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

[BertCorbeau]

How's dermott been ?

Good, scored a goal

 

[Remotion]

Not bad.

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

Ahhh very true. Thank you kind sir

 

[NyQuil]

Good, scored a goal

And that.

 

[HarrisonFord]

I liked Chabot and Gauthier too.

Didn't like Hicketts though and Marner looks tired.

Agreed about Marner. I think he'll pick it up in the second though

 

[BertCorbeau]

And that.

But you're right too .. Not much on the defensive side of things and with four d-pairings for Canada there isn't much ice time to be had.

that scoring summary, no secondary assists

 

[docbenton]

Point the best player by far, no surprise.

 

[canwincup]

Is Barzal on the outside looking in??

 

[Flyers Time]

how has konecky looked

 

[HarrisonFord]

how has konecky looked

Really good so far

 

[Canada4Gold]

Is Barzal on the outside looking in??

no I'd say Barzal is a lock.

I am a bit confused though why he and 2 guys I don't consider locks are the scratches.

 

[Skip2myBordyloo]

Is Barzal on the outside looking in??

I would assume so considering the other scratches on forward. I'd take him over a good number of guys in the bottom 6 though.

 

[HarrisonFord]

no I'd say Barzal is a lock.

Bob said they're on the bubble, being saved until tomorrow to see how they play against tougher competition

 

[Stud Muffin]

Quit asking how players look it's Belarus the obviously are not playing bad

 

[NyQuil]

Lowry never looks healthy.

Like he's about to keel over.

All the time.

 

[NyQuil]

Quit asking how players look it's Belarus the obviously are not playing bad

NO ONE DISCUSS ANYTHING!

It's Belarus!

 

[HarrisonFord]

[Maple Leaf]

how has konecky looked

I was quite impressed. Fast, good in corners

 

[HarrisonFord]

Pretty nasty moves by Marner there

 

[BertCorbeau]

Marner flying around, slick

 

[NyQuil]

Marner much more involved.

Wow, very impressive exhibition of puck carrying.

Bob said everyone except Marner, Strome, Crouse, Point and Virtanen are on the bubble when in reality they've likely decided a few others will be on the team by now.

Like Barzal, Beauvillier I would think are pretty much locks at this point. Perlini, and Konecny as well are likely locks too, probably Gauthier too, maybe even Stephens.

Of course we won't know for sure, but I'd be massively shocked if Barzal didn't make it.

 

[Snippit]

That Marner shift...

 

[Marlander93]

Virtanen looks bad

 

[BertCorbeau]

Virtanen with a penalty on the PP .. Not too smart

 

[BertCorbeau]

And now Dermott .. Too aggressive
