WJC: 2023 Team Canada Roster Talk Part 2

[canuck2010]

The term in Canada is faceoff or opening faceoff as in what time the game starts. We don't don't have dasher boards, half walls or jerseys either. It is a hockey sweater.

It hasn’t been a hockey sweater since the 70’s. lol

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

what time is kickoff?

 

[ORRFForever]

what time is kickoff?

11 minutes and counting.

*********************************************************************

Exhibition games are never a good indicator but it sure looks like Canada and the U.S. are the best and the brightest of 2023.

Ok, I'll let you get away with that one, just don't start calling it "Ice Hockey" lol.

Canada comes out on fire.

Dive !

That's a dirty knee

 

[SergeConstantin74]

That's a dirty knee

He didn't hit the knee.

 

[ORRFForever]

That's a dirty knee

We'll see how long before he comes back. Looked like nothing to my eyes.

He didn't hit the knee.

Yup.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

He didn't hit the knee.

He kneed him clearly. Extremely obvious.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

He kneed him clearly. Extremely obvious.

It was a knee. It wasn't dirty.

 

[SergeConstantin74]

He kneed him clearly. Extremely obvious.

What I meant is that he didn't hit Sykora's knee. It was Gaucher's knee on Sykora's hip. Sykora didn't help himself by trying to avoid the hit. Gaucher never changed position and it wasn't dirty.

 

[ORRFForever]

Nice sized crowd. Everyone looks like they are having fun.

Tis the season.

****

I am always worried Stankoven will get hurt.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Really sloppy PP.

 

[ORRFForever]

Really sloppy PP.

Sloppy game, period.

****

I have NEVER had a RedBull.

 

[Dominance]

Guenther & co. playing down to the competition when they should be dominating is just sad. I’m already sick of it. Sit them (and him in particular).

Like, he should be vying for best forward in the tournament. He looks like Desnoyers out there.

I think it is slightly early for this lol

No patience for players f***ing around. They rarely turn the switch when the actual tournament starts.

 

[ORRFForever]

Someone opened a thread for the game, boys.

I mean plenty of players have gotten better as the tournament goes on. Stankoven like 4 months ago is a pretty good example. It is definitely an over reaction.

Are you watching? Look at that drop pass to absolutely NOBODY. You cannot do that, ever. In this tournament we don’t have time for a guy who’s supposed to be a staple in our top-6 to stop f***ing around.

I am watching. You are over reacting lol

 

[JackSlater]

Guenther looks awful but it isn't some huge issue yet. This is the second pre-tournament game. Something to watch going forward and nothing else.

 

[PecnoTrunk]

Did you guys watch team USA ?? They built a fast team. Goon hockey is finished!! Everyone clambering about how big Canada is but if they can’t keep up to team USA they pretty much useless.
