He sets up guys and they miss the net or put it into the crest, all these high-scoring players are coming up empty. Not every game is going to be against Latvia. Just look at that breakaway they missed, Savoie deked himself out.
I don't think he was bad but he didn't make any great saves, largely because Sweden didn't force him to. I don't blame him on either goal. If you have to give it to someone sure he gets it but with the way they played I would have liked to see the statement made that nobody gets it with a zero effort performance like that.
This makes me miss HFboards despite the cancer the new website gives all my devices.

No, people pick on him because the second he gets puck, you know we are not scoring a goal. I know he’s your boy, but tbh he’s shit. Worst captain we’ve had some f***ing Comtois

Smart to base a 19 year old on one game with zero goals scored when no forward played well.
Thought it was more how often he has to dust the puck off on the PP. He couldn't get things to the net quickly, then had the fumble to Mateychuk that the Swedes broke back on the breakaway.
Jordan Dumais is a perfect example of why you don’t take the Quebec League seriously.
Kalpa Kuopio is even in yellow so we can pretend it's Sweden!

Minten wears #12... it was his pass.
It feels like he's miscast in the role. Good checker, not an offensive player for PP1.
So the people reviewing the play are "everyone"? Do you think there has never ever been a review which resulted in a bad decision?

People didn't start picking on him until this game. When no one scored any goals against a team that hasn't given up a goal against yet. Makes perfect sense, you need a fall guy.

Swedes deserved the game, they defended well and did not panic around the net. Canada forced passes that were not there and didn't go to the hard areas.
Having had to work through every GDT, he's certainly had a lot of criticism aimed his way prior to today. Again, I don't think it does him any favors being asked to do the things he's being asked to do.
He was nowhere near the best forward and would be in the running for worst forward of the game and tournament so far. Part of this might not be his fault as he is being forced on to the top line and top PP where he isn't good enough to be, but he has wasted so many chances for the better players with how long he takes to make a decision. It has been killing the PP.
Overall I would say Poitras has been the most disappointing because he is actually good so should be expected to do something but pointing out the fact that Minten has been bad isn't piling on it is just what is happening out there.
