GDT: 9/17 - Czech Republic vs. Canada - 8:00 ET

[Sorey*]

Without Keith and Letang, I'd say so. But overall in the NHL, Canada > Sweden.

We talk.about this tournament and we could had klingberg.

 

[PALE PWNR]

I think today might have convinced me. Can ESPN have hockey back and can linda Cohn host the hockey today podcast over Scott Burnside? I've really enjoyed this coverage.

She has been brutal :

 

[SJSharksfan39]

You mean you don't miss the Versus days?

No i don't. I do think NBC has decent coverage but I love the energy the ESPN hockey people have shown today. It's almost like they are treating the World Cup as a party and it's exciting.

 

[Iceman]

Haha @ Drew's teeth on that merch photo.

 

[Finnish your Czech]

I can get one of those sweet Team Canada sweaters for free if I buy a 500$ phone + 2 year Rogers contract??? sign me up!!!

Haha @ Drew's teeth on that merch photo.

He would be ok looking if he could afford some dentistry

Dentists costs a lot, ok.

That pin on Freidmann's lapel, is that for Autism?

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Imagine Letang carrying the puck... yeah, yeah, I know we're winning 5-0, but still.. taking someone like Muzzin and then benching him. I think TC management knows they made a wrong decision.

We're dominating the game and there's is aboslutely nothing left that needs to be worry in this game.

Let's try to find something to complain about so we can pretend like there's actually a hole on this Canadian team.

The team is clearly not moving the puck well up the ice

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

If Canada doesn't win this tournament, it'll only be their own fault.

There's no youth on this team

Yes. Has it on every broadcast

Compare to......the 2014 Sochi Gold medal team?? A stanley cup winning team?
Gimme a break, yeah they might have not play to their full potential yet but they are already a level above everyone else.

Like seriously, this is a team that lost Benn & Seguin to injury and replace them with Logan Coulture and O'Reily

This is a team that has Claude Giroux & Jake Muzzin as healthy scratches.

 

[donghabs98]

There isn't enough beards on the team. Burns and Thornton are the only ones giving a damn.

 

[General Zodd]

Naw they all have partials or plates that take out for the game!

 

[Mitts]

Not necessarily, I seem to remember Hasek and Richter robbing us in the past.

 

[Iceman]

Except for Drew who always has his mouth open.

 

[jj cale]

I can't believe this................Bouwmeester has been great.

Miller...

Too many penalties. Mostly due to referee anti Canada bias though

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Yeah but I gotta say I think this Candian team(2014~now) is the best of all time

 

[Sorey*]

Just pity penalties now when the game is already over.

 

[Iceman]

Yeah but I gotta say I've don't remember seeing a Candian team being this good.

The top level segment is not quite there. I rather have Lemieux, Gretzky and Bourque over Crosby but overall I agree. The depth is amazing, especially looking at the people who didn't make the team (even if you exclude the people who should've been there like Subban/Letang and perhaps Hall).

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Team Canada could have Ben Scrivens in net and still go all the way with the team they've assembled. The Czechs can barely even gain entry with the puck across the center line.
