Krebs has really emerged. I'd say he's been Canada's best forward other than Cozens.

I can't see this game staying 2-0. If Canada scores next then I imagine the Czechs fold. If the Czechs score then we could be in for a good one.

lets hope that happens .. I don't want a late 2-1 score

Proud of the way Czechs have played here. Can’t ask for anything more. Never expected a win but wanted a hard fought battle. We sure have that.

Exactly this... first 2 games were 2-1.. I didn't want us to be the first blowout of the day.lol
 
This game looks more like Canada looking for an opportunity to open up. They need to make their opportunities. I'm sure they're being told that and are aware, but time to up the pace appreciably. They can do it.

Idk, i think they are okay playing the third the way they played the second. The Czech didn't really get any opportunities that period, just lots of icings.

Not sure if it's coaching or whatever, but he's looking far better than he normally looks at Wisconsin.

He looked really good in the first 2 games for Wisconsin this year.

I think it’s a case of a guy who just takes a big jump from one year to the next. He seems like a very high ceiling type of player, you can see why coaches like him so much.

He competes hard all over the ice below the dots at both ends. Doesn’t have elite hands or stick handling but he’s an excellent skater and does so many other noticeable things right for a team. I love the effort he plays with each shift.

Canada is just playing with their B game, does not look energetic. They should play with 8 defenders so that there is more available energy for the defender to join the play. Perhaps the defender can ignite the forwards as they are not very energetic.

Worst forwards for TC are J. Quinn and N. Suziki.

Can you give me an example where they do that to a Russian player? They were doing that to Stutzle as well, and while he's good, there are plenty of Russian players of at least his skill level imo. He wasn't able to even deke out Russian defencemen, who aren't even considered that good.

You joking? TSN has been having spasms over Stutzle, even in the loss to Canada they were empresses with his grit and compete. And I don’t think you will find many who believe even one of Russia’s players is on Stutzle’s level.

But yes, they do this for standouts of every country. Your bias angle is bunk.

Ryan Suzuki. I think Canada would look pretty dangerous with Nick on the roster.

A huge break for the Czech team, i.e. Canada not scoring in the 2nd after a total domination. A remote chance for an upset in the 3rd now?

Canada has missed more high danger chances and come closer to scoring quite a few times more than the Czechs. This game is closer to 5-0 than 2-1.
