PGT: Game 13: Canada 5 - Czech Republic 1

[WingsMJN2965]

Surprised no one is talking about how invisible Filip Zadina has been.

Can only carry trash line mates for so long.

He’s playing pro....he likely couldn’t care less about this tourney....especially being on a team that is at best a longshot to medal.

I cant see that, as he could have just declined and stayed with the team he was playing for if he didnt care about being here.

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

Good defensive play in the corner by Bouchard or did I see something different?

What??? They hit a post short handed and get got the puck back against a dead tired PK'er. Nothing note worthy. He is doing what one would expect of him 100 times in a game.

 

[Cult of Hynes]

So what are the odds Comtois decides to dive again while Canada is up 5-1?

 

[Legend123]

so while Dobson looked like complete horseshit in the pre-games, Hes been great in the real games and Bouchard has really laid multiple eggs out there. As a result, im very concerned for the later stages. No dman has shown he can be relied upon game after game. The best Dman overall have been Dobson, Brook and Mitchell. Hopefully, one of them 3 can step up and dominate.

And shoutout to: Zadina. Literally. He has also looked awful. Wake up dude.

Edit: Smith, not Mitchell. My bad. But Mitchell has looked good as well.

I don’t know how Czech Hockey is...but if it’s anything like Hockey Canada.....you don’t say no, ever, due to political reasons and long term ramifications for future teams such as the olympics etc

Shh can't argue with the narrative people decide to have. They see what they want to see.

 

[jj cale]

Lol not even close. A punch to the face is not the same as a jumping elbow into the face.

Dont worry about our team, worry about yours.

that should be your focus, not coming into a Canada game thread just to stir shit because you hate us.

 

[czechmate]

Canadians just gotta be careful to stay healthy. Czechs are playing a bit dirty and they are pissed off, they don't have much to play for.

That is a bit biased. There have been embellishments on both sides.

 

[WingsMJN2965]

Wish Detroit never loaned Zadina to this **** show team

If I'd known they were gonna put him on a line with plug 1 and plug 2 I'd have said keep him in the AHL.

Zadina has also looked awful.

Are you insane?? Smith has been by far the best defensmen tonight. Defensively, on the breakout, in the neutral zone and in the offensive zone.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Zadina has been really bad. Playing like he doesn't care.

 

[Claypool]

Remind me to never take coaching advice from Lindy Ruff.

 

[CycloneSweep]

Shh can't argue with the narrative people decide to have. They see what they want to see.

What narrative? He made a routine defensive play, doesn't make up for the rest of his game.

man i just said hes been among the best for TC for the entire tourny thus far.
Edit: i meant him over Mitchell. lol my bad

You must not know a lot about the teams in this tournament if you think they’re a long shot to medal. Usually they are but not this year, this year they have a legitimate chance.

"Then again you guys give the C to a guy that deserves an oscar for the dives he gives when up 14-0 against Denmark."

Your comment doesn't mean much and nobody should see it how you do if they aren't biased, which you clearly are. Czechs have at least 2-3 dirty hits this game, while you can name 1 for Canada.

That is a bit biased. There have been embellishments on both sides.

Not talking about embellishments. I'm talking about hits, the game is over, Canadians just have to be careful of frustrated, angry Czech players.

Could be but the Czechs are longer in any position to hold grudges on their best players, they dont have the depth for that anymore.

 

[4thlineduster]

Why do we always attempt a cross crease pass when a shooting lane is open.

So frustrating

 

[snipes]

Veleno has quietly had a good game

Nothing special there, the Czech player was in alone. I did see him let the Czech player skate all the way into the zone, wait for support for a pass, and have the second player get a free crack on net before that though.

 

[4thlineduster]

Not from what I’ve seen.

The Americans, Russia, Finland, Sweden, and us....all legit medal contenders.

The Czechs are a tier below those teams

 

[snipes]

Nice save DiPietro

 

[Blender]

The Czech's top players have been really disappointing in all their games so far, I was expecting a lot more from Necas, Zadina, and Kaut. Especially considering they all play against men.

 

[HOPE]

I never liked zadinas game and was scared montreal would draft him.

Definitely not scared he will fill montreals net so they regret not picking him like he said he would.
