WJC: GDT: Canada – Slovakia (6:30 p.m. ET)

[HabSgt]

Fantilli has had a rough tournament

 

[Coaches Coroner]

Sure, when Canada plays dirty it's good ol' time hockey. When anyone else does that, they are clowns.

This is pretty much it. The funniest part is when they double down. Someone called Bedard's penalty "borderline match fixing" lmao.

Fantilli has some tunnel vision, he seems maybe a little too amped. Nothing wrong with a kid wanting the moment though.

There's no way he should go over Michkov imo

 

[hockey20000]

THIS... if a Slovak took an extra swipe after the save at Milic he'd been in a Halifax hospital. Czechs got lead and Ales Cech was knocked into next month and our goalie got run by Bedard. It goes both ways.

lol settle down there fella.

 

[NyQuil]

Unleash the Berard!

Bryan Berard?

Watch him get selected before Bedard

I joke lol

 

[jcbio11]

lol these clowns just gonna piss off bedard and he will drop 5 points on them.

Who you calling clowns?

Take it easy dude.

 

[MTL Dirty Birdy]

The more I watch Roy, the more I like him. Legit leader on this team.

And my God this feels like on ice war haha

 

[EdJovanovski]

I love these camera angles they get at WJC's, wish they had that in the NHL. Like when they have the wide angle lens going up to guys on the bench, feels much more dramatic like you're right there

 

[GlassesJacketShirt]

Watch him get selected before Bedard

I joke lol

Seems like the kind of pick Bobrov would entertain.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Hockey is more fun when there's a healthy level of contempt between the teams. I like what Slovakia is doing

Canada is still going to destroy them though

Cries in Ranger fan

 

[HabSgt]

I like that Slovakia is playing in-yer-face hockey. Fight fire with fire.

Should be a good hard-hitting game.

 

[mk80]

Entertaining game so far!

 

[HockeyVirus]

Bedard really is something

 

[Coaches Coroner]

Both teams playing with an edge and it's entertaining.

I think so too...it's weird to see the boo hooing when a non-Canadian team also plays a hard nosed brand of hockey. I guess some people only like to watch the games when their team is beating up on the other team, physically and on the score baord...when other teams do it people get riled up with emotional outbursts of that being what a "third rate country does". Odd to me.

 

[trilobyte]

Bryan Berard?

my

 

[HabSgt]

Roy & Bedard have good chemistry out there. They should for sure be on the same NHL team.

 

[Coaches Coroner]

lol settle down there fella.

I think Canadian fans might want to police our own...we've got people crying "match fixing" on the Bedard penalty and bemoaning "third rate countries" because of a couple of cross checks.

 

[tobu]

Bedard with the McDavid attempt.

 

[Mickey Marner]

That was close

 

[ClasslessGuy]

As a Canadian… I love how slovakia plays. No problem with it at all.

 

[Auston Marlander]

Who you calling clowns?

Take it easy dude.

I think he is referring to the players who are crosschecking players from behind/in the back of the head after several non-discript whistles. I'd like to see the crosschecks turn into hard play/big hits, but that's because I prefer a clean hard game, not late cheapshots.

My hope is when Canada wipes the floor with the Slovaks they don't take a dumb suspension. That's the Slovaks only game plan, piss off Canada with cheap shots and hope they take a stupid retaliation.

Good hard hitting hockey is my preferred brand. Cross checking needed to stop
