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

[Alerion]

yeah, if you don't want Canada to win

It's 7-0 and you have nothing positive to say

 

[LiquidSnake]

Well they tried McD with Virtnanen now

 

[MrFunnyWobbl]

Haha... Wow

That was sarcasm, yes?

 

[y2kcanucks]

Of course not - or a Lemieux. Or Forsberg. Or......

I'm not even sure he's a #1 pick to be honest. But if he's as good as some (not you necessarily!) claim he should be standing out more. Linemates or not.

Prior to getting injured, McDavid was scoring at a higher pace than Crosby in his draft year.

 

[X66]

Hard to believe this Domi the seed of the other one.

 

[LiquidSnake]

What do you think this Slovak goaltender is thinking and feeling right now?

13 more mins....

 

[Ando]

Not a fan of Theodore at all. Not just the giveaway, but all he does is forces shots that have no chance from the point. Offensively a lot of plays have died on his stick.

He's looked decent, just a bad turnover. He also isn't playing on his usual wing.

 

[trilobyte]

What do you think this Slovak goaltender is thinking and feeling right now?

That he did his best. I hope his teammates give him some encouragement.
Slovakia was a competitive team last year.

 

[Atomos2]

McDavid shouldn't need anything. He should be able to produce with Canada's 13th forward and 7th D as wingers.

Just like Crosby doesn't need anyone? Isn't that the reason Kunitz made the Olympic team?

 

[Aaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Hard to believe this Domi is a seed of the other one.

His mom must have had the good hands.

 

[David McConnor]

Prior to getting injured, McDavid was scoring at a higher pace than Crosby in his draft year.

How can you say that? He has looked out of place all tournament!

 

[RickyR]

Agree. Morrisey should be #1.

 

[Canada4Gold]

US didn't win in reg.

They win their games and they have their 1st seed.

By that logic the US result had no bearing on it since Canada going 4-0 results in US losing to Canada and no tiebreaks anyway

 

[TofoEmptyNt]

Hard to believe this Domi is a seed of the other one.

His mom must be a great athlete.

 

[Aaaaaaaaaaaaa]

How can you say that? He has looked out of place all tournament!

Both periods of it! LOL

 

[X66]

His mom must be a great athlete.

Well he did credit his mom to having the biggest influence on his career according to the TSN bio, lol so you might be on to something.

 

[thekernel]

Canada shouldn't really try to run this up worse than it is

Why? So the poor Slovakian feelings might not get hurt? Keep in mind that in Europe, it's considered very disrespectful to play below your best ability for any reason.

 

[DoubleDouble*]

yeah, if you don't want Canada to win

Your hate is hilarious. Kid has been dynamite tonight.

 

[LiquidSnake]

By that logic the US result had no bearing on it since Canada going 4-0 results in US losing to Canada and no tiebreaks anyway

Yes. That's exactly it.

The reg win was for those worried about GF tiebreaker

 

[TofoEmptyNt]

Just like Crosby doesn't need anyone? Isn't that the reason Kunitz made the Olympic team?

Crosby can play with anyone and Kunitz shouldn't have made the Olympic team.

 

[Cellee]

That was sarcasm, yes?

I hope so.

Not sure why someone feels the need to rip a 17 year with a ridiculous talent.

The kid has played 2 games in the last month and has millions of people judging his every stride. He will come around when it matters most.

If not, such is life, he owes nothing to any of us.

 

[jc17]

Agree. Morrisey should be #1.

Wow, McDavid should be number 1 no doubt. I understand when people mention Eichel as #1 but Morrissey isnt even close.

 

[trilobyte]

Crosby can play with anyone and Kunitz shouldn't have made the Olympic team.

Crosby gets shut down lots. Just look at what happens to him against the Rangers. Does that mean he is not a superlative player overall?

 

[Atomos2]

Once Gauthier has the puck, he literally can't stay on his feet.

 

[Rodzilla]

Oh please not the ole ole ole, jesus this is dumb.
