You'll hear boos now!!

What's better than boos? Silence!

Everybody is a tough guy in this tournament because they're protected.

Protected by what

 

[fahad203]

Why is Cowan getting so much ice time? Dickinson's offensive ability is grossly overrated.

I thought Dickinson is a skating D, like someone who can rush
He seems really slow

 

[mikeyz]

And some people were saying we didn’t need Bedard or Celebrini for offensive firepower before this tournament started. Lol.

 

[canucksfan]

Americans have hit two posts already

 

[Richter915]

lots of talent but they do not gel at all.

Then why did they leave the most talented Canadian forward and dman off the squad?? Makes no sense. HC claimed this would be the best team but clearly not the case. So foolish.

 

[fahad203]

Ritchie needed to shoot that himself

Buium has Israeli heritage.

I know it's been said before, but this Canadian team is cheeks. I've never seen such a lacklustre, untalented team in wearing the maple leaf. I legit feel like I'm watching one of the smaller European nations wearing TC uniforms.

 

[Richter915]

Two posts already ughhhh

 

[Master P]

Feels like a USA PP

 

[LastOne2100]

Team USA is significantly better in the first.

Fighting gets you kicked out of the game and potentially more.

I'm sure because it's IIHF if you absolutely beat the brakes off someone you'll get more more than likely.

Of course assuming both dudes are willing combatants.

 

[al secord]

Buium has Israeli heritage.

That name sounds made up.

 

[Golden_Jet]

There's one Canadian dman who would. But he's not here. Weird.

Ya should of had Yakemchuk,

 

[Oilslick941611]

i feel like Hockey Canada tried to be too clever this year with roster selection. I dont know it was hubris or cockiness. Leaving so much skill at home while this team struggles to score will definitely be looked at after the tournament.

it also looks the shot selection against Latvia was not a fluke. This is who they are.

 

[fahad203]

McKenna needs more ice time

 

[DuklaNation]

US is outplaying Canada. Easy to keep mediocre offense outside on perimeter.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Feels like they have a bunch of passengers but no drivers. Like Cowan would be a ideal 3rd wheel on a top line. But he is being asked to drive offense on a top line and I just don't think that is any good.

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

lots of talent but they do not gel at all.

its a shame they didn't pick any guys who were teammates in junior who could score!

 

[Tobias Kahun]

What's better than boos? Silence!

Like most American stadiums, they’ll love that.

 

[hockey20000]

bonk looked l ike he was moving in quick sand lol

Slow for jr. Hockey but could out skate any poster on here!

Pounder picked Canada to win .she is a babe but not a good prognosticator

 

[Richter915]

McKenna needs more ice time

Yup not sure why he's being sheltered. Cameron should not be coaching this squad.
