Honestly, besides Matt Schaefer before he was injured, I haven't been very impressed with any players on Team Canada.

Not even Cowan??

1-0 Canada after 1.

Shots even 9-9.

This game is a lot more competitive than you want it to be especially 5 on 5. PP definitely looks better with Dickinson on it, and they have a PP goal, but PK is shaky. Germany got some good looks.

Dont want to blame kids but this isnt what Canadas best juniors have to offer

Hockey Canada continues to be a shitshow

Mckenna has played well last game, but he seems to play a bit on the outside so far

Tbf no one stops in front of the net

 

[sampollock]

Kenzie time

Not even Cowan??

I've been impressed about how punchable his face is....He'll fit right in with the Leafs.

Perimeter team, no creativity, slow feet, sloppy breakouts. George has been fantastic. Should probably be 1-1. Germany with some better chances on the ice. I don’t see a number 1 d in the ice. U.S. development is overtaking Canada. Hockey Canada has killed natural talent, everyone looks the same, it’s ugly.

I love this time of the year when Bob Mckenzie takes a break from selling his Bobby Margaritas to bless us with his wisdom.

Schaefer and McKenna have been the only guys who have really stood out to me.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

This team is hard to watch

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Terrible pass Cowan come on.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Two guys skating around the top

Everyone else standing still……


Not sure what Cameron is seeing out there

Dickinson is a stud. 11th overall for him is a steal

 

[FrankMTL]

Schaefer created so many opportunities with his skating...They're really missing him. Crazy to say that about a 17 year old.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

That PP killed. Price got beat wide. Good net drive by that German player.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

There is just ZERO creativity. Germanys PP was far more dangerous and opened seams

Canada stood around looking for a point shot

Agreed with you. I was actually open to drafting him 5th had Demidov not been there. It was Iginla or Dickinson for me at 5th overall had the top 4 been Celebrini, Demidov, Levshunov and Lindstrom.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

The sooner they stop picking rosters and having coaches play systems like its a 4 round playoff grind, the better

Dinosaurs havent realized the tourny format is different especially since the World has been catching up

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Good shift by McKenna & Pinelli. Too bad they can't hit the net.

I had Dickinson 2nd after Celebrini but I'm a Knights fan, so a bit of homerism there. I still think he is the best D of that draft. Just solid all around. Demi is 2nd for me now for obvious reasons. But I wouldn't be surprised if Dickinson is a perrenial all star and #1 D man on a cup winning team.

TC top dogs need to be more assertive and drive the play

 

[MarkovsKnee]

3 on 1 and you don't even get a shot. Pinelli go to the net you had tons of time.
