[NyQuil]

Who's player of the game for Canada? Honest question.

Foudy?

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

start hofer vs germany to see how he does I guess.. just no more daws please... wouldn't mind giving oliver kid a shot either he's played for Canada at other tournaments before.

One bad game doesn't end the tournament. One bad game doesn't mean these players are ruined. Losing one player, even Lafreniere, doesn't mean there's no hope. Losing one game doesn't mean the coach or national team are terrible. Everything can still be fine.

Canadian fans always lose their minds the first time Canada loses. The Canadian government should hand out little packets of Xanax or something.

 

[Alerion]

Foudy?

He's probably been their more noticeable player. Cozens is the only other guy I can remember making a couple decent plays.

They get too excited when they win and too morose when they lose.

It’s like we all turn into Leafs fans.

Round robin game - but clearly there are some glaring flaws on our team that will have to be addressed.

Losing this game isn't the end of the world. Losing Lafreniere might be though.

Lafreniere by virtue of not being on the bench for most of this mess...

 

[Heldig]

Is Canada only playing 3rd and 4th lines now?

 

[Hockey Stick]

I guess 10 goals against through 5 periods is what happens when you cut the best goalie from your camp

 

[ORRFForever]

Every team usually has a BAD game in this tournament. All too often recently, Canada has waited until the playoff rounds to <bleep> the bed. I'm glad it is happening NOW.

There are no more byes and the playoff round is all but guaranteed so...

Let's PLEASE RELAX!!!

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.

You're either ignorant or being intentionally obtuse. The fact that you started commenting on the second GA where he had nothing to do with it leads me to believe it's the former. At the time of my comment, he was controlling play. He was pretty much the only dman who was making good outlet passes and was commanding on the puck in the offensive zone.

The Hunters are dinosaurs, other programs are finally integrating more intelligent ways of playing hockey, which the Hunters will never be able to do.

Hockey Canada needs to adapt.

Assuming cap didn't count.. you could win a Stanley Cup with current former London Knights in the NHL... Knights produce first rounders every year... I can't think of a more successful Junior program in that regard....

Hunter(s) are phenomenal coaches/GMs/Builders... especially in Junior hockey:

Tavares, Kadri, Kane, Tkachuk, McMichael, Dvorak, Carlson etc.

 

[Black Kevin]

Absolute disgrace.

It’s like there’s only one guy on the ice at a time.

Is this Bob McKenzie's final world juniors?

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Is this Bob McKenzie's final world juniors?

Nope he signed a new contract a few months ago.

 

[tellermine]

Ah. Ruskies have some soft hads and good sticks!
Some good hockey they play! As team!

 

[NyQuil]

His contract was renewed by TSN IIRC.

Looking great out there today.

 

[Blueboy]

They've needed to adapt for a few years and really haven't.

Hockey Canada is like the Edmonton Oilers. Old boys club. It isn't a coincidence that one of the top guys of the Oilers was once one of the top guys of Hockey Canada.

Yup, it’s been a long time coming for something different. The talent is there for Canada to win gold every year, of course things happen and that’s not entirely realistic, but this team should consistently be better.

The player selection, usage and team systems are flawed.

 

[Fantomas]

Nope he signed a new contract a few months ago.

Oh, I thought he was retiring next summer. That's good.

 

[New User Name]

LOL

 

[Master P]

Canadian fans not to happy

 

[NyQuil]

Refs have actually been pretty good compared with that hilarious GER-CZE game.
