GDT: Quarter Final | Canada Vs Czech Republic | 1/2 @ 6:30PM | TSN/NHLN

[Cotton]

If the Czechs just get that next goal Canada is in deep shit.

Only if they can get 2 more after that.

 

[Prominence Problem]

The CZE player was not wrong for going down there on the one on two. He was cross checked. CZE is one successful power-play away from only being down one with half the third to go.

God I missed hockey. This is fun.

I guess coach is just mixing the bender. Something's off tonight with this team

Looks like Holloway is playing centre as well, which is good he’s really strong on the draws as I mentioned.

That line just had a good shift, they’re 3 physical players I like it actually as a strong energy type 2nd line.

 

[Fatass]

Feels like a Kings type of draft choice to me, though. Slow and heavy (not saying Byfield is 'slow' by any means) was their bread and butter in their recent glory years, maybe related to that.

I think he’s a fast skater, but he’s not quick, which is expected for his length.

 

[Dominance]

And who gave Cozens a goal?

Yeah, that’s not how any of this works.

 

[Laphroaig]

Haha, there goes a cross-check.

Of course no penalty.

We could just cancel this joke tournament.

And to think I used to like Finns.

 

[The Price is Right]

Boring game... Canada should he dominating but its just Boring hockey

 

[jj cale]

Only if they can get 2 more after that.

And the first is where it can begin.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Drysdale is so good at creating space for himself.. Chess vs Checkers

 

[Bounces R Way]

Still kind of miffed at what Ryan Suzuki is doing on this team.

 

[John Agar]

We really do ice it a lot.lol

A team of Mark Stuart's...

Since Mark is retired...

He and his wife started a cake making business...

Mark does all the icing...

Definitely a cross check, definitely a missed call and we definitely need a PP as we haven't had one yet. But I honestly think the refs have been good.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Nice shift there from the Cozens line

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

And to think I used to like Finns.

What happened

 

[fahad203]

So your dad sets you up and you lecture other people on not investing?

Questade..........

Teams aren’t just going to roll over and quit against us.

Give some credit to the Czechs as well, they’re battling hard out there. I’m glad it’s a tough physical game for us.

You have posted so many good gifs but this one is my fav!

Yeah, its not like the Czech look dangerous. They are just playing prevent defence. Smothering everything. They are playing like its a 0-0 soccer game. Someone should tell the Czechs they are down by 2 goals and should try playing offence.

 

[Cotton]

If does seem like Canada has gotten the benefit of the doubt each time. Bad look given the ref situation. Maybe they should have quarantined some American refs?

American refs are known for bias, we have no history of that. If anything I’d take Russian refs over American.

 

[habsrule4eva3089]

Byfield appears slow because he can't read the game quick.

 

[Harbourmouth]

Feels like a Kings type of draft choice to me, though. Slow and heavy (not saying Byfield is 'slow' by any means) was their bread and butter in their recent glory years, maybe related to that.

He looks like he maxes out to be a Lucic in his prime (Boston days). Not necessarily a good thing in today’s game and for a second overall pick.

That's exactly what Germans did to Russians and Czech did to Russians. Take away the neutral and skill out of the game. Keep everything to the outside

It's boring but rather effective. Czech arent' going to trade chances

But it’s still hockey.
