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

You clearly have no idea what that expression means

Yet another goal that Smith did not control the game and let Russia score. Is that 3 goals he’s been on the ice for? I’ve lost track.

But again you’re probably right, I have no idea what I’m talking about. I’m still waiting for your explanation by the way, I’m really curious as to how Smith is controlling the game every time he steps on the ice tonight.

 

[Tralfamadore]

Looking quite soft in this game.

And it's not even this game specifically. Every time I've seen him play he's extraordinarily unimpressive.

 

[Czechboy]

We want 10! We want 10!

LOL.. I assume this is a reference to the Danish game last year. Poor Danes aren't even in the tournament anymore.

 

[tictactoe]

this is 1st good Canadian shift in a long time.

 

[StutzlingAway]

TEST THE RUSSIANS!

In all seriousness they are absolutely dominating this game. Their goalie also looks really comfortable in goal.

 

[mazmin]

I’m getting high ankle sprain vibes, which is bad too.

High ankle sprain is ankle eversion under high force which I didn’t see.

In the replay his femur moved medially and tib/fib moves laterally while simultaneously falling on his knee. For his sake I hope I’m wrong. MCL + ACL + Medial meniscus together is worst case scenario but the mechanism of injury is there.

 

[Fantomas]

Well, adversity could be good if this Canadian team is going to go anywhere.

That's always the silver lining to losing early in the tournament.

I had the same thought when Russia lost its first game to the Czechs. If you're gonna get slapped, get slapped early. And then get mad.

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

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!

Smith is to blame on the tip in goal, other than that one was a garbage goal his goaltender should have had off a McIsaac turnover, the next McIsaac was getting popcorn in the 10th row, the next one Byram got walked.

 

[Todd Parchment]

This is the result of top Canadians and Americans joining the NHL while other nations have players who develop i their own leagues or juniors longer who have access to the tournament. Also Canada’s lack of talent recently. Getting worse and worse. Never have a goalie and half the defense is trash at best.

 

[NyQuil]

I am Canadian and I love seeing the smug and arrogant Canadians get humiliated.

They came back very strong after a terrible opening 10 minutes against the US but they look utterly outmatched today.

They’re just kids out there.

I don’t like seeing anyone get humiliated.

We make way too big a deal out of a tournament for children and young adults.

 

[Tralfamadore]

It's one of his strengths actually. He is as strong as or stronger on his skates than Makar at the same age.

Maybe when he's playing 16/17/18 year olds in the WHL.

 

[habsterr]

Who picked this team Canada?

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Name one player on Canada you wouldn't cut tonight after this game if you could.

 

[canuckking1]

Somewhere Putin is smiling

 

[Bileur]

Lot of strange passes on the power play.

A lot of cycling near the blue line, not sure what passing lanes they expect will open that way.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Russians just looks outright faster and more skilled than the Canadians

 

[Do Make Say Think]

They’re just kids out there.

I don’t like seeing anyone get humiliated.

We make way too big a deal out of a tournament for children and young adults.

Oh not the kids, I mean on HF. The only team that has actual arrogance issues is Russia.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

You have a really good d-man there in Drysdale, yet your coach rather ice's Byram.... even thou he sucks.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Name one player on Canada you wouldn't cut tonight after this game if you could.

Easy. Daws.

 

[Emerz]

Byfield really doesn’t do anything, he may as well not be playing. How is he such a force in the OHL? I expected a flash of anything but he’s invisible.

 

[Heldig]

Everything going Russia's way today. Good positioning by Smith, just lightly touches the Russian's stick.

That was terrible positioning by Smith.

and you base this on one game? get real. Canada has a lot of talent and so does Russia.

 

[Master P]

Kinda hard to feel sorry for canada when they've had games like this before

 

[supermann_98]

Need to just put this on repeat for the rest of the game

Best game ever

 

[NyQuil]

Oh not the kids, I mean on HF.

The same people who talk a big game conveniently disappear when a loss happens.

Meanwhile, posters like me show up, win or lose, year after year.

It makes one a little more diplomatic.

 

[Leafidelity]

How many more Hunters do we have to go through before we try something else?
