GDT: Canada vs Sweden, Dec 29, 1pm EST

[GlassesJacketShirt]

I've liked what I've seen from Geekie.

 

[nucks88]

Willander is so good

Strange having mixed feelings on a goal against Canada….lol…liking our three boys though…..

 

[MM917]

Yeah and he doesn't even score that much in junior, the coaching staff are morons if they expected Minten to be one of the best offensive players

I think both of those statements are likely true, LOL

 

[Dominance]

The Poitras line gets three shifts for every time I’ve seen Celebrini out there. Explain that.

 

[Macallan18]

Captaincy doesn't mean scoring. He doesn't even score that much in junior, the coaching staff are morons if they expected Minten to be one of the best offensive players. I don't think any fans expected that.

Well sometimes they pick good two way players for some godforesaken reason

 

[PanniniClaus]

The Poitras line gets three shifts for every time I’ve seen Celebrini out there. Explain that.

That needs to change... I know he's trying to get them going... but it's not going.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Celebrini needs to play a lot more

It’s just nice to have some legitimate potential star prospects at the tournament.

With all the sickness, and injuries, it feels like it’s been a while

I honestly thought Celebrini was hurt. Can't recall hearing his name.


He doesn't deserve hate, but I figured Dumais would be more noticeable given how he dummies the Q

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

Rehkopft should be playing more. Only guy to really look dangerous

 

[Canucks LB]

Celebrini needs to play a lot more

Agreed, maybe it’s time to start mixing up the lines also

 

[TLEH]

Poitras playing way too much compared to Celebrini.

 

[Canucks LB]

I've liked what I've seen from Geekie.

Agreed, he’s been a really really good, should get more ice time soon

 

[Barrie22]

The Poitras line gets three shifts for every time I’ve seen Celebrini out there. Explain that.

Team Canada as usual doesn't like given the youngest player the most ice time, no matter how good they are compared to the rest of the team. Same even happened last year with Bedard, he was dominating but still wasn't getting top line minutes.

 

[Alerion]

Lines gotta go in a blender soon. Pacing for 17 shots isn't enough, credit the Swedes as well but it didn't feel like much clicked for Canada vs Finland either. Seems like the pieces aren't properly matched.

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Going back to the goal. Warren does get caught in no man's land but it happens because the Canadian forwards are completely out of position . Warren basically has to push halfway and play a 2on1 between his own man and the puck carrier. Can't really commit fully to either.

 

[nucks88]

Celebrini needs to play a lot more

He will if needed……

 

[TheDoldrums]

Well sometimes they pick good two way players for some godforesaken reason

Not sure why you quoted me, I'd have Minten on the team. I just don't think he has or should have the offensive expectations like Poitras and Savoie, who most expected to lead the offensive charge

 

[deleted user]

Get our offensive guys out there and do it often.

 

[Smif]

This coach is deferring to the 19 year olds for some reason. Should've just run 4 lines.

 

[Fraser28]

Moronic coaching from Canada. Barely play Celebrini and Wood…Canada’s two best players last game.

 

[helax]

Like Swedens tempo!

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Sweden is starting to roll

 

[MM917]

Agreed, he’s been a really really good, should get more ice time soon

The problem with him getting more ice time is it means more of him having to drag around the corpse of Frasier Minten.

It would be great to see him get more minutes with linemates that actually work with him.

 

[John Agar]

The coaches could double shift Celebrini... play on his original line...

Pull Poitras off 1st line and put Celebrini on it as well...

Poitras over handles the puck leading to turnovers and skates into dead-zones...

Get normally aggressive, go to net players going again...

Celebrini would fix two lines...
