[Quality Oil]

We want 10

 

[Mehar]

Have watched this tournament for two decades, and cannot remember a Team Canada looking so awful on the ice. Hope they wake
up against Germany on Monday.

 

[c9gunner]

ok, it's even funny anymore

 

[mazmin]

I woke up at 3am in Korea to watch this pathetic attempt. Switching to Sweden-Switzerland because I woke up for a hockey game, not THIS.

 

[Todd Parchment]

Canadian goalies. Bum bum.

Russians just looks outright faster and more skilled than the Canadians

they certainly are completely out everything them today

 

[Heldig]

Russians just looks outright faster and more skilled than the Canadians

And stronger.

 

[Michael Brand Eggs]

Veleno has to be one of the most overrated prospects I've seen in quite awhile.

aaand 5-0

Did you miss game 1 or something? Jesus, people have short memories.

Somewhere Putin is smiling

[SashaSemin28]

Incredible

Aside from the one huge misfortune, the Lafreniere injury, this game has actually been really nice. Good play by both sides, the Canadians woke up a bit late.

I hope we have a rematch of this later in the tournament and I think it'll be a much closer game. I had these two teams as the favorites, and we're seeing now that neither team can really bully the other team out of the game.

Let Romanov get one.

Also, Hockey Canada you really have to learn to develop goalies.

 

[GlassesJacketShirt]

Worst Team Canada performance I've seen in some time. This is a de-pantsing.

 

[Get North]

Kevin bahl got pushed to his goalie by a Russian. Isn’t that interference?

 

[Garl]

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.

He is also like 6'5 220 lbs. And really, its not the first time he looks underwhelming at international level

 

[Goulet17]

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

It was the case in training camp.

 

[Kaizer]

Someone, call the police. We have a massacre here.

 

[NyQuil]

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

In general, Canada makes such a huge deal out of the WJC because of the history with TSN.

It wasn’t always like this until the 1990s when a sports network with no hockey rights turned it into a holiday tradition.

 

[Atomos2]

Ugh...somebody end the madness. There should be a mercy rule

 

[canucksfan]

This is awesome.

 

[Todd Parchment]

*becomes a Canadian hero*

He won’t even play a game

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

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.

Left a guy like Rees at home who is having one of the best offensive seasons in the entire chl and is an incredibly hard working two-way player.

Not that one guy would make a difference today but still, they always make some odd selections.

 

[Firsov99]

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

Maybe. And only two penalties in this game so far.
