GDT: Canada (5) vs. Czech Republic (3) • Quarterfinals • Jan. 2

[Michael Brand Eggs]

That was such an iffy penalty.

 

[Skip2myBordyloo]

Chabot is so much fun to watch. Ottawa are spoiled.

Should look good next to Karlsson.

Bad rebound on the 3rd one but not a terrible goal to give up. But I'm speaking generally. He had to only make 7 saves against the Czechs last time, and he wasn't that impressive against the US either (at least 1 very soft goal). How has he been better than Hart this tournament?

It was a slap shot from the slot. There are very few goalies in the world that will control that rebound well. Neither goalie has been "strong"

 

[Prov1X]

I have been critical of Hart, but still thought that he should have gotten the start. I have friends out west and have told me that both Hart and Ingram are amazing. I am sure that the pressure of playing for team Canada in Canada has a lot to do with it. But, these guys need to learn how to deal with that pressure.

Was there nay sayers? I'm a Leaf fan and have always been a huge fan.

Only a couple of our own Sens fans

 

[Rebels57]

Not even remotely true.

I dunno, i'm just guessing.

 

[NyQuil]

That patience and poise is fantastic. Great skater too

His offensive talents are really on display in the tournament.

But his play in his own end has improved since last year which is what we were hoping to see.

Glad he's contributing to the team!

 

[RayNibbs]

Is Barzal usually this much of a puck-hog? Guy plays with great energy but seems to hate giving up the puck.

This. He creates so much space and does absolutely nothing with it.

 

[Skip2myBordyloo]

Nice muffin bean.

 

[DeflatedFootball7]

lol come on Bean...

 

[MoreMogilny]

That was such an iffy penalty.

Sure seems like it. But I imagine they were warned prior.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Was there nay sayers? I'm a Leaf fan and have always been a huge fan.

He seemed off during the first period of this game....but holy hell, did he ever show up in the final two periods.

 

[NyQuil]

Barzal puck carries and that's it?

Strome scores but that's it?

If only we could combine them into Barztrome.

 

[Turd Ferguson]

Keep Strome off the ice please.

 

[New User Name]

Not impressed with Strome.

 

[PG Canuck]

Strome is underwhelming and frustrating.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

One more sil vous plait

 

[TimeZone]

I'm so happy Arizona picked Strome.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Should look good next to Karlsson.

I'd let them each be "the guy" on their own pairing and play together on the powerplay.

 

[Divine]

Has Strome even improved from last year?

 

[NyQuil]

I'd let them each be "the guy" on their own pairing and play together on the powerplay.

They've actually played together in exhibition games and it was surprisingly good.

But I think you're right.

 

[NyQuil]

Dube has had a good period.

 

[habsrule4eva3089]

Stephens should have been captain.

Not sure about Strome's leadership ability, but never considered him a good Hockey player.

Not even top 7 player on this team.

 

[WilliamNylander]

Has Strome even improved from last year?

He looks a lot worse

Who is winning?
