GDT: Gold Medal Game: Canada Vs Russia | 1:00PM EST 7PM CET

GM of the National team.. or maybe assistant GM. He's the one that told Vrana they're benching him for a 3rd line KHL player. He's handsome so maybe the Czechs like him behind the mic.lol

LOL.
I remember like yesterday that draft he was in, he was looked at by most scouts as hands down the player with by far the most offensive upside.

This in a draft that had Jaromir Jagr, scouting is not an exact science. Not that Nedved turned out be a bad player but Jagr he was not.

Don't know if this was already posted but this site 1 hour ago is saying Hayton is a game time decision and arrived to the rink without a sling on his arm and didn't look to be favouring his arm - World Juniors 2020: Canada's Barrett Hayton a game-time decision for gold-medal game

Eberle. Lucky as the devil.

As a head coach you have to teach the kids not to try to hit an ENG from your own net. It's not Ebere's luck, but bad coaching.

 

[Lemonlimey]

is Byram playing today?

 

[Joe Zanussi]

Looking forward to this one. Canada should be locked in.

 

[blindpass]

is Byram playing today?

Yes.

Of course. As far as I remember it was Kulikov. I hope we never do that mistake again.

In fairness... Jagr was behind the iron curtain and Nedved was in the WHL as he'd defected.

Everything fell in place for Jagr.. he didn't have to defect, he showed up and got to play with a veteran like Bryan Trottier right away, they signed Hrdina to help him, Mario took him under his wing etc. Every bounce went his way. The guys one year older than him had to defect in trunks of cars.lol

I loved Nedved and especially his wrist shot. I think Nolan was first in the draft as well.

He was.

I mean, they don't really have to do anything, Hayton can dress and then just not play

Canada has to look past the dirty tactics that the Russians use and just play hockey.

I was hoping for this match up and while it won't be easy expect that Canada will win out in the end. Don't get suckered in by their cheap shots.

As if we are angels on the ice. Embarrassing post.

Russia has been hyper aggressive after the whistle around their net. Canada should get in there (cleanly) and let Russians take dumb penalties.

 

[Tutu to]

Russian players could be using PED’s

 

[Captain Bowie]

Canadian fans must have bought the package deals because there is a lot of them in the stands for the bronze medal game too I've noticed.

If I was going to go all the way to Europe for the tournament I'd buy the whole package too, attend every game possible.

 

[Tutu to]

Shame if Canada does not win. We have been the best team this tournament by a fair margin.

Penalty stats... Czechs were the most penalized by a mile. Canada is one of the cleanest.

 

[jellybeans]

5-4 Canada Lafreniere score the winner in ot.

Some Canadian posters could use PEDs to boost their brains and improve their eyesight so they can see and appreciate 2 teams on the ice.

We got pulverized by the opponent we face today earlier in the tournament. We have not clearly showed we have been the best team this tournament whatsoever.

Why so mad? Russia is known for cheating in international sports.

And that oponenent lost to both the Czechs and Americans. Also just went to ot with the Swedes. Overall we have been the best team.

Ignore, he's either drunk or a fool.

good morning one and all.

coffee is a brewin. time to fire up the grill pan and get me some jalapeño popper grilled cheese sandwiches with a splash of Frank's Red Hot. I have a feeling things are going to get a little spicy in the GMG.

Hope that Hayton is good to go...but not looking good.

Canada with the 4-3 W in a down to the wire, highly charged affair with lots of shenanigans.
