[Nedved]

Lol. Brutal pp. we don’t look like we’re medaling.

 

[sampollock]

Cowan has read to many TSN headlines

Yup
The fig Media TSN has bragged him up to much

 

[Riddick412]

Lol. Brutal pp. we don’t look like we’re medaling.

At this point, should get relegated.

 

[FrankMTL]

Pinelli is a real meat and potatoes type player. Right to the net. No messing around.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Germans blocked a ton of shots on that pk.

 

[Skip Bayless]

Cowan has read to many TSN headlines

Jared Davidson was a better player at the same age.

 

[Riddick412]

Passes where should be a shot, shot (missing the net) when there should be a pass. It's rage inducing. Just kids I know.

 

[Sagikev]

A guy like Hage would add so much dynamism to this team, they're cruelly missing some

 

[Nedved]

Cowan doesn’t seem like a serious player. Am I just hatin’?

Great draft pick by the jackets. Looks like hage lite.

Zero discipline. Has Cameron lost this team?

 

[donghabs98]

It's one thing to have a team that lacks offensive skill because of the type of players avaliable, it's another thing to have offensive players avaliable and willingly pass on them. This team was built in a deliberate manner and it's not working at all.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Gauthier with another dumb penalty.

That was a huge hit by Rehkopf, though.

 

[Riddick412]

No reason to make that hit. Come on man

 

[HuGo Sham]

Looks like same script as Latvia. Crappy uncreative plays in offensive zone. Slow passes, no one screening, all perimeter play..stupid penalties ..and lousy refereeing

 

[MarkovsKnee]

?? Cowan? He was drafted by the Leafs.

 

[Team_Spirit]

The Bedard/Roy WJCs were so much fun

This team is giving me a headache

PP

 

[MarkovsKnee]

That is a lame call. That was a shove not a crosscheck.

 

[Riddick412]

Oh the actual penalty is BS. The head to the glass was. Lol refs.

Canada's B team surely could do better right now. Its just frustrating to watch. I don't blame the players, I blame the staff who put these guys in this position from their selection to usage.

 

[waitin425]

Sennecke, Hage, Misa, Greentree

 

[donghabs98]

Cameron cant keep doing the same shit

Gotta shuffle at some point

Honest question, why was he chosen as coach? Surely the tournament being in Ottawa wasn't a factor. Hockey Canada should always be going for coaches who are more modern and adaptable. It's a short tournament and the ability to adjust on the fly and motivate the team is crucial.

 

[donghabs98]

Sennecke, Hage, Misa, Greentree

At least having these players would give fans something to watch the games for. There's not too many players who are worth watching intently

 

[Riddick412]

Am I ever glad I did not waste thousands to go see this. I'm 20 mins away but refused to pay the inflated prices.

 

[Rapala]

LOL
I'm glad I watched Finland vs USA this is not exactly riveting hockey.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Canada in the same place as against Latvia.

1-0 after 2. Shots are nearly even. 19-18 for Canada.

Team USA led 6-2 after 2 against Germany.

I know that draft pedigree doesn't mean everything. But a guy like Sennecke is a consensus top 10 pick and goes 3rd overall. Cole Beaudoin is a later 1st rounder and gets picked ahead of him for this team. Beaudoin based on draft position odds may never make the show. Sennecke is almost assured to. Why do the braintrusts at TC think they are smarter than all those NHL scouts.

Not to mention Tanner Howe a mid 2nd rounder.
