GDT: Canada - Norway

[jj cale]

I guess it's kind of hard for a coach to go all fire and brimstone on the players when they've volunteered to be here.

On the plus side a loss here could be just what the doctor ordered to light a fire under their ass.

At least that is what I am hoping, it usually works with us.

Loooch!

Canada back in the game.

That's what we brought the hulk over for......................the big goals!!

 

[Namejs]

I don't think I've ever seen a team play on neutral gear before, this is just ridiculous

 

[TheBeastCoast]

This has to be one the most underwhelming teams we have sent to this event in the last decade.

It looked that way and they are certainly playing that way.

You don't need world-class talent to win this tournament but if you don't have it, you'd better bring the effort.

 

[jj cale]

That Bear-Barron dance pretty much sums up our play thus far.

Cmon guys, get it together.

100% spot on

As far as I’ve heard Norway is missing many players this year, and the only goal was not to get relegated. But they’ve played many close games this WC, if not only close games.

I think that's pretty much been their goal for decades.

Incorrect. The goal had been making the QF. Which we have a few times.

 

[Frank the Tank]

Wonder if these are the last meaningful games Lucic will play in his career? I imagine a team desperate for size and toughness may sign to a cheap contract him next season.

 

[jj cale]

No more spin o ramas Quinn.

Not really. Most of their best players just either recently retired or are about to do so. Holos, Thoresen, the better Olimb, etc. Zuccarello would be nice, obviously but him and Rosseli Olsen are really the only big losses.

 

[NyQuil]

That's a tough call.

Pretty impossible to avoid hitting him in the head there.

Probably still a 5.

 

[SoundAndFury]

Yeah that was hit to the head... Textbook 5 minutes in IIHF tournament.

 

[jj cale]

ah cmon........................that's a clean check.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

That's a tough call.

Probably still a 5.

And yet he didn't hit him in the head. It was a c;lean hit. And Canada gets screwed AGAIN.

 

[NyQuil]

ah cmon........................that's a clean check.

I don't blame Fantilli there but it's the right call in the end.

And yet he didn't hit him in the head. It was a c;lean hit. And Canada gets screwed AGAIN.

The shoulder gets him right in the head.

The refs looked at the replay and confirmed what everyone is seeing.

 

[jj cale]

Yeah that was hit to the head... Textbook 5 minutes in IIHF tournament.

I suppose in the IIHF, i'll give you that

 

[SoundAndFury]

And yet he didn't hit him in the head.

What are you watching my man

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

What a garbage call….

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Yeah that was hit to the head... Textbook 5 minutes in IIHF tournament.

It wasn't near the head. And the only reason to watch this game is gone.

What are you watching my man

You are blind my man.

 

[jj cale]

what can you do? gotta deal with it.

 

[AwesomePanthers]

And yet he didn't hit him in the head. It was a c;lean hit. And Canada gets screwed AGAIN.

Hahahahah, is this a Specsavers commercial?

As clear check for the head as you get, even if his intentions wasnt so..

 

[NyQuil]

It wasn't near the head. And the only reason to watch this game is gone.

Ah right, the Habs fan with a top 5 pick has appeared and disappeared.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Hahahahah, is this a Specsavers commercial?

Another blind poster. he hit him in the upper chest.

 

[jj cale]

Doesn't matter, Canada needs to kill a 5.........it is what it is

That's hockey.
