GDT: Group A • Dec. 29 • Switzerland vs. Canada • Part 2

That's exactly the problem with Barzal. He waits too long with the puck.

They really needed to get Strome out there but some guys stayed on too long.

No its not a problem.. he makes the rigjt play instead of getting rid of the puck bad like alot of the other forwards

 

[UsernameWasTaken]

I honestly think Lowry's at the point where he's as bad a coach as Spott. He's just awful.

 

[The Drop]

Is the only reason Marner gets mentioned so often because no one else has any clue the names of anyone else on the roster?

It's because he's been garbage

 

[OilerPensfan97]

That was awesome.

How can anyone cheer for this team ?

So I'm going to bail on my home country because they aren't playing well? This is international hockey, not the NHL. There is no bandwagoning.

 

[dubey]

Marner will rescue this team once again

 

[Mitchy]

Marner almost cost us the game with his terrible play in Overtime

Give it up.

 

[francis246]

Sanheim - Dermott has been the best pairing tonight. Very steady and confident. I didn't really like Chabot's game too much

 

[Scotty B]

Realistically, Swiss needed to win in regulation to have any chance of making QF's

Canada had lots of pressure late...BUT SWISS didn't seem to have pulling their goalie in mind at all?

WHY NOT? Poor Coaching?

 

[KrisLetAngry]

Hicketts
Hicketts in a Strome jersey
Hicketts in a Barzal jersey

Haha funny

 

[Fern111]

I'm rooting so hard for Switzerland right now and I'm Canadian...

They deserve to win this game so much more than we do lol

 

[Peasy]

Marner almost cost us the game with his terrible play in Overtime

And Perlini costed us a regulation win by taking a penalty.

Like cmon, that comment serves no purpose and is just there to bash Marner lmao.

 

[DuckedUpOnQuack]

Lowry & Co. got out-coached pretty badly this game

 

[bert]

Chabot was excellent.

Best Team Canada d-man.

He has played too much though you can tell he is tired. The icetime distribution is horrid.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Terrible bench management... I hate to complain but

 

[KPower]

Is the only reason Marner gets mentioned so often because no one else has any clue the names of anyone else on the roster?

Because people expected much more from him.

 

[Appleyard]

Chabot looked poised and Fleury's carrying of the puck was nice, so nothing against either pairing in OT, but probably would've been good to get Sanheim in there for a bit to create some offense instead of shoving more Hicketts down our throats.

The fact neither Dermott OR Sanheim played a second in OT is hilarious.

They are both fantastic with open ice... and the two most creative Dmen on the team.

 

[John Agar]

It's going to be a 1/4 final exit this year. I hope you guys all PVR'd last year's GMG, cause it will be a few years before we see another one. Not next year and certainly not in 2018 in Buffalo.

Yes Mr. W'

Not just because our talent level is thin over the next few years, but Finland, Sweden, Russia and especially the US are on the up tick.

It also doesn't help watching us get out coached either.

 

[stavs*]

strome sucks

 

[izzy]

That was a dumb idea

 

[Breakers]

Hopefully Marner can actually be useful here

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Geeze I didn't really notice perlini this game

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Is the only reason Marner gets mentioned so often because no one else has any clue the names of anyone else on the roster?

No, because leafs fans won't leave Virtanen alone.

 

[OilerPensfan97]

Give it up.

Why are you trying to defend Marner? He's been terrible today.

 

[Davebo*]

Will this team even make it to the QF? Don't see a medal in their future, this is a mess. Lowry never sees a Maple Leaf again

I hope not - no bench control at all. Weak sometimes stupid decisions
