3 goals in 5 periods an overtime and a billion shootout attempts vs Latvia and Germany can't be good.

Pretty painful and excruciating to watch.

Boring, soft, and out of synch perimeter play. Never thought I’d see the day where I’d find the World Juniors so boring and almost unwatchable.

A quarterfinal blowout loss is likely how this tournament ends for Canada if they’re lucky enough to not be in a relegation game.

Are you seriously this dense or are you arguing for the sake of arguing at this point?

Not hard logic to follow bud. Matthews relies on his wrister to score more than most goal scorers we've seen. Dominant players have copycats. Really not complicated. What are they putting in the water over in TO where this is so hard to follow?
lololol
Okay so because Matthews has a good wrist shot. Young players are modeling their game off him. Which they are doing without actually watching him play. And the fact that he actually has a good one timer doesn’t count because their are other players with better ones and you know these kids don’t actually follow the game of the player they are basing their game off to see it.

Have I got that all right? Those are all actual things you have claimed in this pointless argument.

This is, far and away, the least talented Canadian team to ever play in this tournament. It's also possibly the worst coached.
Yup I've been vocal about the roster already but the lack of energy and lack of line chemistry is awful coaching. Outside of Mckenna-Catton no 2 players are working well together. Very obvious the Ritchie line needs to be broken up. Pinelli tries but kills everything that line does. Shake it up and put Ritchie on rw with Mckenna-Catton, Yager in between nadeau cowan

I honestly don't get the general plan with Canada. They opt to leave a lot of skill at home, fine, but then the team isn't particularly hard to play against either. They don't forecheck hard and they aren't very gritty, but they are also undisciplined.

At least George is a good goaltender.

This tournament better be a wakeup call to Canada to reevaluate their management staff. Brutal decisions finally catching up to them.

Most of the other games are great! Team Canada games are not.

Yeah you're right, I said all of those things.

Are the voices in your head shooting off again bud? I bet you destroy in shower arguments.

canada vs kaz lets gooo that would be truly embarassing but funny at same time
Canada versus Kazakhstan in a relegation round with Canada losing would be nothing short of a monumental disaster of epic proportions.

Even thinking about Canada, being relegated is blasphemous.

It would be the end of the world in Canada.
