GDT: Group A • Dec. 26 • Canada vs. Slovakia

[landy92mack29]

Canada's offense looks really good. Goaltending is very shaky. I wonder how they'll play against teams that can match them skill wise.

except no one can match them skill wise

I guess we will have to wait to find out, eh?

What's with the late goal horn? lol

Budweiser light was behind too. Must be powered by the real horn.

Slovakia's era as a hockey power is officially over

Gotta get Chara over there and knock some stanchion in their organization.

 

[NHL Dude 120]

Gonna be tough to send The Duke back to the Q after this tourney. Go Rangers!

Has he been bad or something???

 

[ProspectsSTC]

Canucks are lucky to have Virtanen, guy's looked phenomenal.

 

[TMLeafer]

Virtanen is beasting.

 

[Bgav]

Leave point and virt together.

 

[Orca Smash]

Please more point on the 4th.

 

[Alerion]

Gauthier should be the 13th forward and only receive minutes on the PK or when protecting leads.

 

[Narcissus]

Mcdavid hurt? Hasn't been on the ice since first shift.

 

[TedLundy]

Haha wow! That defence!

 

[NeverForget06]

Wonderful that we finally decided to bring a skill team again. I think a big part of our goaltender struggles was that we didn't have the offence to mask our troubles in goal.

Duclair had some very good games with the Rangers, but there were times where it looked like he was not processing the NHL game fast enough. He showed flashes of brilliance. It will come.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

But its not who has a better talent base. USA and Sweden aren't too far off talent wise of these rosters. Russia and Finland can probably also give Canada a game.

 

[ThisYearsModel]

At this rate, this game will end 18-0.

 

[void]

60 minute powerplay for Canada

 

[WhiteCurse]

Agreed, he has been a boat anchor to his line mates

 

[Bgav]

Mcdavid hurt? Hasn't been on the ice since first shift.

He's been on the ice

 

[FirewagonChange]

Let's not forget this is Connor Mcdavid's first real game in 6 weeks

 

[cneely]

Duclair and Domi look great obv but IMO Virtanen has looked fantastic.

 

[ProspectsSTC]

Anyone see Lazar catch his stick there?

 

[jdatb]

imo the McD line hasn't looked as good as the second or third lines. McDavid is doing everything himself on his line(he looks impressive individually)

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Has he been bad or something???

No, just the odd man out of the rotation at the moment.

 

[PG Canuck]

Virtanen definitely deserving of more ice time so far.
