Been distracted but I see it's 3-1. Is that an appropriate score for how things are going?

Yes. although that Austrian goal never should have happened.

Canada is just that much more deadly in the offensive zone.

I think Austria has a hard time with Canada's cycle. Guys like Paul and Dubois are hard to move.

In transition, Canada has been nothing special - you're not really seeing anyone gunning between the blue lines.

The goal against was just a breakdown and a lack of effort and focus.

Yeah - about right. Maybe 2-1... some luck on the second goal off Huber's pants. Their coverage was actually good.

 

[JackSlater]

From the highlight that TSN showed the Austrian goal looked like a lack of effort plus Binnington being a bit too loose. He's a bit scrambly.

When you've got 3 players in the crease and they have 2, and your goalie makes the initial save, I don't really put it on Binnington.

Not one Canadian skater played the man there.

Anyone still doubting Lfie is Life is the official goal song?

 

[HabSgt]

Me.

 

[JackSlater]

Nice hands by McCann. It's still hard to get a feel for Canada's lines.

Nice work by the Austrian goalies on that last series of chances.

 

[PanniniClaus]

The Austrian players are watching a pretty good Canadian team play..

the backup didn't do shit there. Just sat on the bench and watched

Mike Johnson questioning why NHL teams are involved in players' international participation.

"Why do the teams get talked to first? Don't the players know if they are injured or not?"

 

[NyQuil]

Canada with more jump in this period.

The three other Austrians falling in front of the net did.

 

[NyQuil]

Da Costa is still playing for France. Wow.

(only 34, ok)

Not quite good enough for top six centre in the NHL, too skilled and small for bottom six.

 

[vlady]

Bedard wanted to hear that goal song again

 

[JackSlater]

Good goal scorers score even when they whiff on it.

 

[jj cale]

Bedard again.

 

[HabSgt]

Connor Bedard is a golden god. 5-1

 

[NyQuil]

Bedard Bedarding.

Have to be good to be lucky and lucky to be good.

5-1 Canada.

Well, at least it means we won't have European visitors to our threads to inform us that we didn't score enough goals.
