GDT: Pre-tournament • Dec. 20 • Canada vs. Czech Republic

[Heldig]

Don't see Merkley making the team but he has quietly generated 3 or 4 scoring chances today.

 

[HispanicAtTheDisco]

Konecny has been absolutely dynamic today.

 

[Steamwhistle]

I understand you're a leafs fan so you're obviously not his biggest fan but I mean marner hasn't been looking great today and he's not getting called a 3rd liner

No need to get upset over an off hand comment

who are you talking to? I can't see anyone calling Virtanen a 3rd liner, must be someone on my ignore list?

 

[HarrisonFord]

what a great passing play from Strome to Marner there

 

[MXD]

Anybody else has the feeling Lauzon and Dermott are fighting for the same spot... And that the onus is on Lauzon to supplant Dermott?

Are the cuts right after the game?

That king Joffrey guy. Called Virt invisible, a third liner and said it's a joke that he's playing on the pp lmao. Nobody here seems to take that guy seriously anyways

 

[Tripod]

Yeah Dermott hasn't impressed at all today. Likely to get brought along as a 7 D to QB the 1st or 2nd PP Regardless of how he plays even strength, there's no denying his ability to distribute the puck.

Or...leave him off and just play Sanheim who is just as good if not better offensively.

 

[Steamwhistle]

They should come later in the day, I'd expect them to be announced mid afternoon.

You typically want more than just one good PP QB

The only thing I saw from him was just ragging on everything not QMJHL and telling off hockey Canada for all the Q players cut/not invited. It's probably got a lot to do with that and nothing to do with being a Leafs fan so the other guy shouldn't have even brought that up.

Being a Leafs fan has 0 impact on any Leafs fans opinion except Marner and Dermott for obvious reasons, not sure why anyone would bring that up when discussing Virtanen.

 

[Plub]

That was a good shift.

 

[Jason MacIsaac]

See if Quenneville gets an extended look on Strome and Marner's line.

 

[199991]

I see Merkley and Quenneville being cut and McKeown + Lauzon on Defence

 

[Steamwhistle]

Gauthier-Beauvellier showing great chemistry today

 

[tade]

Vanecek is great! Huge saves.

 

[Skip2myBordyloo]

Virtanen made something out of nothing right there, nice effort.

They should come later in the day, I'd expect them to be announced mid afternoon.

Sweet. Thanks.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Double shift.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Gauthier-Beauvellier showing great chemistry today

eh line

 

[HockeyGuruPitka]

The large ice has been a major adjustment for team Canada.

 

[MXD]

Color guy in RDS said he'd cut Juulsen, Hickey on D.
I cant see both Lauzon and Dermott make it, honestly.

 

[Gaunce4gm]

There was beef on the main board between Canucks and Leafs fans talking about Gauthier being an ECHL level prospect. It was 2 dumb nucks poster and then a few leafs players said crap about virtanen. Either way it's stupid. Back to WJCs our PP looks awful.

 

[Steamwhistle]

No way I'd cut Juulsen, guy has been a rock in the D-zone.
