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

[These Are The Days]

lol good GAWD King. You think Canada's triggered now? Wait til the Olympics. God help us if they don't medal.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Lol at people blaming Hart. Two goals were caused by total defensive lapses.

Hart was awesome and could steal this tournament.

 

[McDrai]

US only cares about playing Canada clearly
Looking forward to getting some revenge when it counts

 

[JT Kreider]

Honestly think Sweden will just run through either (or both?) of us anyway

 

[francis246]

Are you actually being serious? We lost the gold medal last year in a shootout. If they didn't think it was worth even looking at how our players perform in the shootout they should all be fired

I'm being serious, you really think he's going to memorize shootout percentages (for guys he doesn't even coach regularly) when he's trying to win in regulation? I'm sure he was playing to win. Also shootout percentages mean jack shit, it's all luck

 

[Goulet17]

Half the defense is the same as last year when they had to play Chabot every other shift because everyone else was getting run over.

Ducharme is not playing Makar, it must be in deference to his returning "favorites".

 

[Classicnamesup]

As usual these threads are better than the game. The difference is this game was outdoors and it was so bad that this thread is way, way better.

 

[Stephen]

This Canadian team sucks and the WJC hasn't been enjoyable to watch for years now. It's more and more just about TSN recycling the same storylines, selling us on how much Carter Hart has ice water in his veins like Carey Price, blah blah blah, meanwhile the Canadian system is just running out of elite talent. High end production, declining actual product. Not mad, just detached and disengaged.

 

[chaosrevolver]

Regardless of who won and lost..I hope this is the last of this gimmick at this tournament. Conditions killed the flow of the game throughout. Gimmick ended the gimmick game which I suppose is fitting

 

[Thebesthockey]

Plenty other goalie options and they come back with mr choke freeze in nets

 

[Tobias Kahun]

lol good GAWD King. You think Canada's triggered now? Wait til the Olympics. God help us if they don't medal.

You really think Canada is going to care when we are forced to send our D team?

This just makes it fair for other countries to have a chance at Gold, if we sent our best team it woulda been a cake walk like usual.

 

[Snippit]

It's gonna be:

Canada vs Switzerland
Finland vs Czech Republic

and

USA vs Russia
Sweden vs Slovakia

Canada should get into the finals comfortably.
USA will have to beat Russia, then Sweden, then Canada in order to win this tournament.

They can do it but the States really f***ed up by not beating Slovakia. Their road is now very difficult.

 

[WayneSid9987]

Comtois penalty was the turning point. Could've been a 5 too.
Then Ducharme sends out 2 or 3 guys where i heard "he's never had a penalty shot attempt this season or in their respective league."

Like prepare dude. Do your homework.

 

[Bixby Snyder]

This is especially sweet after all the Canadians talking shit after the USA's loss last night.

Your boys just got beat by a team that lost to Slovakia less than 24 hours ago after you took a 2 goal lead twice this game. Hows it feel now Canada?

 

[troyerlaw]

Comtois and Clague lost us this game.

Comtois hit was game changer for sure.

 

[Fledgemyhedge]

I find snow removal entertaining.

 

[El Travo]

This is especially sweet after all the Canadians talking **** after the USA's loss last night.

Sorry, game doesn't count.

 

[cupcrazyman]

i didn't expect Canada to go undefeated.

TSN and politics and especially hockey canada

 

[Classicnamesup]

lol good GAWD King. You think Canada's triggered now? Wait til the Olympics. God help us if they don't medal.

Curious what this will be like. I get amped up for the real Olympics but this bargain bin Spengler Cup just won't get me out of bed. Interested to see what it'll be like on here.

 

[eviohh26]

Game was dumb. Hope to see a real rematch.

You're making yourself look pretty bad here not sure if you realize that

 

[kk87]

lol good GAWD King. You think Canada's triggered now? Wait til the Olympics. God help us if they don't medal.

In men’s ice hockey? Doubt anyone in Canada will be watching, same goes for the States I’m sure

USA was the better team here but it’s tough to gauge off a game like this. Hope to see a rematch in the medal round

 

[Mats13]

ok you got me. To date that is my favourite shootout. Young Toews was awesome.

So correction, I hate when my team loses in the shootout. I do still prefer when games end 5 on 5. Absolutely love 5 on 5 OT in the finals.

Don't know how to embed on this new site, but here's a personal favourite of mine

 

[SackTastic]

Firstly, the US deserves a lot of credit, they never gave up and they earned this victory 100%.

Any complaints about the conditions are not relevant IMO, seeing as the US had to play under the same conditions.

That being said, Canada needs need to stop taking so many penalties. This seems to be an issue for the team every year. Lots of lazy, unnecessary penalties due to lack of discipline. They even got away with some stuff that could've been easily called a penalty.

Carter Hart wasn't a problem per se, but with how much TSN keeps worshiping him, you'd expect a better performance from him.

There it is. Definitely undisciplined, repeatedly.
