That and American born players.

Yep....thank god Foote is carrying us through this tourney

 

[trilobyte]

Not hard to tell the goal was good.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

I think there is excellent talent... just not generational...

Future Gretzky's playing Call of Duty instead.... ?

I wonder...

Future Gretzkys can't afford $15k per year to play high level hockey.

 

[Bixby Snyder]

Cal Foote from Colorado, why you guys need American boys on the team?

 

[Yarborough]

Another PP for Canada

 

[snipes]

Make them pay now.

 

[John Agar]

Counter Strike

My son has been a Counter Strike global moderator for years...

So yes... more likely...

Just showing my bias for Vid-games...

 

[y2kcanucks]

LOL, Canadians need refs to help them out.

No? We do expect the refs to award us a goal when the puck goes in the net though.

 

[Dominance]

Atta boy Comtois. Good defensive battle leads to drawn penalty.

 

[OregonCanuck]

Dive

 

[Sheppy]

Look like he sold that one pretty good to be honest.

Cal Foote from Colorado, why you guys need American boys on the team?

Same reason you guys "needed "Brett Hull, freedom of choice.

 

[Battle Lin]

these world junior refs fall for every embellishment so i guess keep doing it if you want a PP

 

[Merya]

Bad call

 

[Peiskos]

Just looked at the rankings, Canada barely has players ranked in the top10... just an odd weak year or is this a new trend, canada doesn't produce as good talent as they used to?

5 Canadians went in the top 10 of the 2017 NHL draft,
- Nolan Patrick 2nd,
- Cale Makar 4th,
- Cody Glass 6th,
- Michael Rasmussen 9th
- Owen Tippet 10th.

For arguments sake Gabe Vailardi went 11th.

This compared to 2 Swedes, 1 Finn and 1 Swiss and 1 American. Based on that Canada still appears to be producing more than everyone else. So I don't see your point.

 

[John Agar]

Future Gretzkys can't afford $15k per year to play high level hockey.

And... sadly you are right...

Another obstacle in Canada is just affording to play...

True...

 

[Farnham4top6]

If the refs can't be unbiased in game's with canada and usa, it's time to suspend them from international turnaments

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

It looked like Comtois was holding onto him before. Overzealous crosscheck but not alot he could do. Idk about that one.

The thing is, every time it’s not a Canadian #1 it’s a big deal. That’s changing as other countries get better. So the fact that the past few years we’ve only been dominating the draft instead of obliterating it is taken to mean that other countries are passing us

They are unbiased.

 

[Yarborough]

Yes, it’s time to suspend the refs. I feel like we should have no rules and that the players should self officiate.

That’s what you meant right?

 

[HaNotsri]

No goal

Goal.
Btw:
Robin Ross is a better name than Atticus Finch.

 

[nucks88]

Yup

 

[Urbanskog]

True...

It's an expensive sport everywhere, but Canada is the only top 6 country where the participation numbers are decreasing.

 

[y2kcanucks]

Scores!!!!!!
