This Nike commercial should be pulled from the air.

Some how mentioned lack of elite prospects at the tourney like last time(Laine,Matthews)

It's not that. 98% of people didn't know who Laine was before that tourney.

 

[Novak Djokovic]

Damn Huska is really good.

 

[Muston Atthews]

How is that interference ????

 

[Novak Djokovic]

Lol interference hahaha

 

[OilerTyler]

Not a penalty

 

[izzy]

So far good positioning by Huska, but it's been only few minutes

Yeah just that Huska is arguably the best goalie in the tourney already and Cernak is one of (could also argue the best) the best shutdown D in the tourney. Unfortunately their team isn't that great outside of that

 

[Scandale du Jour]

How is that interference ????

International refs...

 

[CanCHI]

It feels like more folks are being turned off from the massive TSN over-hyping the last couple of years. It worked when we were getting gold a few years in a row, but with no guarantees anymore, it's getting a bit pretentious.

People know the team is picked in a stupid way as well.

 

[Elvs]

I'm dissappointed this game isn't broadcasted in Sweden. Instead I've had to resort to a low quality stream, which makes it difficult to see jersey numbers and to track the puck.

I follow Slovak development closely, and so I was looking forward to see some of their players. They have more interesting prospects than usual, even if some of them won't be draft eligiable until 2018.

I think a big thing is that it was a mistake going to the same cities within 2 years of each other. Hockey Canada needs to reevaluate what cities get this and not think about money and money only.

 

[Alerion]

IIHF refs.

Nah! People need to get off their couches and do something else than watch tv.

 

[The Stig]

Lots of empty seats for a Canada game at home.

 

[Kamiccolo]

Threads dead....Rink is dead. Is WJC losing steam in Canada?

The roster is unappealing. The best player is Strome who might not even be a NHLer.

Agreed. And set some sort of limit to ticket prices. I can only imagine how much it costs to go to a game at ACC.

 

[Dod93Cityt]

At least one person in Imperial is getting robbed tonight

Good job, guys

 

[izzy]

Ruzicka is going to be a force next year though

How is that interference ????

"When a player deflects the pass of a teammate, he can be hit or checked immediately by an
opposing player.
A player not in control or in possession of the puck may not be hit or checked by an opposing
player using his body, stick or hand. "

Didn't catch it in the replay, but maybe the hit came a fraction of a moment before Pataky deflected the pass?

I can't believe how dead this thread is, we used to rack up 30 pages for blowout victories.

Didn't even get close to one full thread for a game against Russia.

No businessmen to take up all the seats with season tickets in Toronto.

Everyone loves a winner.

 

[tobu]

Is the Slovak strategy to grind this out to a 0-1 OT shootout win?!
