GDT: Canada Vs USA pre tournament GDT 12noon ET

[jj cale]

Just keep sending out 6 skaters. ;-)

I like our chances of doing just that.

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

I like our chances of doing just that.

That's why they have pre-tournament games.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Pretty wild there was no call on that hit on Poitras.

 

[jj cale]

St Hillaire looks like a giant compared to Rousseau in there, I feel better already.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Whew what a shift there

 

[Dominance]

Pretty wild there was no call on that hit on Poitras.

I appreciate the refs preparing the boys for how it will inevitably be in the real tournament games

 

[Ace]

Ratzlaff gonna end up the goalie by never playing.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Just go get your stick. lol

 

[Canucks LB]

Fantastic goal

 

[Jukurit]

Total domination by USA that shift.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Pretty wild there was no call on that hit on Poitras.

Clean hit no doubt

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

Canada playing with 4-1/2 skaters there with Geekie having no stick.

 

[Scouter]

Well they changed the goalie, looks like maybe St-Hilaire isn't the guy either.

 

[Smif]

Our defense is the opposite of solid.

 

[Obvious Fabertism]

Moore gets one on a snipe from the circles after a long stretch in the Canada zone, pretty great control out of the US team in the 2nd.

 

[jj cale]

4-2, ok, let's get a goalback boys, you have been playing allright today, improvement.

 

[2014nyr]

Clean hit no doubt

right. you can't turn at the very last second and expect a call

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Clean hit no doubt

In the NHL? Never gets called. In IIHF? Usually does.

I dunno, that was a push from the side that looked much worse because Poitras turned during the hit.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Augustine with somewhat leaky rebound control since coming in...but coming in cold is always tough.

 

[2014nyr]

pre-tournament game only provides so much insight as it is, but the nature of the way a pre tourny game is played would seem to favor the us team based on how the teams are built. canada in a meaningful game with the added emotion and physicality is an entirely different animal.

 

[Mooche]

Magic hands by Savoie there. Sheesh.

 

[Obvious Fabertism]

Nice combo play on the PP for Canada, Savoie finishes in tight.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Yeah I mean I am not saying it should be a major or anything crazy...but I have watched enough international hockey to know that hit is a penalty a lot of the time.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Nasty hands from Savoie
