GDT: Game 23: Quarter Finals | Finland Eliminate Canada 2-1 OT

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

im still wondering why we sent that terrible captain for the Penalty shot

lmao

 

[HOPE]

That empty netter fail by comtois, he’s gonna dream about that one for a long time.

 

[Blender]

Hopefully Hunter isn't back next year, really poor coaching from him all around.

 

[Maplebeasts]

Hilarious watching Comtois get blame when he scored 5 goals, Bouchard and Hayton were pathetic.

Bouchard was good today. Maybe not in other games this tournament but he was far from the issue in this one.

 

[4thlineduster]

LOL very embarrassing display by Canada.

Karma for scoring 15 goals on some peewee hockey team to start it off.

That’s the thing....this team was built to pound on lesser teams. All they did was attempt fancy passes in the attacking zone all game every game.

It works against the Denmark’s but when you play quality opponents this is what you see. Missed passes, whiffed one timers, and tons of giveaways.

We played three games against “top tier” teams this year including pre tournament and lost all three.

If not for DiPietro this team would have been abolsutly embarrassed this tournament.

Terrible coaching, terrible defence, and terrible forwards.

 

[Rob]

Now we have to hear Don Cherry say this was because they scored too many in the first game

Yes. The hockey gods frowned upon Canada for that.

 

[AjaxManifesto]

The finns 100% deserved the win...................end of story.

Yep

 

[trilobyte]

I'm so happy I don't get warped out of shape by WJC results.
Canada didn't deserve to win. The team that gets the most goals is the team that deserves to win. Simple.

It was an entertaining game.
f*** Noah Dobson's stick though.

 

[Matt24]

Hindsight is 20/20, but Hunter picked unquestionably the third most offensively gifted player on the ice. Completely indefensible.

 

[Kshahdoo]

Now we have to hear Don Cherry say this was because they scored too many in the first game

...and Comtois' diving.

 

[irunthepeg]

Canada needs to get their **** together. It feels like they're too complacent with just being known as the favourites. Hope this lights a spark under Hockey Canadas ass.

I mean you're not wrong, but Canada just won last year. That's what makes this tournament so good. Favourites never means anything.

 

[DownGoesMcDavid]

Canada got worked all game.....terrible !!

Without Dipietro that game should have been 5-1 Finn.

Terrible.

And Hunter and Comtois one of thr worst Coach/ Captain combo in a long time .


Finns 100% deserved that

 

[Thebesthockey]

HUNTER still stuck in the goon it up 80s hockey

 

[Canucks LB]

Lmao this was hilarious. I have a feeling that Finland will win gold without playing one great game in the whole tournament.

USA wins it imo

 

[The Kessel Run]

I didn't think Finland played that great, but they were certainly the better team.

 

[Icebreakers]

Glass or frost shoulda taken the shot

 

[canuck2010]

Can't stand these coaches when they want to play a conservative system.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

i feel alittle bit for Canada except when I remember the team had Maxime Comtoi's leadership at the helm. hockey gods did a thing.

 

[sandysan]

The finns 100% deserved the win...................end of story.

They outplayed Canada for long time but I see it more as a coin flip.

Not that they didn't deserve to win but I could see either team coming out on top

 

[sadpanda]

How with two lucky breaks?

Well deserved luck.

 

[Johnny McBravo]

Bouchard was good today. Maybe not in other games this tournament but he was far from the issue in this one.

Bouchard was far better than Dobson and Smith today. Brook and Mitchell were our best D pair.

 

[BusQuets]

Finland has been a better team throughout the entire game. This is fully deserved

Canada played absolutely superb defensive game in the 3rd period. Their only mistake was not scoring the empty net goal.

 

[David Suzuki]

Dobson was complete trash this game.

Dobson and Bouchard were both god awful.

 

[Past Considerations]

Let’s be honest this game would be 5-1 or 4-1 if not for Dipietro.
Even though the breaks were crazy and unlucky, It doesn’t change the fact that kind of a absolutely deserve to lose that ****ing game after those first two embarrassing periods

Then again scoring has been a problem for FIN when only counting the relevant games (SWE & USA). DiPietro was good but scoring continued to be a problem in this game too.

 

[ijuka]

This game was so bad. Even though Finland won, that really was dreadful to watch. One of these games where neither team deserved to win... Quite a fluke for Finland to face an opponent of such level after coming in third.

 

[Conrad McBenis]

So glad that diving loser Comtois won't get a medal... LOL!

Feel bad for Canada as a whole tho. Frost looked great, DiPietro played great... just unfortunate.

Still no sympathy for the diving Captain.

 

[gwh]

boycott IIHF

Also boycott the 30million USD the WJC makes for Canadian junior hockey each year?
