So the same thing he always does

One game he is dominating physically and taking over the game.

Next game you forget he is one the ice.

Barring the last place teams. He doesn't have the talent to take over any games in a tournament of this magnitude.

He's not good enough. And character won't help you.

 

[TeddyBare]

Weak goal

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Not a great one from Hart.

Canada just controlled the puck in the Swiss zone for a good 15-20 seconds and didn't get a single shot on goal.

 

[Alerion]

This is an absolute snoozefest. I missed the first two games so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt tonight but Team Canada looks lethargic and disinterested outside of that fantastic start.

 

[scotian1]

For Pete's sake shoot Strome.

 

[docbenton]

Not that impressed with Chabot's game with the puck. Brilliant skater but not much creativity, and not a great shot either. We should have kept Girard just for the PP, he looked good there.

 

[McFlyingV]

Hischier looks incredible

 

[Ducks Nation*]

Canada is slow

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Canada is slow

No they aren't lol

 

[docbenton]

Dubois has looked pretty good, critics of him this game are being unfair. I don't know if he'll ever have as good of a game as the TPG where he dominated in every zone like I've never seen someone dominate the TPG before but let's not be disappointed in him unfairly.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Canada is skating again.

 

[habsrule4eva3089]

Love games like this Swiss Hockey, Danish Hockey all improving. Great for the game.

 

[Joe Zanussi]

Whats thecscore?

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Whats thecscore?

3-3.

 

[Joe Zanussi]

Thank you

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Good pressure but nothing to show in the last 10 minutes

 

[docbenton]

Hischier looks incredible

Impressed by his intelligence, execution and surprising strength on the puck fueled by excellent balance/edgework.

Who cares? It's only an exhibition game and as far as I can tell, they looked very good the previous two games. No one is playing their 100% in the last exhibition game before a tournament. I know you are just describing what you see, but the reality is that nothing, including how they "look", from this particular game matters.

Not to mention that the Swiss took the Americans to OT in their last game.

Not that it matters, but that's incorrect. Usa was up 4-2 with 8 seconds left. Swiss scored to make it a 4-3 final.

Oh my mistake.

 

[JayKing]

Hischier looks incredible

Not sure where I'd put him compared to Ehlers just yet but he's damn close. Definitely better than Meier. Man the Moosheads have been blessed with some talented players in recent years.

 

[Tripod]

Glad Myers got an assist on the GWG...keep up the great play!

 

[Bruins78]

How has Lauzon looked?
