GDT: Canada Vs Switzerland | 12/29 @ 6PM ET | TSN/NHLN

[McDrai]

This Canadian team is missing something. Maybe it's just a star player such as a Lafreniere. They just seem to have troubles getting to the dirty areas and generating high danger chances...

 

[Tralfamadore]

Canada has zero players that stand out eye test wise like Zegras/Stutzle... their roster is loaded but no one stands out like those two yet tbh

That was supposed to be Dach. Should be Byfield. Cozens is the closest.

 

[thethirdhockeyman91]

Byfield hockey IQ is non existent.

Alexandre Daigle....

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Thanks to the ref and the camera

Thanks to the Russian PP being total ass is what I think you really mean! Common mix up though.

I completely agree with you.

 

[NyQuil]

Welp.

Canada has some work to do.

 

[jc17]

Everyone wants more offense, and points to the lack thereof as an example canada isn't as good as expected.

But holding lesser opponents to under 5 shots in periods is good. It's a 2 way game

 

[NJ DevLolz]

Wow look at Mercer on the forecheck on the PK. Such a complete player

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Canada struggling against bottom teams is concerning. Finland might be interesting tomorrow.

Goaltending has been pretty good too.

They haven’t played anyone good.

 

[Tanknation]

Byfield has the offensive acumen of Milan Lucic in this tournament

Was never a fan of him. I don't see him being a good NHL'er

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Love the way Mercer works

 

[McOvechking]

This team is playing like a team without a captain. I think stating "Dach is still our captain" is really going to bite them in the ass. The coaching staff should have handed the reigns over to someone like Cozens so there is a sense of leadership in the locker room.

 

[Jordan Belfort]

How does a team with this many first round picks just not be able to score

 

[Alerion]

Started out great and finished with a whimper. Seems like when they're hard on the forecheck they can create stuff but otherwise the skill isn't shining through just yet.

 

[jj cale]

Not a well oiled machine and not much time to become it.

 

[kudla]

I think Byfield will be a good 3rd-4th line center. He has always been good on breakaways where he uses his body and speed. But he simply lacks hockey IQ to be that game changer type of a player

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Really rough period for Byfield.

 

[Smif]

Canada always plays to the level of their competition.

 

[Zub]

This was supposed to be the best Canadian junior team ever? Kinda sucks what happened to Dach

 

[mackinnon29]

This team has played with the lead the whole tournament should be interesting if they fall behind, maybe that’s the kick they need for that other gear. They have been good but there’s a lot more to give if your team canada

 

[Rabid Ranger]

I wouldn't say they are struggling as they are controlling play. Not the most creative bunch though.

 

[McDrai]

This team really needs a Seth Jarvis

 

[Sonk]

These lines are a disaster
