GDT: Finland Vs Canada | 7:30PM ET | Group A - Canadian Tire Centre

[TheBeastCoast]

Canada's coaching staff are complete muppets, they really think Cowan, Bonk, Howe, Ritchie should get first PP minutes over Martone, McKenna, Schaeffer and Yager.

God help me with the people who run Team Canada.

Cowan and Ritchie have both been great tonight. The other two have no business there.

 

[jj cale]

The Bonk experience on the power play was fun. A couple of ugly turnovers. TSN bragging earlier that he plays the bumper in the OHL, so not even the same spot. Back to Schaefer and Molendyk please.

And right now.

 

[Mitch nylander]

Great first line shift.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

True but there is no way Howe and Bonk belong there.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

True but there is no way Howe and Bonk belong there.

Yeah absolutely those two need to be swapped out.

I've always really liked Ritchie but I would just like to see him be a little more assertive walking pucks straight to the net. Gets a bit settled into being a playmaker at times (not that he isn't a great playmaker)

 

[1989]

First line for Canada really has dynamic, quick decision makers and powerful skaters.
Not too much in the way of selfish hero hockey yet.

 

[Mathieukferland]

Not Cataford for McKenna on the second line

 

[NordiquesForeva]

I’ve gotta say Martone hasn’t been impactful at all, I’m somewhat disappointed in him so far (and that’s going back to the pre tournament games)

 

[jj cale]

camerons sticking with the set up..............for gods sake.

 

[OilersFanatics505]

Probably should let the game finish.

Doesn't negate how he played up until that point. I owned up to it that he turned it around already.

 

[potatowejj]

This Bonk dude ain't it.

 

[Woodrow]

Get Bonk out of there.

 

[Jordan Belfort]

someone get 5 off the power play.

 

[ORRFForever]

Bonk is having the worst period of his life.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Dear Dave,

Stop trying to prove you’re smarter than everyone,

Sincerely,

Canada

I'd prefer to see Dickinson.

Give me a PP1 of:

Martone (in front)
Cowan (left Flank), (Mckenna in the middle), Ritchie (right flank)
Schaefer (QB)

and then

Luchanko
Yager - Catton - Nadeau
Dickinson

 

[JPeeper]

How the hell did Bonk make this team over Parekh?

Even if I could ignore that fact, it's not like Dickenson leads the OHL in goals and points for d-men.

This is why you're not in the NHL Cameron you dunce.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Bonk can’t be on the first PP unit.

Poor passes, poor puck control, doesn’t seem natural walking the line. His plays are easily telegraphed. Very obvious shit.

 

[OttersFan]

I wonder if they kept Bonk/Cowan together because of the London connections but it’s not working.

 

[Mitch nylander]

Should be Dickinson there instead.

 

[VeteranPresence]

Play dies when not on Cowan’s stick.
Play dies when not on Catton’s stick.
Play dies when not on McKenna’s stick.

It’s almost like offensive players create offensive plays and grinders/pluggers do not. Weird how that works.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Well executed play and a big save.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

2nd unit has looked good. Get Molenyk or Dickinson on that 1st unit ASAP.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Molendyk is an effortless, smooth skater.
