GDT: Group B - May 17 - Canada (0) vs Finland (4)

[Spawnisen]

It's just something with this country, being able to perform year after year with average (mostly) players compared to the other teams!

 

[snipes]

No need to talk like that. You'll be facing a very underwhelming Sweden. If the Czechs and Russians can rout them, there's no reason to believe Canada can't. Especially since they'll be the team traveling.

Not saying Sweden can't surprise, but Canada is still the massive favorite going into that game.

I really don't think we are massive favourites at all. I fully think we're going to lose, we deserve all the insults that come our way.

It was a good tournament and enjoyable to talk with fans from other countries, but it looks like Canada will be out in the QFs.

Congrats again Suomi. They deserved the win.

 

[The Drop]

It's funny how Leaf fans hate Laine but if the Leafs fell to the second pick we'd be hearing about how much better he is than Matthews.

This is so true.

 

[I am not exposed]

Crush? Canada did indeed beat Finland in Sochi but that was on overtime.

Wow, what a crushing!

 

[llwyd]

I think this was a momentum game, Canada dominated, didn't score, lost focus then all of a sudden they trailed.

Hmm, I do think that Finland might have had a tiny hand in these momentum shifts though...

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

How's McDavid?
Everybody's talking about him that he's the new Gretzky.
Has he scored a goal yet?

The next Marchand, no doubt...

 

[W75]

Tough start but a good game. Talbot helped a lot though. Canada has all the offensive talent they need, if they wake up. North American team, international tournament, meaningless and lifeless non-playoff game, it was nothing new. So can't count them out yet, they'll bounce back when needed.

that's how it goes :p

 

[Gaps]

So proud of our team tonight!

Expected more from Canada. Perry is a despicable captain.

 

[Lonny Bohonos]

And lost

Lol come on. Thats ridiculous.

Have you seen how **** the US team is?

 

[QnebO]

Thanks for tough game Canada. This really helps against some doubts on Laine. He truly looked like he belonged in that tough game.

 

[Raimo Sillanpää]

Partly yes, but the paralysis after 1-0 was key.

 

[I am not exposed]

Canadians are so insecure , God help them if their A team won't win the World Cup, they won't have an excuse to fall back to

Oh, they will say it is only Olympics that matter. Then if they lose the next Olympics, it will be that international competition doesn't matter!

I love Laine. If leafs fell to second pick Matthews would not be getting criticized and picked apart so much by leaf haters.

 

[Lonny Bohonos]

The next Marchand, no doubt...

Lol he was looking like it at the end.

Serriously you have nothing to be worried about with this team Sweden! even your u20 team could beat this team!
