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

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Oof the replay, Warren didn't play that well at all. Could have been a few feet out more. Put himself in no man's land.

Dude nobody cares about Canada not having their best players.
You have more players registered to hockey than Sweden and Finland and Germany combined.

 

[notbias]

Nobody gives a flying F about Canada not having their full squad. You should be able to win with any squad because you have over 600 000 registered players compared to Sweden with 60 000.

Now Shut up and stop whining.
Game isn’t over yet.

No one is whining... Talking about potential players who could play is interesting... clearly, Canada is the better nation at hockey, it doesn't need to be said...

 

[DavidLamb]

The team needs a wake-up call by switching the line-up around. That Jorian Donovan should not be on the ice. Every time he is on the ice, he gives the puck away. Worst defenseman during training camp. He makes soft plays and makes lots of mistakes.

 

[Leafidelity]

Gotta find a way to get Celebrini more icetime, he's not playing nearly enough

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

Canada needs to bring it like they did vs USA in the pre tournament in third period.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Hate to agree with O'Dog but he's right. Sweden has been better on the details and that's why they're winning.

 

[Smif]

Canadian coaches love line matching waaay too much. Way too much Beck in the beginning of the game and not enough Celebrini at all.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Canada's missing Shane Wright and he's likely as effective for Canada whether he's there, or not

Having Bedard at this would be a cheat.

 

[snipes]

One thing as well, Canada needs to hit the bloody net as well. They have missed a lot of shots it’s seemed like.

 

[CanadaIsIrrelevant]

Again nobody cares about Canada being the best country. Be happy other countries can beat you to grow the game and more potential countries being better.

Canadians are no. 1 complainers about it not being best on best.

How are other nations ever going to learn to be better if they never can face the best teams?

Huh?

 

[DueDiligence]

How? He's a great kid, tons of experience with winning. 2 way player, started the year in the NHL.

Quit whining.

He's a crappy player.

 

[Barrie22]

Yeah Mackenzie mentioned that Canada coaches are only trying to get him on the ice when Canada has pressure in the sweden zone. They need to get away from that and allow Celebrini to get the sustained pressure for the team.

You're complaining to no one... you're making up arguments to complain.

"Canada #1 complainers" - complainer

Hate to agree with O'Dog but he's right. Sweden has been better on the details and that's why they're winning.

I also think one of Canada's lines has an identity and they've been the best or one of the best in this tournament for them.

I really think they should make the 3rd line a more defensive-minded grinding line which will make the top two lines all offense.

I completely agree, as a Canadian. There is no excuse, just win or tip your cap.

 

[Hierso]

Anyone knows why the swedish goalie isn't drafted? I'd throw a 7th rounder at him.

 

[Hooz]

Who are you even arguing with? Lol

He’s tiny.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

I’m not sure how Canada picks it’s captains but it should be reevaluated.

Minten, Wright, Comtois, Dube, Lazar all in recent years. Just give it to the best damn player, they tend to lead on the ice which is most important.

This guy been having a half hour argument with nobody.

Can’t be arsed to press the stupid quote button in this forum.
Doesn’t work on my phone.

Every time I try to insert quote it never appears.

lol, I thought it was because of my now extended ignore list that he looks like hes arguing with himself

 

[Joe Zanussi]

What excuses?

Most people have been critical of the players and coaches. Pointing out the FACT that with our full squad we would dominate this tournament isn't an excuse it is the truth.

When’s the last time everybody had all their players? I can’t remember

 

[John Agar]

He’s tiny.

More reason to be more direct... forecheck hard... fish the puck out... anticipate the puck to the net...

Screens... pucks to net... crashing the net after the shot...

Sweden has done this exact thing in this game and are up two goals because of it...

The country on a gold medal winning streak definitely needs to look inward and shake it up
