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

[Firsov99]

It is a typical russian international hockey. They start scrums over nothing all the time. Bullying strategy.

I don’t know. I see the same stuff from pretty much every team in the defensive zone.

 

[Fantomas]

Byfield looks terrible, big and soft. Really disappointed by what I’m seeing from him.

He's very young. People forget that, even though they're in the same draft, there's almost a year's difference in the ages of Lafreniere and Byfield.

 

[Goulet17]

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

No, not really, it is more than that.

 

[robertocarlos]

NA game needs larger rinks.

 

[NyQuil]

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

That’s why goal differential shouldn’t count.

Do you think Canadians really enjoy beating Denmark 14-0?

 

[Get North]

I’m not embarrassed by this team. I still feel okay about this team, they can get better and they are still playing hard down 5 goals.

 

[heynowbababooey]

I can't recall Canada getting pounded this badly at the WJC. Anyone?

They lost 5-1 in the semis against USA in 2013.

 

[NyQuil]

Yikes, this could be historic.

What’s the highest goal differential between these teams?

 

[FlyerNutter]

Russians just looks outright faster and more skilled than the Canadians

Canada has been overthinking the selection process for a while.

I simply cannot believe this is the group of highest skill kids available. Far too much stock is put into 200foot play/intangibles.

 

[Jacob]

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.

It's not like they're reading these posts.

 

[tictactoe]

wide open.

wow 6 zero.

 

[canuckking1]

Canada legit looking like Lativa right now.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Mercy rule

 

[JoemAvs]

Good game by Russia, but why are they acting like it's the championship game ?

They had a players only meeting after losing to the Czech of all teams (that just lost to Germany deservedly so). They are beyond pissed and in full on desperation mode and the Canadians clearly didn't expect it and so far are completely unable to handle it...

 

[Todd Parchment]

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

No they do not.

 

[Sheppy]

She gone

 

[DuklaNation]

Russia has earned the 5-0 lead, they were the aggressors in the game. Lot of comments here are disappointing. Its like people here know nothing about hockey.

Re: Byram, 18 and half yrs old. If you can't see the obvious talent, you're blind. Defensively he needs more experience and to get a little stronger. He should really be on the top PP with Addison. Not a fan of 4 forward unit with this roster.

 

[Alerion]

They lost 5-1 in the semis against USA in 2013.

Yeah, I remember that game....this feels worse.

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

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.

Somehow this tournament brings out the worst in people. Even worse than olympics or men’s worlds. And it’s kids.

 

[ffh]

Now we know why the 1st goalie was the starter

 

[Garl]

I don’t know. I see the same stuff from pretty much every team in the defensive zone.

Nah, russians are quite notorious for this. I guess, it is the way their coaching works.

 

[Kent Nilsson]

Holy shit

 

[JJTT]

Oh canada

 

[Tralfamadore]

No, not really, it is more than that.

Well certainly hasn't/wasn't been the case in this tournament or in training camp/preseason.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

This might just be the biggest blowout these two teams have ever had.
