GDT: Group B - May 6 - Korea vs Canada

[Vancouver Canucks]

I'm not talking just about the numbers. Just visually, I've never seen a team so far behind others as Korea has been against Finland and Canada.

Other teams are behind like Korea as well. Calm down.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Biggest defeat is 100-2.

 

[Urbanskog]

Slight off-topic but....do you know the biggest defeat in any team sport (cricket not included)
btw. i know (there is even a finnish saying because of that)

I don't know, no such saying comes to mind.

Canada rarely runs up the score intentionally on weaker opposition.

McDavid was almost embarrassed when he scored there. I don't know, maybe it's just a deeply embedded character trait we have.

Good. It's nice of them to do that. They can't stop playing completely, but the number of shots dropped, they're passing even more, some things will end up in goal, but they don't look like they're trying very much.

If you watch we just pass the puck around and control possession.

Not anything new, Canadians have done this for decades against inferior competition.

Realistically this could be a 15-0 game.

Ever wondered where comes the sata nolla saying

Back in the day when Finland was just starting to play basketball,
they played an exhibition game vs USA

Team USA was leading Team Finland 100-0 (sata nolla)
but in the dying seconds, Team USA felt sorry for us
and scored an own basket, so that the game wouldn't end 100-0

The game ended 100-2.

In an olympics qualifying tournament in 2008, Slovakia's women beat Bulgaria 82-0. Bulgaria had 0 SOG...

So, that's one goal per less than a minute? Bahahaha.

Highlights, the tempo is amazing.

The tempo......LOL. What's even Bulgaria doing? You'd rather fire a beachball than pucks, in this case.

 

[tobu]

There was also a fight in that game.

There was also a fight in that game.

Bulgaria probably lost that fight. Bahahaha.

Is that saying Lumi-erät? Its good and active Tennis säying but I dont know at all where it possibly could be from.

I played Team Japan and beat them 336-0 in NHL 18, and they only had one shot.

That seems like something i would do when i was 10 years old.

 

[FinPanda]

Is it allowed to expect a 10:0 for Canada? Maybe with McElhinney in goal?

Nice call.

Well, there are people who make videos doing challenges or strange feats on Youtube. I did it for fun, because I was bored.

That game (And the Latvia 16-0 WJ20 game the following year) were back before the whole "Other countries are getting better" rhetoric/truth. Plus it's a bunch of teams who might not even make pro depending on their team.

As was said, Canada usually farts around against the promoted teams when it comes to the men's division. It cost them against France a few years back, and as I said earlier, was kind of worried this game was going to be Hungary 2.0, completely inferior team getting dominated on the shot clock but hanging in because *Insert Euro League goalie here*

Feel bad for Dalton and his crew. but glad he didn't go beast mode like he did against the Czech Republic in the Olympics.

He wasn't beast mode against the Czechs. He let in a shot between his left arm and body, just because the shot was too fast for him. The first goal was when he left a wide open net for the Czech player to score.

Korea and next year GB! I think the IIHF should be cut the WHC from 16 to 12 teams.

I'd be excited to see Korea playing against GB. That should be a better matchup than Korea and Canada, for example.

 

[boredmale]

I guess this is what happens when you have a 16 team Hockey Tournament, you might get away with having Norway in a 15 team tournament but 16 is 1 team to far

On a side note why not Italy? Don't they usually have a team made up of dual citizen Canadians

Correct me if I'm wrong but the dude had like 40+ saves in that game, that ended in a 2-1 loss for the 18th ranked team VS a big six member. By Korea standards that's kind of beast mode.

Like I said, after watching Dalton in the Olympics, my worry for a fresh "not yet chemistry" team for Canada was running into Miklos Rajna 2.0 in the form of Dalton. Thankfully that didn't happen and we dominated from the start this time, no Cristobal Huet's or Miklos Rajna's to somehow make Taylor Hall look like a joke player for a period and a half.

Miklos Rajna 2.0?
