GDT: Pre-tournament • Dec. 19 • Canada vs. Belarus

[saintflannel]

Crouse is hurt. Oh no.

 

[Atomos2]

Crouse not with Strome/Marner anymore?

I think they basically sat Strome and Marner for the last 8 minutes of the game.

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Crouse is hurt. Oh no.

Thanks Hicketts.

 

[Breakers]

Ugggghhhh

2 returning players out

 

[MXD]

Okay, why the slapshot with 4 seconds left in a 7-1 game ?

 

[Plub]

Ouch, Crouse hurting.

 

[Matias Maccete]

Anyone know of a place to find highlights? I missed the first 5 goals, and want to see if strome did anything stromeish.

 

[Maple Leaf]

That Santa looks pretty fake

Don't think thats him

 

[Stud Muffin]

Santa is real

 

[Plub]

I was thinking the same thing. Had a guy in front in a nothing game. At least keep it on the ice.

It's the real one I'm sure.

Players trying to pad those stats in an exhibition

Never knew Santa got into politics.

not sure if you need to login to watch these or not since they're on tsn but...

Hicketts is an idiot... 4 seconds left and a needs to take a giant one-timer with his own guys in front? Take the pass and put the puck in the corner. You are a lock.

Yeah pretty terrible decision

Especially a rising slap shot like that.

Wasn't a brilliant move.

Pretty much the dominant performance that was expected today. Better gauge tomorrow. Canada's defense looked great but hard to make much out of the goaltending today, just not enough offense from Belarus.

Onward and upward boys.

 

[Breakers]

So who didn't people like on defense??

I'm not concerned about the offense.

 

[Nick Lang]

good thing I'd put Perlini with them

You have to like the guy that does everything right and is just a tad behind the draft class. Well you don't have to but you should. These are the guys that develop. Not to mention his father.

Thanks for the links, you may be right about the login, it won't load the clips.

I'm not concerned about the offense.

Dermott was meh...bad transition game
Not a fan of Mckeown ...he look avg.

Lauzon was ok..tough to gauge as he only got 5 vs 5 vs a bad team and with Mckeown.

Fleury-Chabot looked amazing

Offense: Chartier-Virtanen-Crouse dont bring much...

I might offend some Van fans...but Virtanen should be a 3rd or th4th liner on this team..

Marner-Beauvillier-Gauthier-Konecky are better wingers than him

 

[nowhereman]

Well, looks like Marner and Virtanen suck. I mean, it's not like this is a meaningless game against Belarus or anything...

Marner is an OHL superstar and Virtanen is an NHLer. These guys don't care about some pointless exhibition game. All I can do is shake my head at those criticizing them.

Virtanen... a fourth liner?

 

[leaflover]

So who didn't people like on defense??

I'm not concerned about the offense.

They all looked really solid. Need to throw them out again against stiffer competition to find any weaknesses, can't really roll with the same guys though.
