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

[Canadian Finn]

shoulder into the boards.

pretty normal hit.

 

[Master P]

Soft penalty

Shouldn't even be a penalty

 

[NeverForget06]

I say 2 minutes if anything

 

[Canucks LB]

Maybe a two minute penalty, no way that’s a major

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Should only be 2

 

[notbias]

Soft penalty

Agreed, I think it is soft and cowardly to hit someone from behind.

 

[fahad203]

Nothing more than 2

 

[MTU34]

Reverse the roles there and the Canadians in this thread would be whining about the Swedish player “not protecting himself” but now apparently that’s worthy of a 5 and game lmao

 

[macbowes]

Honestly, not that different from the hit that Celebrini delivered. Shouldn't be more than a 2 minute boarding, I don't think.

 

[HabSgt]

Beck down, Habs future erased by Sweden.

 

[stevo61]

Beck turned but the Swedish player still followed through. I kind of agree with Johnson on 2.

 

[Tiredswede]

Not a penalty

 

[Kiekura]

Dont f***ing turn your back like that.

2 min

 

[SUX2BU]

5

 

[Leafidelity]

His hands were literally on the numbers as he pushed him in

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Ouch that looked very painful. 2 mins, not 5 but hope Beck is alright. Awkward hit.

 

[NyQuil]

2 minutes.

 

[Panthaz89]

That's pretty much just boarding....

 

[MM917]

Every single year, the rest of the world gets to hear guys like you hypothesize about how Canada’s C team would win bronze. Then you tell us it’s a “fact” that you’d win this year w all your guys. In a one and done, it’s silly….

canada is always the favorite. Most of us acknowledge / concede that. But it’s not a God given fact.

And….whether you like it or not, the gap btw Canada and the States is closing.

Every year we hear about how the gap is closing and then we have a best on best tournament and it is shown that isn't the case, we have a WJHC where we don't have our best and it is shown not to be true.

It is a fact that we would win with our top guys, we have a good chance to win this tournament without 3 forwards better than any forwards any other country would have and arguably our top 3 defensemen. But keep living in a fantasy world where we wouldn't win.

 

[Alerion]

That's gotta be a major by IIHF standards. To the numbers, head into the boards first.

 

[Bounces R Way]

The refs really have a mime hand gesture for a tv screen indicating review?

 

[Frank the Tank]

He's on his strong side, has to receive the puck across his body. This is basic stuff lol.

I understand that and I'm saying he's still slower converting the pass to a shot than one would expect from a left shooting player in that spot on the PP. Eberle had the same problem earlier in his career

 

[Czechboy]

I'm suprised Beck is that injured to be honest. And I hate hits from behind and favor the Euro rules on it vs NHL.

 

[cc]

Not sure that should even be a penalty. Awkward hit but it looked legal

 

[Realgud]

Not a penalty
