GDT: Canada vs USA, Group A, Dec 31 2024; 20:00 EST

[Orfieus]

I know they are just kids but if Canada keeps on running around like mindless children they are going to lose

You must know no about Piestany

I know about Piestany. Just don't want it to go there even though the game has gotten chippy and Cole Beaudoin protecting his own turf.

 

[Oilslick941611]

Theres something phoney about the intensity of this game, its almost like they are fighting each other and not liking each other because that whats they are supposed to do, rather than a genuine hatred. Like a child hating a neighbour because the parents dont like each other. Maybe im wrong, but it feels...forced.

 

[CpatainCanuck]

Canada was the better team, stupid Power Play

Canada skated with the USA and had more shots, but really had very few good chances. Mostly muffin shots from the outside. Still haven’t seen any really impressive skill from this team.

 

[landy92mack29]

This is the compete level canada should've had the previous 3 games. At this point it's on cameron for neutering the offense. I've never seen Molendyk, Yager, Price and others this non existent offensively

 

[fahad203]

Happens every year. One of the things I miss with Russia not being here, so much feistiness

Any hockey tournament without Russia is World Cup Soccer without Argentina
Feels something is missing and lacking

I mean what's not to like about Kazakstan

 

[Bixby Snyder]

Canada can't win with skill so they gotta goon it up.

I think this is the first time the 05s have faced each other in competition. They didn't play at last years WJC or at the U18 WJC in 2023.

Ehhh fake emotions usually stop after the whistle. The chirping in the box and Hutsons celly make me think it's genuine dislike.

 

[rocketman588]

lol at the shot totals.....not that it really matters but maybe the person hitting the button should do a better job.

Americans have hit two posts which don't count as shots they haven't really gotten much on goal but what they have has been dangerous

 

[francis246]

That was one of the best first periods I can remember in a long time. Canada’s got to get more puck on net though, a little too much on the perimeter

 

[PROUD PAPA]

Loving this one so far!

 

[CrazyJoeDavola]

Imagine if we had Cristall, Sennecke, Hage, Parekh, Yakemchuk


I hope HC is happy with this roster full of useless Curtis Lazars and the dinosaur coach pick.

A lot of these kids have played in a bunch of tournaments, or league play against each other.


Molendyk has been bad in the first period.

Had a chance to clear and gave the puck away and fumbled it a few times.

If not him, whomever number 6 is

ANyone who thinks otherwise, isn't paying attention.

 

[hockey20000]

Canada will win 5-3.

you expect this offence to score 5 goals vs any top team ? lol

 

[lawrence]

Mkenna should get more ice time. Instead of giving ice time to the "older" players give it to the best players.

but we call this, guys.

 

[miscs75]

Hot take Cowan is a career AHLer at best.

He’ll be a great regular season player for the Leafs and MIA come the 2nd round of the playoffs.

 

[Stelmacki]

Americans have been getting away with lots, you can see the refs losing control

I guess Lots = 1 more thing than what Canadians are getting away with.

 

[5 14 6 1]

Canada has negative offensive ability

 

[Oilslick941611]

I think this is the first time the 05s have faced each other in competition. They didn't play at last years WJC or at the U18 WJC in 2023.

all the more reason why it feels forced.

 

[Jussi]

If Finland had played against Canada like they did against the US, Canada would have two losses already.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

That just about sums it up lol Canada with 0's in rush, slot and cycle chances.

 

[PanniniClaus]

What did Rehkop and Eiserman get for TOI?

 

[AirGut]

god I love these games
