11 straight periods for Bedard points, I think.

 

[deadhead]

I’d probably point to his shot as something that has flashed at times if anything even taking out today’s game. He’s had some shots that have challenged goalies or beaten them without actually going in at times.

What impresses me is the quick release on his wrist shot and good accuracy - that will go a long way in the NHL.

This isn't something new, he out shot Foerster who was drafted on the basis of his shooting skills last summer.

Gauthier’s shooting ability came as advertised. He has a cannon of a shot and a quick release as well. To my eyes, his wrister appeared more dangerous at this point than his one-timer, but that wasn’t too shabby, either. On the whole, I was actually more impressed with the quality of Gauthier’s shot than that of Tyson Foerster, and that’s not a slight against the Flyers’ 2020 first-round pick. Gauthier’s shot just looked even heavier and more overpowering, a promising sign.

This is just emotional frustration but part of me wonders how he’s going to hold up physically in the NHL. He’s going to be a target, and with his size - and what I low key question in terms of escapability with his skating.

Shall see…

Hit that silver spoon bastard, and let’s see how he holds up.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Double Nemec goal there.

 

[FlyerNutter]

f*** you.

Nice of them to consent to giving up face offs so easily.

 

[CutOnDime97]

We got ourselves a ball game

 

[Magua]

More players need to have white sticks and white tape. Doesn’t get more drippy.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

I have lost the ability to quote, @FlyerNutter, but Bedard will hold up fine physically in the NHL.

Snipe from Ostapchuk.

Just not tonight

Bastards. That’s game there.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Brutal backcheck from Bedard, who may have also injured himself.

 

[Magua]

2 dives is a bold strategy, Cotton.

Chaos!

 

[FlyerNutter]

Wooooo.

Consent to that one bastards. Can’t defend shit

 

[CutOnDime97]

Bastards. That’s game there.

Gajan has been solid during the tournament.

Canada is lost when it can’t play offense. If it continues to be officiated this way there is a possibility.

 

[FlyerNutter]

Hahaha they are rattled.

Always enjoy seeing a Clarke on his ass.

 

[Tripod]

Clarke you dummy

@FlyerNutter

Do you always cheer against Canada, or just this iteration?

 

[FlyerNutter]

That will do.

This team is beatable. Punch them in the face, and make them defend. Can’t handle it.

@FlyerNutter

Do you always cheer against Canada, or just this iteration?

I’m from SVK right? I’ll cheer for them otherwise

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Ah, was not aware.

 

[Magua]

Shane Wright has definitely spent 3 months with Dirk Hakstok based on that interview.

Lol to see someone cheer with passion is such a foreign thing for flyers fans. Can't seem to remember last time we were universally excited by flyers. Truly might have been 14 or 16 playoffs, if not even a decade ago.

 

[ajgoal]

Canada winning the WJC is the equivalent of the Rangers winning the SC.

 

[FlyerNutter]

Spears shall be shaken. Shields shall be splintered. A sword day. A red day. And the sun rises!!!!

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Great push by Slovakia.
