2025 IIHF World Junior Championship (12/26-1/5)

I simply don't get what is going on with Canada. Everytime I watch them play I see a bunch of individuals running around trying to do everything themselves or they just start over-passing and getting everything intercepted/blocked.

It's never looked like a team to me, which is why I'm really raising my eyebrows at reports that they don't practice.

I'm thinking the biggest issue with Team Canada might be coaching.

Ritchie is destroying his value in this tournament might as well keep him.

Coaching has been abysmal. Not getting the team playing disciplined, no line combinations working. It's crazy.

Back to the box.

Beaudoin murders Sikora.

2 or 5 now, we wait…

Yup, 5 minute major and game misconduct.

 

[Avs_19]

Suboptimal start for Canada.

Czechs have a Petr Sikora? Not to be confused with Petr Sykora.

Adam Jiricek, brother of David.

Adam Zidlicky, son of Marek.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Hockey Canada politics got them here. This is team is bad

 

[GeoRox89]

This has to be the worst Team Canada in WJC history. Undisciplined morons

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Nice short handed goal by Howe.

Kill off this penalty and regroup.

So many momentum swings in Jr hockey. Uncontrolled emotions running high. This kill is critical.

Zidlicky kid playing in this now I feel old af. I remember Mareks first game in the NHL haha

 

[GeoRox89]

Literally just gloves it in his own net. Was better off leaving that alone

 

[Avs_19]

Own goal gloved in. C'mon man.

 

[Avs_19]

Dickinson and Cowan just dicking around on the PP. Nonchalant giveaways.

 

[Metallo]

Dickinson dicking.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Dickinson and Cowan just dicking around on the PP. Nonchalant giveaways.

Such low percentage passes across the zone trying to get them through sticks and legs.

 

[Metallo]

Ritchie puck to the face. Maybe he wakes up.

 

[GeoRox89]

That’s a back breaker

 

[Metallo]

Dagger. Such irresponsible hockey. Gut check time.

 

[Avs_19]

Ugh. With two seconds left. Dickinson activates for some reason, turnover, odd man rush goal.

 

[Bender]

Coward with FOUR turnovers in the 1st period.

These coaches are the worst ever. I have not ever seen someone play that poorly in this yearly tournament without any sort of consequence. He hasn't missed a shift - in fact he regularly extends shifts.

 

[Metallo]

We’ve become a laughingstock

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Really get the feeling Canada goes out again tonight.

 

[Metallo]

McKenzie arguing the hit as a good hit is something. It was horrible technique. Who runs face first in a hit? Turn your shoulder in the chest and there is no penalty f***ing donkey!

Really get the feeling Canada goes out again tonight.

Czech losing as of now would be an upset indeed.

 

[LOFIN]

Really get the feeling Canada goes out again tonight.

I hope I'm not jinxing it
