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

[Atomos2]

Strome and Virtanen the top 2 standouts of the 1st period for me

I liked Chabot and Gauthier too.

Didn't like Hicketts though and Marner looks tired.

 

[HarrisonFord]

Add Konecny to that list as well.. Strong start

Good call, should have been on my list

 

[NyQuil]

Point was good also.

 

[ulvvf]

Strome and Marner will be fun to see what they can do i WJC. I hope that Barzal make it

 

[Highlander23]

Strome and Virtanen the top 2 standouts of the 1st period for me

You mean Point, right ? he is the driver on that line

 

[NyQuil]

Canada should just decide to play half the 3rd period on the PK to practice that

 

[Flyers Time]

why is sanhiem scratched ?

Marner looks like he can't handle the puck

 

[MackAttack26]

Hard to tell who isn't playing well with no pressure against them...

Wasnt impressed with Lauzon though. Liked Dermott, Crouse and Chartier among others. Absolutely loved Point and Strome.

 

[Maple Leaf]

why is sanhiem scratched ?

Sanheim made this team years ago

 

[xIsle]

Belarus is such a bad team that it's pretty hard to judge the players. There is no real adversity.

Tomorrow against the czechs will give us a better idea I think.

bob **** mckenzie for nhl commisioner !

* lets end the nightmare

 

[supermann_98]

I'm listening on the radio.. They left Ferarro's mic on during the last intermission and you could hear him talking **** about Tampa and how they're going to lose Stamkos

Lol I wish I heard that one

 

[Marlander93]

Hopefully Lawson Crouse gets cut

 

[Canada4Gold]

now it all makes sense. Belarus did the warmup with any pucks because they weren't expecting to touch the puck during the game either

 

[Trigger96]

You mean Point, right ? he is the driver on that line

to me Virtanen stands out in a bad way....he's got decent hands and cycle game but he has terrible hockey IQ and no creativity for making plays.

 

[Proust*]

The only purpose of this game is to get the big guns firing. You simply cannot make evaluations off a game like this. Belarus is terrible.

We're just evaluating how much the big guns are firing.

Have to stretch our analytical muscles.

Warm up for the big tournament.

 

[Snippit]

That Interac debit commercial was awesome.

I thought him and Point looked good, excited to see what they do against tougher defenses

 

[NyQuil]

I want to see them ask:

"If you make the team, someone else doesn't. Who would you select to replace on the team?"

 

[Remotion]

How's dermott been ?

 

[NyQuil]

I love how, in the Chevrolet commercial, five children spontaneously say "Oh my gosh" at the exact same time.

 

[NyQuil]

How's dermott been ?

Not bad.

It's tough to evaluate defensive abilities in this game but he hasn't looked out of place at all.
