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

[Billy Kvcmu]

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.

To be fair, the majority of Canadian hockey fans are leafs fans

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.

They’ve got deep pockets, their success is tied to a significant financial advantage.

 

[Passionis]

Russian team for 2022 is looking very scary.. And the rumour is 2004 2005 born kidd should be the best since bure mogilny fedorov days..

 

[NyQuil]

Canadian fans not to happy

I’d be concerned about the Canadian fan that is happy.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Just curious, who’s the last projected 2nd overall player to play as “meh” as Byfield has this tournament?

Went back over 10 years and the only one I found was Patrick who didn't go. But there's games to play. I don't know how many of those player didn't do anything against the best 2 teams in their pool.

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.

While Canadian fans do tend to get over emotional when it comes to this tournament I think it is safe to say that if they lose Lafreniere they won’t be bringing home a medal.

You mean the richest team in the CHL which illegally recruits good players with under the table payments?

 

[King Woodballs]

Total laziness by team canada. No heart. No fight. No wonder the Russians are kicking the shit out of you.
you should be completely embarrassed

It’s pretty disappointing that we put together a World Junior team that can’t handle the loss of one guy.

 

[saffronleaf]

Russia has been pretty impressive in shutting things down in the 3rd.

 

[ORRFForever]

His contract was renewed by TSN IIRC.

That's good news.

 

[NyQuil]

Clearly they have a lot of work to do, and I’m pretty sure they’re embarrassed.

Not a lot of insight here.

nah, the people losing their minds here should be embarrassed. Just cheer them on. They're kids. And the tournament is not over.

 

[NyQuil]

Yup, it would have been easy for them to relax with that lead.

 

[Canada4Gold]

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

Olivier Rodrigue

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

The Russian D core is very mobile, perhaps the best in terms of mobility among every teams in the WJC. Certainly a big change compare to their past teams

 

[Rob]

As it stands right now this will be the most lopsided loss in TC history at this tournament.

I’m just trying to remember the last time they were shutout? Maybe in ‘98 when the lost 4-0 to Sweden?

Patrick was hurt, IIRC.

 

[New User Name]

Interesting to see how the US handles Russia. Even though I'm rooting for Canada, the US team we beat earlier will not be the team Russia plays tomorrow.

 

[Bounces R Way]

One of the worst performances I've ever seen a Canadian national team turn in. Kudos to the Russians, defended very very well today and their goalie was good.

 

[King Woodballs]

Who is losing their minds? I am just posting my observation. I don’t care if they win the tourney or come in 8th

I don't remember the last time when Russia had such a solid D group.

 

[Peiskos]

How many years was that then?

Lmao what’s is your angle here? Canada has proven multiple times it can win on any continent. Juniors and men, have you forgotten the 2007 and 2008 World Juniors or 2014 Sochi and the men’s 2015 and 2016 IIHF tournaments already? Amongst many more.

Salt is unreal here

not just 3rd. 2nd too, for the most part.

 

[NyQuil]

One of the most impressive 60 minute performances I’ve ever seen by a Russian squad.

Have to give it up to the coaching too - they were extremely well prepared.

Russia is also on b2b so....
