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

[TheBeastCoast]

hey, still want to talk about Russia playing in the relegation?

I never said they would? Grow up.

 

[SoundAndFury]

Denisenko can dangle but it sure would be about time for him to learn something useful at men's level.

 

[Dominance]

Wake up or go home. These guys lost to the Czechs.

 

[GFY]

Byram keeps trying to throw reverse hits when it hasn't worked out for him a single time this game.

 

[kabidjan18]

Canada playing with a lot of spirit now. They will score at some point but will they score 4.

 

[NyQuil]

Heading into this game, Canadian media made it sound like Canada had an easy road ahead in clinching the top seed. It appears the team thought the same. Terrible effort by this team.

What they said was that the top seed was in their hands.

But whatever.

 

[Alerion]

Why was Daws even considered for the starters job? Yeah he's having a good year this year, but Hoffer has been good his entire junior career and so has Rodrigue

Goalies are always what have you done for me lately, I understand trying to ride the hot hand. Clearly it didn't work

 

[bagsw]

Wake up or go home. These guys lost to the Czechs.

well, that loss was just coincidence

 

[Emerz]

I just don’t see any “elite skill” from the Canadians, just trying to grind out a win. Surely one of these first round picks has got to have some puck skills.

 

[thaman8765678]

Lafreniere being gone means that's the end for team Canada. He was miles away their best player.

 

[Dack]

I worry about this group without Lafreniere. I think we're going to regret leaving some of the talent at home for team first guys.

 

[BiasedDuck16]

Make that another goal against that Smith was on the ice for.

Smith has an interesting way of controlling the game every time he steps on the ice, unless you meant he’s controlling the game for Russia.

He's been very unimpressive every time I have watched him.

 

[NyQuil]

Canada playing with a lot of spirit now. They will score at some point but will they score 4.

Again, it’s not about scoring 4 (which I doubt will happen - Russia is outnumbering Canada in their own zone and pressuring well), but rather Canada not allowing Russia to score any more.

 

[Snippit]

I just don’t see any “elite skill” from the Canadians, just trying to grind out a win. Surely one of these first round picks has got to have some puck skills.

Yeah the lack of puck skill today has been noticeable.

Russians have the puck on the string in comparison.

 

[Firsov99]

Russia wins so many puck battles. It’s kind of hard to believe. But it’s a round robin game though.

 

[Wintersun]

Denisenko can dangle but it sure would be about time for him to learn something useful at men's level.

Yeah, to me he is one of the worst russian forwards, even though he's probably one of the most skilled they have.

 

[dm1371]

Just tuned in, wtf is going on? Lafreniere injured?

 

[c9gunner]

I never said they would? Grow up.

Russia playing in the relegation was the exact point of the discussion. my point was that the only way Russia would go to the relegation is if they lose to Germany.

 

[Alerion]

I just don’t see any “elite skill” from the Canadians, just trying to grind out a win. Surely one of these first round picks has got to have some puck skills.

Last year's team was the same, they had the puck often but couldn't get into scoring areas or create chances.

 

[novisor]

Russia wins so many puck battles. It’s kind of hard to believe. But it’s a round robin game though.

They are playing with confidence and poise, Canada is scrambling.

 

[Advanced stats]

Hofer looks very good and will start the rest of the games imo.

 

[Fantomas]

The WJC is often a whirlwind. These players are so young that you can't count on anything.

Russia loses to the Czechs, who then lose to the Germans, and now Russia is kicking Canada's butt.

I'm hoping this game signals a breakthrough for Russia, but you can't count on that either.

 

[Emerz]

Yeah the lack of puck skill today has been noticeable.

Russians have the puck on the string in comparison.

Feels like a coaching thing to me, I’ve seen lots of these guys dangle around in junior like they’ve had the puck on a string.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Russia playing in the relegation was the exact point of the discussion. my point was that the only way Russia would go to the relegation is if they lose to Germany.

And I never said Russia would play in the relegation round....so again grow up and watch the game.

 

[AvatarAang]

You clearly have no idea what that expression means

Please then, explain to me how Smith is controlling the game when in my opinion he has played pretty bad (along with most of his teammates).

Because in my opinion, the only way you think he could be controlling the game is if you are a biased Devils fan. If I made a bad assumption then I apologize.

Looking forward to hearing your explanation!
