GDT: Canada vs Česko

[ole ole]

woohoo f*** !

How do you like us now,

 

[snipes]

Lots of Western Canadian lads.

I love when Gord says where everyone’s from. Coast to coast.

 

[MichaelFarrell]

I don't think that is the case.

no one looks at the US above Czechia.

Silver > Bronze.

I get it. But, Czechia is in tears after “winning” silver. USA was hyped when they won Bronze. It just shouldn’t be that way I think. I’d like a silver medal match in all honesty.

 

[fahad203]

Eduard Sale is going to be great player

 

[GreatSaveEssensa]

Sucks that Czechia and all “winners” of the silver medal don’t actually win it. They just lose in the gold medal match. It’s just so bizarre to me that the bronze medal winners will always be more hyped than the silver medal winners because of the structure of the tournament.

You win bronze you lose silver.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Can't win men's tournaments tho

You mean the olympic tournaments where we had nhl leftovers playing from Europe?

We'll see when our center line will be Crosby Mackinnon Bedard and Mcdavid.

Instead of washed players than couldn't even make the AHL.

 

[Czechboy]

Full marks to Moncton and Halifax for pulling this together in relatively short order. I know the hint of bigger crowds likely draws this into major Canadian markets again, but it's the junior cities where this tournament shines when it is in North America.

London please

 

[Confucius]

Congrats to Canada finally winning one without taking away goals from the other team.

46 official times the wjc has been played. Canada played in 30 of the gold medal games (winning 20) Canada has won a few. LOL!

 

[snipes]

Watched so many of these WJC, and yet each time I get surprised once again looking at these kids, so young, who provide such great dedication and entertainment. It gets me every time when I see their emotions on display especially at the final handshake line.

The pride and emotion they play with is just awesome to watch.

they were in tears because they 'almost' won the championship.

trust me, no one on the USA values their bronze metal more than a Czechia player values their silver.

 

[nbwingsfan]

I guess.

I don't think so.

Playing in the real game, and losing, is better than winning the consolation game. At least it always felt like that when I was young.

Eh, the big hockey tournaments I played always felt better winning third place medals than losing for second.

I mean, you can see it in the players faces alone. Tears for silver, cheers for bronze

With that said, I’m sure in a week or so you get over it and would prefer silver

 

[ruaware41]

there is something very Canadian about “Conor Bedard moving in”

It’s just Canada encapsulated in a single phrase. Isn’t it funny how these things work? It’s like just saying Conor Bedard moving in as he skates the puck in is just like encompassing of Canada.

Can’t wait to see this dude in the olympics. He reminds me of Marner a little bit in style (I’m not saying he’s going to be better or worse just what he reminds me of)

Instead of ahlers.

Not even AHLers. Most AHLers even had NHL contracts
We had to get players from Universities and borderlined retired players out

I'm not sure how you would do that unless you had that match after the Gold Medal match...which doesn't seem ideal. It sucks losing and getting silver but you end up appreciating them down the line.

 

[Chainshot]

Eduard Sale is going to be great player

He's been one of the most entertaining players in each of these last 2 (including the August remake). Some team is going to be thrilled to call his name on draft day.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Does it make you 6-2 your stomach?

Your posts are usually terrible, but this one is...

Gold

I'm guessing you played when participation awards became popular?

Trust me, no one ever valued their bronze over a silver.

At least not when we all competed to win.

Reminds me of Sid.

 

[Czechboy]

by the time you learn it, they'll change it again

We will pull a Prince and change our name to a symbol.lol

LOL, this is genius. I hope even the salty guy acknowledges it.

I get it though.

You don’t enjoy the silver until much later.

The bronze is the result of a victory.

As they say, you lose the silver and win the bronze.

 

[Ciao]

Lot of respect for the Czechs. They pIayed a good, clean, hard game and they really thought they would win.

And they could very well have won this, too.

 

[MOGlLNY]

The Czechs don't seem "appreciative" because they just had their hearts broken in a grasping chance at gold in OT. They're kids and hurt right now thinking about what could've been. To imply otherwise is ridiculous.

It will be one of their prized possessions not long from today.

 

[Canadian Finn]

We will pull a Prince and change our name to a symbol.lol

amazing.

i'd love to crush some beers with ya.

 

[Bradely]

Lol...you Shane fanboy!!!!
