GDT: 2020-21 IIHF WJC, Edmonton/Red Deer, Canada: 12/25/20 - 1/5/21

Canada’s team game is long on skill and short on cohesion. Gotta wonder what their Uncle Fester looking coach is telling these kids what to do.

 

[KrazyKings]

Less of a good play by Byfield. Got too cute trying to center the puck in the o-zone and gave it right to the Swiss.

He looked like a bum on that play and then proceeded to look very floaty on that entire shift. Has not looked good out there at all...

Yeah, it seems like the whole team isn’t fully clicking. It’s hard to say Canada has looked noticeably better as a team as the tournament has gone on (compared to the US, who has looked to make progress in team cohesion).

 

[Steve Zissou]

Bowen Byram looking so confident this tournament along with some good, physical defensive reads.

Colorado is set on the back end with him and Makar controlling the back end while eating a ton of minutes.

That was his only questionable play of the period. Other than that he’s been creating turnovers (through both speed and positioning), using his body effectively, and making smart, simple plays (such as his deft pass to Tomasino).

 

[Chazz Reinhold]

Solid deke and pass by Byfield at the blue line to lead to a goal.

 

[DAkings20]

Another assist for that bum

 

[Dykstra]

Promoted to a 5th rounder player.

2 assists and spending like 75% of his ice time in the o-zone. one bad shift in the first.

you guys are just concern trolling at this point

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Kings need to trade Byfield before everyone finds out he’s a bust.

These are the "criticisms" that ruin legit criticism to spark conversation.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Byfield’s line with a ton of pressure again, which creates a power play opportunity for Canada.

 

[King'sPawn]

Think Byfield got the touch on that for his third assist?

Think so, but if not he's a bust

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Byfield with his third assist of the game, but let’s harp on all the things he’s doing wrong.

You should read the main WJC thread.

"He has stone hands. He should have put it in himself."
"He almost lost control at entry."

 

[HookKing]

Byfield finally showing some confidence and making plays.

Apparently he’s being carried by his linemates. This place is a joke. So many experts on here.

There are about 425 players I would have taken over Byfield including my friend's brother Jimmy he was really good in our in-house league when I was like 14 trust me this Byfield kid sucks

The children on HFBoards are fickle.

 

[crassbonanza]

Byfield has looked so much better tonight, nice to see

 

[DAkings20]

That penalty was Byfield's fault. He won that faceoff, should of lost it.

Are those the same morons that think teams like Tampa Bay and St. Louis are cheaters because they have to put guys on LTIR and those players are faking it in order for their team to be cap compliant? Despite the fact that doctors and medical professionals are staking their reputation and say they can't clear those players to play. If so, those kinds of posters and comments are just pointless noise to me.

Tipped in front by Byfield!!! What a bum
