I can only agree with the Quenneville statement, he's on there because Kelly McCrimmon is coaching. Dal Colle or Merkley should be on this team instead. Virtanen I can't say I'm disappointed because this is what I expected out of him. He plays a hard game, not really the best offensive guy out there. Point is coming off an injury, what do you really expect? Also scoring goals is not easy lol. When you have a roster who can all score respectively, your overall scoring touch will drop in such a small tournament

Would have preferred Hawryluk.

Virtanen is the only NHL guy in a junior tournament, and is the 6th overall pick. I also remember him being far more effective last year. I really did expect more.

I suppose you're right about the Point injury, however.
 
The hate for Quenneville is hilarious. He forechecks and finishes every hit, he is not their for the skill. It's amazing to complain about him when 3/4 of the lineup is playing awful.
 
Virtanen is testing my patience today. Not sure he is fitting in. If you can't play with Strome, you can't play with many Centers.

What are the odds of Canada loosing this one, then loosing against Sweden and ending up last in group?

Denmark would need to get a point fro either the USA or Sweden because it would be a 3 way tie and Canada's h2h GD is too good since they beat Denmark by a lot
 
They keep saying the Swiss have to get a point or they're officially out, but that's not true, it would never happen but they would be alive with Denmark and Swiss both beating USA in regulation. Swiss and USA would both be on 3 points and they would advance on h2h, USA would go to relegation side

this whole game i've heard "chabot has been canada's best defenseman" so which one is it guys? i'm not even a sens fan and i don't care about chabot but this is so annoying.

every one of these GDT's is full of:

"_____ is so unimpressive"

"_____ sucks"

"wow ____ >>> ____"

stop trying to make final evaluations on these young, inconsistent, unfinished-products of players based on a couple of plays in a single period of a tournament, holy ****.

can't shoot, therefore sucks

Well he had a shift that was a minute and 20 seconds long.

Some hfboard posters said he should be benched for it. Maybe he is in the thread and agreed :sarcasm:

Perhaps, but if this were the case. Point and Marner would not have been on the 4 mins PP for almost the entire time.
