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

[Aaaaaaaaaaaaa]

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

Welcome to Canada, where you can go from national phemon to undraftable lazy scrub in less than a full game.

We eat our own in this country. Some things never change amongst a certain segment of fans.

 

[Topgoon]

McDavid looks timid out there - always looking to pass, rarely doing anything selfish.

i wonder if any of this has to do with the fact that he's a 17 year old in a locker room full of older boys?

 

[trilobyte]

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

Could surely do without that. Surprised that somebody would start that. Sheesh.

 

[jdatb]

Your hate is hilarious. Kid has been dynamite tonight.

You're not watching the game. Just this last shift, Gauthier had the puck and was slipping and sliding all over the ice. Sad.

 

[Rodzilla]

Lazar has been really disappointing. And I really don't like Ritchie

 

[X66]

Still think those Slovak Jersey's look way better than ours.

In fact, I wish our jersey looked more like Switzerland's in this tournament, they look very sharp IMO.

 

[ottawa]

Fucale is playing great

 

[Beesfan]

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

That was 18 games. You can't compare a full season to 18 games. There's no doubt he is a great player; there is a question of how great though.

So can Mcdavid. But we dont need him to play with people. We need him to have chemistry. Chemistry is more important.

 

[X66]

Hey look, McDavid is good again.

 

[MrFunnyWobbl]

Little bit McDavid

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

Hellooo!!

 

[cneely]

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

Lol.
I think you misunderstood.

Morrissey has already been drafted FYI.

Funny you should say that, he almost just scored two goals with nobody able to touch him

 

[OVs Gold Chain*]

McDavid gets his second good look, once again shoots it directly into the left pad

 

[Topgoon]

I know. I press submit and then THAT happens haha

 

[ottawa]

Duclair is unreal

 

[trilobyte]

Penalty for sure

 

[RickyR]

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

 

[sjci]

I think Duclair might be getting an embellishment penalty. Looked like ref was signalling both

Do you think I'm ripping McDavid? I only got involved in this discussion because people wanted to break up other lines to cater to McDavid and I said he should be able to produce with any linemates. If he doesn't do it this game, it's not the end of the world.

 

[ottawa]

Why is everyone bickering about McDavid more than the game...Canada is winning, who cares who scores

 

[ThirtyTwo]

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

Not sure if you're serious, but Morrisey has already been drafted. He was talking about being the number 1 defenseman on the team.

Interesting point, probably some validity in it. Imagine walking into a room of superior prospects, at 17, being the main media talking point, and trying to fit in.

 

[Alerion]

Domi, Duclair, McDavid, and Petan are all gamebreakers, it's nice to have a team with this much offensive upside
