GDT: Group B - May 7 - Canada vs Denmark

[Skolman]

RNH scores.

RNH>McDavid?

 

[tade]

I am guessing Denmark will come back from this deficit.

 

[Instant]

I didn't make the rule, apparently we have to win 5-1 and mcdcvid has to have 2g2a or he sucks

I mean... Can Canada win with more than 5 or that doesn't count? Because he doesn't have 2g2a?

Man, someone should make this rules with more details...

 

[Garl]

These games are so pointless. It feels that the gap between NHL and Euro leagues has widened in the last few years.

Yes, with modern rules teams with superior skating and speed have huge advantage.

But another problem is that this games really decide nothing for both teams.

 

[Oilers Propagandist]

I can't find any words that would make this situation better. Look at him, it's just awful how unimpressive he is.

Looks about as impressive as a prime Daigle.

Y? Does he turn into a pumpkin?

Speaking of Daigle, no... he turns into Alexandre Daigle's home made strawberry rhubarb pie.

 

[North Cole]

I didn't make the rule, apparently we have to win 5-1 and mcdcvid has to have 2g2a or he sucks

Question is. Would he win the hart on this team Canada or are they too good, so he wouldn't stand out?

 

[Instant]

RNH scores.

RNH>McDavid?

I think Edmonton should trade McDavid. Maybe they'll get like... a 1st rounder and a prospect for him? Though after this game, I don't know...

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Canada on a 15-0 run in their last 2.

These WC tournaments are just too blown up these days with too many teams. Hockey is not soccer where 20 nations could beat the #1 team in the world on a given night. The difference between the top teams and, say a #12 team in the world, is just huge in hockey. Besides, the NHL changed its style dramatically over the last years. Gone are the grinders of old, now almost anybody can skate like the wind and stickhandle really well. The NHL style works really well on large ice surfaces and the results show it.

McDavid + 1st for 7th round pick.

 

[Skolman]

McDavid + 1st for 7th round pick.

A 1st should be enough for a team to take on that contract

 

[tony d]

I always enjoy these tournaments. That said there are always blow outs during them, just the nature of the beast is all.

 

[Hulide]

Agree with Ehlers Senior.. Denmark does not play smart.. play Like headless Chickens..

 

[Instant]

A 1st should be enough for a team to take on that contract

I don't know. Look at him, he can't even score. And this is a huge contract. Who would have thought Oilers will regret re-signing him even before his new contract kicks in!

 

[Skolman]

RNH scores again

CONFIRMED- RNH>McDavid

 

[admire]

Canada even makes beautiful own goals

 

[McFlash97]

Canada on a 15-0 run in their last 2.

you jinxed it

 

[KarmaPolice]

Canada even makes beautiful own goals

We do everything at a very high skill level.

McDavid looks even more damn good with the extra ice.

 

[HasbeenHallzy]

McDavid better have himself a dominate performance, otherwise I'm going to have to start being a little (or a lot) critical of the way he plays at this tournament.

If he doesn't pot 2 goals and 2 assists powering Canada to a at minimum 5-1 win, then the gloves will come off. You people can waste your time all you want with Darnell Nurse...but winning and losing doesn't rest on Darnell's shoulders.

Aho>McDavid confirmed

 

[Oilers Propagandist]

Oilers are the best.
Players of the game 2 games in a row. Next up is Nurse.

Bow down pliss.

Yeah the speed and pace of the game have increased notably in the NHL in the past few years. The young players all skate so damn well. IMO that is really showing in this tournament. The weaker teams aren't equipped at all to deal with that - it's problematic enough for most NHL defences.

 

[Instant]

So it's official, the end of McDavid's career...

 

[admire]

Congrats Canada...great game.

Just out of our league.

Seems like a wishful thinking more than a good argument. I mean, how does "NHL greatness" explain Russia's 20-0 trashing of France, Austria and Belarus, or Finland's destruction of Latvia 8-1. Finland and espescially Russia are mostly comprised of european-based players.

 

[NyQuil]

Coming out of this one, I can only feel bitter disappointment at what McDavid failed to achieve.

Ship this guy out of town!
