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

Hey guys, don't you miss Pierre Maguire talking about Connor Bedard's magical play?

“Gord when you see Bédard dance through the big body presence of Simon Némèc, who was labouring, it’s reminiscent of when he did that playing for Burnaby Winter Club atom AA coached by Jimmy Smith”

Post of the thread. Made me laugh.
Err...is that you Pierre?

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

No substance in your argument. Why can you predict where he'll be in 8 months?

You can't be serious. Anyone who watched Mesar play can tell he's not nhl ready. Heck, you don't need to even watch him play to know he won't be in the nhl ready next year. Just look at his age, where he was picked, his size, and his ohl production. Just that pretty much guarantees that he doesn't play in the nhl next year

Love Pierre !!! (being sincere, not sarcastic)

I bet he would be a great guy to talk with over a beer (not being sarcastic at all. He loves hockey)

I 1,000,000% guarantee that this 5'3" Canadian goaler is going to get ripped apart by a country with superior shooters.

Lmao bravo

I miss Pierre, I was always a fan of his

Me, too.

 

[Yepthatsme]

dont think we got a chance vs usa personally and think we be playing for bronze llol but that was fun

You’re basing the fact that we don’t have a chance against the USA based on our play against a team that beat the USA?

 

[Captain3rdLine]

Sounds like it was just luck

You are trying to defend something in the future, it's just opinions. I could see many scenarios where he's not at the WJC next year. Including him making the AHL and not being loaned (If they have play with Roy, Kidney etc - stability might be good). Or making the NHL team, while a stretch goal is not totally out of the question. Let's see if he goes at the World's for Slovakia (senior team) and how he performs.

It is what it is. Let's just enjoy the moment.

???

I didn't take it that way. Kid was probably just trying to be funny and compliment Bedard.

I bet 'S E P H's 'guarantee' isn't worth the paper it isn't written on, too.

Was joking

Well I have to say.. hats off to Slovakia. They played a great game. I wasn’t a fan of the dirty stuff in the first period but once they knocked it off I couldn’t help but be impressed by the way they played. They were physical, they got a lot of sticks on pucks for deflections, and although they didn’t get a lot of shots on net they really had some grade A scoring chances,
our goaltender had to make some big saves or we were going home, and last but not least their goaltender was masterful tonight. The last few minutes of the third period and over time was some of the most exciting play of the entire tournament. Gained a lot of respect for Slovakia’s play. No shame in a hard fought battle.

 

[ORRFForever]

Fair enough.

Game is being repeated, without intermission, on TSN 2.

mason mctavish with the legendary game saving play in august and now bedard with this legendary play to win a quarterfinal!

You can’t be serious.

 

[nbwingsfan]

100% agree, but lets be honest 10 years ago canada is no doubt finishing 1st in group and there first KO game is a 10-0 blowout.....point being that some of the other countries are getting closer to the "top" teams, and canada was just about unbeatable on home ice in this tourney

10 years ago Canada didn’t even medal…

 

[ORRFForever]

You can’t be serious.

Someone quoted it elsewhere.

I'm sure the kid was joking and trying to give a compliment that didn't land.

Well, for Canada it's all about winning no? I might be totally wrong in my guarantee, but I see that lad in the net and he just screams an uncomfortable aura based on his body language. Yeah, he made some big stops, but 98% of those chances were all close to the ground where Milic excels. Playing against the USA shooters will be a totally different story, that's my prediction based on my lifetime of watching and playing hockey.

And enjoy? I could care less who wins or loses as I am neutral, the real question is why don't you care about the lad for Slovakia who had almost sixty shots on him and lost? Why don't you feel for him? I think he deserved to win it more than the Canadian netminder or anyone else on Canada for that matter except Bednard.

In this day and age? You should never be serious. Your jokes will be taken seriously.

I thought everyone was on Playstation?
