This.

And regardless of the ref assist, it was a good goal. Those count in any league.

Canada has played very poorly today.

We've played poor since the Russia game. We need to play a systematic game because we don't have the talent to run and gun and of coarse that's not what we're doing. Beating Latvia and Slovakia means nothing.

They have to figure out a way to beat this trap the Czechs are playing, having all kinds of trouble getting through the neutral zone.

 

[TimeZone]

Our last two teams at the World Juniors have been a complete embarrassment to Canadian Hockey. Pitiful effort.

 

[canwincup]

Hahahahahahah BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

 

[Step]

Canada no longer produces elite players.

Yeah that McDavid guy is a plug.

 

[bert]

Ref assist or not, Canada looks awful so far.

Yup, it looks like they think they are playing an exibition game. These new lines are mind blowing to me.

Dylan Strome... yikes.

 

[Stephen]

Barzal and Strome hungover?

Something defective with this year's edition.

 

[New User Name]

That was a good goal, always has been, always will be.

It would stupid to stop play every time the puck hits an official.

 

[CrazyJoeDavola]

I feel like I'm watching 5 Nugent-Hopins on the ice trying to cycle in the offensive zone... this is so sad to watch game after game of generating next to nothing 5 on 5.

 

[OvermanKingGainer]

Myers was Canada's MVP before he went down.

 

[Stephen]

Yup, it looks like they think they are playing an exibition game. These new lines are mind blowing to me.

Dylan Strome... yikes.

It's sad to hear these kids getting boo'ed on home ice, but man...

 

[Quinning]

The difference between 2015 and this team...it's not even ****ing close.

Been a rough few years for Canadian talent in the first round.

 

[ProspectsSTC]

Canada's 2015 team had 4 players who would have been the best player on this team.

 

[OilersFanatics505]

I hope Canada wins. I dont know if I can sit here and read all the excuses.

 

[ViD]

If Czech wins, biggest upset ever ?

 

[scotian1]

You have to give some credit to the Czechs they are using a system that has Canada stymied so far.

 

[RayNibbs]

This coach looks lost...

 

[OilerPensfan97]

I hope Canada wins. I dont know if I can sit here and read all the excuses.

What excuses? We're playing like crap.

 

[Nashology]

I would be booing as well.

Too slow, too weak, too small, no skill, no effort.

Team looks horrible, and have looked horrible for the majority of this tournament.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

I hope Canada wins. I dont know if I can sit here and read all the excuses.

lol are you reading the same thread as me? Literally every post is how bad this team is but sure have fun champ.

 

[Alerion]

Canada no longer produces elite players.

Here come the hot takes.

 

[BobbyClarkeFan16]

Team Canada - a great example of what happens when you try to build an All Star squad and not the best team.

 

[XokkeyGuy]

If Czech wins, biggest upset ever ?

Have you not seen Finland?

 

[Gert B Frobe]

Good thing they got that loss out of their system. Wake up call and everything. Probably will do them some good and they will know that they have to work hard for wins and all that.
