GDT: Game 4: Canada Vs USA | 1PM EST 7PM CET | Can 6 - 4 USA

[SR]

How could these guys possibly lose?

Jesus, this is awful.

 

[Chiarelli]

Like an almost NHL ready goalie

You sure he doesn’t need like a 7 year bobrovsky contract amount of time

 

[Dominance]

Canada looks really out of sync. Have not been able to establish much sustained zone time and pressure.

What? Even strength has been all Canada since the four minute mark. If we can stay out of the box the rest of the game, and maybe remind the players that you don’t score points for shooting over the net, I’m
feeling good about this start. If not for this game, for the tournament as a whole.

 

[Dr Quincy]

It's appropriate for TSN to play some depressing country song after that first period.

When it comes to depressing country songs, nothing beats "If We Make it Through December" by Merle or "There Stands the Glass" by Webb Pierce.

 

[Wintersun]

I feel like I’m watching a different game. Byram struggling in his own zone in my eyes.

Yeah, had ups and downs for sure, but still liked what he did, mostly offensively however.

 

[Vijo Morganstein]

Get Lafreniere with Lavoie and McMichael on the first PP unit and watch the magic happen.

 

[Daximus]

Look out if the US coaches figure out that playing their best players together 5v5 will lead to goals.

Watching different games then.

I never felt like Canada was very close to scoring that whole period.

 

[Merrrlin]

Canada definitely better 5v5 but can’t defend so far.

 

[GlassesJacketShirt]

Thought Lafreniere, Byfield and Cozens shone the most offensively. Hayton's a very good prospect, but he's the kind of player who aggravates during these short tournaments.

 

[Claypool]

Canada looking very low offense today. Wonder how much of that is the US defense/system and how much is from just not executing.

Lots of blocked shots by U.S.

 

[heynowbababooey]

That was a weak penalty call and everyone knows it.

That interference call was weak too. Especially since it was the Canadian player trying to set a pick.

 

[BTP]

stay out the damn box canada

 

[Dominance]

Watching different games then.

Well, you’re just not watching, then. That’s a ridiculous statement. Cozens chance, Hayton and Lavoie clear looks, etc.

 

[Daximus]

That song sucks

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Can Hayton shoot it without dusting it off 3-4 times first.
So many plays are dying on his stick. He has skills but he needs to simplify.

 

[Dominance]

That interference call was weak too. Especially since it was the Canadian player trying to set a pick.

How about we just stop this until there is a legitimately egregious call.

 

[Daximus]

That interference call was weak too. Especially since it was the Canadian player trying to set a pick.

They didnt call the pick, they called the stick check to the face of Cozens.

 

[SupremeTeam16]

On a positive note I liked the physicality Canada brought that period. During the years where Canada was basically unbeatable in this tournament they always played a high intensity physical game and that energy and physicality always seemed To wear down opponents and make them shrink in games. Need to get back to combining that physical play with the skill they have.

 

[Alerion]

That song sucks

Nothing gets me excited like slow-paced country music. TSN needs to stop trying to make this tournament appeal to your 65 year old uncle and embrace the youthful energy.

 

[Lt Dan]

I am just here to say that you have a awesome username.

Carry on

 

[heynowbababooey]

Oh? I heard the tsn guy say it was an interference penalty.

 

[Jacksonbobson]

they're playing this country song the whole tournament?

 

[Your Boy Troy]

childish insults good job.

And, you’re absolved from this how? I don’t shit on teenage players. At the end of the day, it’s just a game.

 

[Leafidelity]

Ugh, they’re gonna be advertising that song all tourney aren’t they?
