GDT: CAN vs. GBR May 11, 2024
- Thread starter Summer Rose
- Start date
He was a 7th round draft pick for the Coyotes a while ago. Didn't stick with the AHL club for some reason. Wonder if he gets another look at some point.
Plays in my home country for Litvinov currently (Czech Republic).
If I remember correclty he struggled a lot with injuries during his time in Tuscon. That's why he went back to Europe. He's 23, still a lot of time.
Depends how you define it. A maximum of 9 - but they all have family or birth ties to the United Kingdom. GB doesn't really fire Canadians on the team for the sake of it.
I've read he's signed to play in the DEL next season though.
Just checking since I'm opted out of live threads, it's working now, right?
Yes thank you very much. I am just used to it during games.

Since nothing has been officially confirmed yet it's likely that Kirk is just sitting on that Berlin's offer and seeing if nothing better comes from all the exposure at World's. But certainly he isn't staying at Litvinov.
Wow, that was only GB's second shot? Seems like they should have had a few more. It's not like they're not at least getting some attacking zone time.

These struggles are because Tavares is captain!
It has been empirically proven once again that hockey without skating doesn't work. Now, after Canada has successfully replicated this old experiment, I expect them to start moving their legs.
GB playing a very disciplined game so far. It has been well known to all followers of the Czech Extraliga that Liam Kirk is the heck of a player and has a great shot.

I must say though, "Canadian goalie let in the first shot of the game twice against Great Britain" is not a sentence anyone in human history has said before.

Good period for Britain and a little bit of a wake up for Canada. We'll see if they come out skating in the second.
Canada I think is a bit like the USA in that regard at these tournaments as they come over and adjust. They'll warm up eventually. USA didn't look cohesive at all yesterday.
A tie after 20 minutes with Canada, I've seen some things in my life, I've seen many versions of top level hockey in the UK, but never in my dreams did I ever have Team GB leading Canada at hockey or even being level after 20. The only thing that's shocked me more was news of THE TRADE.

Such is the Russell way, just a matter of how long we can keep it tight for...

If France, for example, could be even with Canada after 60 it's not unreasonable that some scenario exists for GB to do the same.
Pretty sure Kirk was the top goal scorer in the Czech playoffs.
Had an ACL injury after 8 games in the AHL. Then only played 1 AHL game the season after so didn't really get another chance.
