GDT: Game 20: Canada Vs Czech Republic | 1PM EST 7PM CET | CAN 7 - 2 CZE

[blindpass]

yes it happened, I would just move on and enjoy the game.

Not much to enjoy in this one.

 

[Quality Oil]

If Malík goes down they might have to bring in the dominator.

Calling what I see. I'm aware of the possibility of having my own bias and trying to account for it. I don't think Canada would have accepted what Andersson did like Sweden did.

calling what you see but not using common sense or acknowledging an example when given to you.

I don't mean offense by what I just said, just stating things as they are.

Like I said, enjoy the game man.

Just no injuries was all I wanted... didn't care if Canada won by 5. Even predicted a 5 goal win. I don't blame the refs. I don't care about the score. Canada looks great... I hope they do well. But to review:

We lost our best winger, Lauko, 6 seconds into our first game against Russia
We lost our best Centre (player) at the end of the 2nd period to the States. Jenik.
Somewhere Dostal got hurt and he was our starting goalie.
No idea when our 2C got hurt, Sir, but he's out too
Now we've lost our 2nd goalie in the first period

Malik is a good goalie and him playing itsn't that upsetting but who comes in if he gets hurt?

We are missing our 3 best players, backup goalie and have 10 guys on the bench.

Ignore that I misread.

True, in a hockey excitement manner.

 

[Czechboy]

Should mention.. beauty period by Canada. I don't care if they win 55-0... just no more injuries please!

 

[LarryO]

We've got Hasek all geared up. He's our secret weapon.

He was amazing, an NHL legend for sure.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Ignore that I misread.

Yeah accidental spear to the nuts.

 

[jj cale]

Well, must go out for a bit, should return shortly. hope I come back to more Canada goals.

I thought he was sidelined with an illness?

 

[McDrai]

I'm pleased that Canada is winning but these are somewhat unfortunate circumstances. I certainly hope that there aren't any more injuries for the Czechs.



Well when you're 19 and your country has only won the tournament once in the last 16 years, I suppose even a 5-0 goal is exciting.

You hate to see a bunch of injuries for any team, especially the Czechs who played very good games against Russia and USA. They were already my 2nd fav country in International tournaments (Was a die hard Hemsky fan back in the day)

 

[Mikeshane]

Czechs may want to reconsider their mirror breaking pre-game ritual.

 

[czechmate]

He was amazing, an NHL legend for sure.

Old times, difficult not to become nostalgic, especially when your junior team is being spanked by Canada.

 

[DuklaNation]

The other teams must know by know that Canada favours feeding the one timer off the right circle. How many of their PP goals are from there? Gotta show more variation.

Yep, given that they are hosting and are likely pretty tired it's a crappy situation. No suspensions and no injuries going forward. For Canada I also want to see some strong 5 on 5 play. Obviously the powerplay is looking solid.

Unbelievable

Hemsky had those moves like Jag(g)er.. Beautiful player to watch back in the day.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Canada should try to shut them down. Play patient and counter punch.

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

Yeah blowouts are boring. I'd rather the team I cheer for lose a tight game any day.

Unless it's for a stanley cup. But as a sens fan I dont think I have to worry about that for a while

 

[McDrai]

He had some of the best dangles for sure . Was sad to see his career end short due to his many injuries.

I think it's too stagnant against better teams that have seen some tape and understand where Canada is trying to open lanes and get the puck. Would like to see the bumper used more as well but without more player movement and faster puck movement it's tricky to get the puck in there.

 

[Czechboy]

I thought he was sidelined with an illness?

I have no idea what he is out with... I've never read what happened. I do hope the Czechs invest in a lot of bubblewrap and wrap him in it until the quarter against Sweden though!

 

[blindpass]

Every citizen in Canada turned on Comtois?

No.

I didn't, so obviously I'm not saying that.

HF sure had a lot of people ******** on him and few countering it.

Anyway, I'll move on. Just explaining why I push back on when I see seeds of vilification like that of Veleno and Hayton. What I see are people setting up to have a scapegoat if things don't go well, which is a pointless thing. *Not saying you*. We can lose without there being a player to pin it on.

Comment of the thread so far... well done!lmao

 

[czechmate]

When you feel like having a mini break from that indispensible Czech game. There is some Pasta & Krejci action going on at the moment.
