GDT: Game 10: Canada Vs Russia | 1PM EST 7PM CET | RUS 6 - 0 CAN

[Filthy Dangles]

I don’t mind Country Music but the music during breaks and commercials is just awful. TSN should just play the standard IIHF/Hockey Canada tune, timeless classic I could listen to all day and I’m not even Canadian.

 

[Juniorhockeyguru]

I have faith we can win this game.

If they don't, oh well. Life goes on.

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

And as an Avs fan I don't quite understand the Byram hate in here. His hitting hasn't gone as planned to say the least but aside from that he was probably better than atleast 3 other guys on that blueline this period...

As a top 5 pick who isnt in the NHL one would expect him to dominate this tourney, not be just better than Bahl or McIsaac in this game.

 

[Canada4Gold]

*saves the tournament*

He's the 3rd goalie. He's not even dressed for this game, and Canada will likely be out before both the other goalies screw up so bad they give him a chance.

 

[Cellee]

I disagree with the TSN guys about keeping Daws in.

Agreed

 

[Alerion]

I disagree with the TSN guys about keeping Daws in.

I kind of get it, Daws caused 2 of those goals but the team also laid an egg, no sense destroying your #2's confidence behind a garbage effort. If the team wakes up but Daws doesn't, I'd expect the change to be made. If Canada sucks for the rest of the game then you switch goalies for the next game and Daws is probably done for the tournament.

 

[NyQuil]

Russia caught Canada napping in that first period.

Good on them.

I’m curious to see how Canada responds. It will say a lot about how they finish in this tournament.

More so than the actual end result of this game.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

He looks like it, spotting that sub .800 save percentage.

I just think in a short tournament like this you go with the guy who’s been there before.

I am not saying Daws is playing well but tossing in a goalie who can't put even put up a .910 in the CHL is not something I would feel good about doing. How he did in 3 games at the U-18 matters a lot less to me then how they have played the last 3 months.

 

[Mikeshane]

The period didn't really feel that bad tbh. Canada didn't do enough with their offensive zone possessions and the 1st Russian goal was a fluky one, 2nd was blown net front coverage and the 3rd was bad goaltending.

I'd like to see Canada get more aggressive going to the net with the puck.

 

[tictactoe]

taller maybe

no.. that one is for sure.

 

[ovikovy817]

Is there challenges in WJC?

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Is there challenges in WJC?

Yup.

 

[Todd Parchment]

Is there challenges in WJC?

Yes the games have many in them. Players fighting for every inch of ice.

 

[Bgav]

They don’t have a lot of time to make those calls.

**** happens.

Tsn said they had plenty of time after the goal. It’s really inexcusable it’s so obvious he’s offside

Yeah I agree with you. Everybody knew the Russians were going to come out and play like a house on fire.

16 SOG for team Russia. vs 7-8 SOG for Canada?

 

[Passionis]

Canada vastly superior?? Lol.. Clearly not! The days of struggling corrupt Russian hockey is long over, dudes.. Time to wake up.
when on equal terms both teams are equally competitive

I just think that international hockey is made up of a short tournament and few games and you don’t have time to be nice.

It’s not about building up a goalie’s confidence like over an 82 game season or even a 7 game series.

Joseph got pulled after one game in 2002 and Brodeur was the beneficiary.

Then in 2010, it’s Brodeur who gets taken out and Luongo is put in.

It’s not personal, it’s just international hockey.

Ok.

 

[McClelland]

Huuh! How the F could this Russian team lose to the czechs,must be slowstarters! Cant see any team stop them,but its only 1 game in the finals though.

 

[Bgav]

Canada is going to get a bunch of power plays in the 2nd period. If there is one thing I don’t like about these tourneys is that the refs will always go out of their way to make the game more interesting. CZE/GER today was a clear example with all the ridiculous penalties on the Germans. Although i guess that is what makes this tourney fun to watch so who am i to complain.

What? Russia had a 5 on 3 while up 3 nothing

 

[Deen]

That was bloody embarassing.

 

[mazmin]

Missed offside calls show Team Canada staff is out to lunch.

Daws looks like rec league today.

But a 3 goal deficit can be chipped away at. Canada needs to shift the ice with a quick goal in the 2nd.

I felt like Canada did not have a lot of puck poise under the Russian pressure and were throwing the puck around without a great deal of control.

 

[Snippit]

Hayton has not impressed at 5v5. Unlike Veleno.
