GDT: Germany v. Canada 23h30 UTC

[B33R LEAGUE]

Too many players on Team Canada have spent too much time playing EA Sports NHL-series games on their Playstations.

I think the pond hockey moves are the result of Covid taking away a couple years of development.

They probably spent more time on the joysticks than in practice during that time.

You might want to know where Bedard is when he is in the ice.

 

[Chainshot]

Amazing goal from Bedard.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Beautiful shot

 

[Lavar Ball]

Smooth edge work

 

[Some Other Flame]

Bedard is worth tanking for

 

[Czechboy]

Sublime! That German D just watching helplessly. Canada at 16 shots and 3 goals, 1 disallowed goal after 18 minutes. This German squad is well coached and structured. It's damn impressive.

Bedsy?

Bedarder?

 

[haak84]

Bedard is the real deal.

 

[MeHateHe]

Is it a lack of high level junior opportunity that is holding back Canadian goaltending or is it the cost of it both in terms of equipment and the constant schools/camps?

A little of column A, a little of column B. We don't coach goalies enough, and young enough, and there are only several dozen major junior goaltending spots - having a bunch of Europeans taking those spots means that Canadians aren't getting those chances.

The Western line of Dach,Ostapchuk and Bankier isn't better than quite a few players left...Bolduc,L'Heureux...

 

[hockey20000]

book it now bedard is gonna have a 500+ goal nhl career lol

 

[Colezuki]

Roy has so much grit near the goal. Canada needs his style against tougher opponents. And... Bedards brilliance of course.

He’s really stepped up for a fifth rounder

 

[John Agar]

Smooth edge work

B' doesn't get enough praise for his blade skills...

He reminds me of Patrick Kane with the same anticipation and edge skills...

Very hard to hit/stop...

Bedsy?

Bedarder?

I think he said the two most common are Bedsy and Dard.

 

[Chainshot]

the crazy thing is it's the American's that made that move popular.

I don't think the Michigan is the goaltending issue. The issue is that no body wants to be blamed for losses as a young kid. If your youth team loses, everyone blames the goalie.

You mean like the bad team defense on four of the five goals against but it somehow being heaped on Gaudreau for being at fault for the loss to the Czechs?

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Great pickup pass and super shot by the next Little Beaver Connor Bedard the Dangerous one!!!

 

[TheBeastCoast]

I think this Roy-Stankoven-Bedard will make a nice 1st line lol

 

[jcs0218]

2 points from Bedard so far in this game. He had 1 point in the first game too.

Only 29 more points to go until he breaks Forsberg's record.

 

[John Agar]

The Western line of Dach,Ostapchuk and Bankier isn't better than quite a few players left...Bolduc,L'Heureux...

I like Dach... he's good...

The other two are plugs...

And Bolduc, L'Heureaux and about 15 others would have been more effective...

 

[snipes]

That drop pass by Bedard was filthy. He is so good, just dominating.
