Canadian coach what were you thinking!

[pkazzz]

I am baffled as to why Canada had Conner Bedard on the bench with a three on three situation. In ten minutes of OT they should have got a whistle and had three on three. You have a hockey phenom sitting on the bench chomping at the bit and you sit him. Totally unacceptable. The match ups were a no brainer. I blame the coach for his inaction.

Bedard was not ready for the WC and it showed. Good luck to him in the future.

I thought it was a great game.

Didn't watch the wc really. But what happens

Didn't watch the wc really. But what happens

Bedard was easily moved off the puck and didn't play well. He's 18 so...

There was so little 3 on 3 in OT due to the two powerplays and lack of whistles.

This is how I pretty much screen out people who didn’t watch the game.

Phenom or not, Bedard looked like a young 18 year old totally gassed from a long rookie season. He’s amazing but nobody is superman.

2 pts in 5 games vs top competition Canada faced (FIN, CZE, SVK and SWI x2).

I agree. Canada should have found a way to stop play so they could play more 3 on 3. There were so few whistles in the O.T. You get it down to 3 on 3 and then give Bedard some space.

Having said that, it was exciting.

I think the Swiss had good skaters and it wouldn’t necessarily be to our benefit.

I think the coach did really well with Bedard this tournament. He had a painful stretch and they got him refocused on his game. But he was a liability away from the puck and OT would have just exasperated it. Lose your man and it’s over. You can’t just look at him and say well..his pedigree and the player he will be…he wasn’t good enough to earn the ice. It’s not the end of the world. He will be for a long long time. Just wasn’t now.

i did watch the game and the last two minutes of OT was 3 on 3. You put Bedard out there with all of that space. Also why not Tavares and Paul in the shootout?
































totally on the coach for this loss

 

[Canfly]

All of the posters that think Bedard should not be out on the ice 3 on 3 do not understand that he creates offence which they had none of at the end of the OT. Plus the coach kept putting out two defenceman at the end.

That’s what it took to join the forums, and create a thread. Welcome then, and enjoy.
hope it’s not a burner.

You might be right. Still, I'd give our guys (including Bedard) more of a chance 3 on 3.

The pwhl finals have more meaning than this tourney. Not sure why people are questioning what happened

In NA ya,
Not so much the other side of the pond, it’s the biggest hockey event of the year.

Not for me.

Being a sens fan you have no choice

We don't all have the luxury of landing first overall picks over and over again until we get a generational player.

He put 2 defencemen out when it was 4 on 4. Most of the OT was either on pp or pk or 4 on 4 following it.

I mean have fun watching a tourney with 1/3 of best team rosters

I enjoy it every year, as I have since 1986.

Why are you even here?

Popped up in my feed. And I luv to make fun of a Mickey Mouse tourney

Mission accomplished. See you next year.

 

[Canfly]

The last two minutes was three on three with two defencemen, read what I posted. Are you related to the coach or you think that it is best to play defensive hockey when you there is that much space out there. You go for the win not a shootout and why no Tavares or Nick Paul in the shootout?

 

[Golden_Jet]

Who cares about that side? The big dollars are here

You seem to care about the world championships, or you would of done a drive by on the thread, let alone go into the World Championships sub-forum.

 

[Golden_Jet]

Popes up on main feed boy

So doesn’t answer the question, why no drive by, it doesn’t force you to open everything.

 

[NyQuil]

You go for the win not a shootout and why no Tavares or Nick Paul in the shootout?

Nick Paul is 0 for 1 in his career in terms of shootout percentage.

John Tavares is 1 for 10.

Owen Power is 2 for 4.

Damon Severson is 5 for 9.
