Button also said in late November/early December that Team USA wasn't very good and won't medal. Now, they are uber talented and our main rival in the GMG. I mean, I think he finally got it right re: the Americans, but Button has always been a something of a clown.
Button is trying his best but, yes, I noticed the same thing, too.

The US media promote any US team even if they are garbage. Of course TSN is going to gush over Team Canada. They are viewer driven!!!! Even if TC was crap they have to convince viewers they are worth watching.
Well said.
 
This team is legitimately bad. Has to be on coaching, there's no way that every great player on this roster suddenly forgot how to play. That goofball always has a "deer in the headlights" look every time the camera pans to him. Not to mention, the lines haven't changed once, even though the supposedly insane offensive skill hasn't materialized in many goals, relatively speaking.

Told you guys that this team Canada is soft

Slow

Individualist

People don’t want to accept the fact that team Canada left off better players

People on this board scalded me

But I saw it

Don't pat yourself too hard, I don't know if anything you said is correct. I see a team that doesn't have chemistry yet, and the penalties only contribute to that.

You are still in denial

This is not a good team

I feel like I’m watching the Edmonton Oilers, everyone sits back and waits for McDavid to win the game for them
Lol that’s true

Nice analogy

Next year Different coach different team

Terrible coaching decision

I didn’t know anything about this coach. Now I know why. He’s terrible. Terrible team
 
Where is the cycling posters were telling me about ? A team this big and no cycling ? What they good for if they have that size and don’t cycle

??

Slow soft
 
Well this is something... First I think people forgot fantilli is still an 18yo draft eligible. He has skated well and can keep up with the pace but he doesn't make plays like someone in the top 6 should. I think people overestimated him given his level of experience. I didn't have issue with the roster construction but the coaches now have to decide if they want to break up the 3rd line or move someone like Schaefer up to the 2nd line to replace him (or ride it out and hope they start clicking). Maybe this team thought they won gold already I don't know, but I do have doubts now about Williams as coach... Has anyone seen NHL loan Dylan Guenther???

Why are you trolling in this thread instead of the GDT?
