CAN vs. AUT May 14, 2024

Austrian are amazing, we took them lightly and they punished us (even though we find a way to beat them in regulation), Canada was thinking that the game is over at 6-1 and get punished as well, they have some killer instinct for sure

Tip of the cap to Austria.. Hope they use it as a springboard to better things here.

Yes, well done. They kept coming and coming and coming. The 3rd was amazing.

Binnington was a top 5 goalie this year. He won the cup in 2019 these two situations are nothing alike. Nice try though.

So in 6 seasons he’s been good once and had one clutch run. Wow, elite.

Why does Canada even go to this tournament?

 

[JackSlater]

For Canada that is a learning experience, I don't think it means much unless there is another collapse. This is not an invincible team and at this tournament Canada often has close calls or loses against a very clearly inferior team. Biggest concern to me is Binnington, easily.

For Austria the players have to be thrilled even if the ending wasn't what they would have hoped for.

 

[bert]

Binnington doesn't get another start

As you wish.

Bahahaha I play golf with a few guys that have played in this tournament. You'd be hella mad if you knew how serious they take it until the playoffs.

Pause

Good game Austria, that never say die comeback was great.

Play like that going forward & you will have a great tournament.

Good for you................it's officially time for them to get serious then.

He's been an NHL starter for 5 years and had several playoffs where he was lights out. He almost single handidly beat Colorado a few years ago. I know think Montembault is better. I imagine you dont really watch once the habs are out but he's a way better goalie far more proven.

They couldnt care less I guarantee it.

To win it. In the medal round.

Well you know best!!

I don't think they care.

 

[NyQuil]

I don't think they care.

I don't think they care about a round robin game against Austria in which they are leading 6-1.

Binnington is as average as it gets. But I guess that would be considered elite in Toronto

A Leafs fan bragging about “almost beating” a team in the playoffs is on point too

 

[NyQuil]

Tavares calls it a hard lesson early.

They followed their best period (2nd) with their worst (3rd) which was pretty wild.

LOL, swing and a miss. He hates the Leafs. Is it that hard to click on a poster's post history before trolling them?

 

[bert]

You have to stop worrying about the name on the back if you're in this forum.

Binnington had a crap game. That's all. He was one of the major reasons why this historic comeback happened.

He's certainly one of the candidates for a best-on-best team, but to be fair, it's one of the worst pools of goalies we've ever had for a best-on-best tournament. At least in my (not insignificant) lifetime.

Agreed he was bad doesnt mean his entire body of work over the last 5 years is non existent. Thats all I am saying.

The emotional reactions are comical. Its a meaningless game they still won. Burn the tapes and move on.

He’s had several playoffs where he was the worst goalie in them also

Its common knowledge and common sense, this tournament is a vacation until the medal round.

 

[NyQuil]

Its common knowledge and common sense, this tournament is a vacation until the medal round.

It's one of those things where it gets the attention of the players and enables the coaches to get a little more serious.

 

[JoVel]

A lot of North Americans also go there just to get drunk let's be real.

 

[WeAre]

Too bad that Finnish refs f*ucked up in The end of third.

There should been penalty for canada for elbowing. Ot would be different 4 on 3.

 

[jj cale]

Fair enough..........I'll expect better from this point on then.

I'm sure he is up to the task

 

[NyQuil]

It's certainly a bit of a balancing act.

Everyone knows that the players get a little free reign early on to enjoy themselves or we wouldn't have guys volunteering after the grueling NHL season.

Other than the bubble when he was coming off Covid, which ones?
