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

[RJJ]

Boy, he needed that, maybe the floodgates will open.

 

[Alerion]

That puck was about a foot from going over the glass. Phew.

 

[c9gunner]

Raska's hockey IQ is really low.

 

[habsrule4eva3089]

I thought McMicheal was going to turn around and hit a shin pad but he did well on that empty net.

 

[fahad203]

Surprised he didn't shoot that into a shin pad.

He tried, that's why it went into the net

 

[snipes]

We want Russia!!

We want Russia!!

 

[McJedi]

Three stars.
Krebs
Byram
Levi

 

[Mikeshane]

Czechs played well they just needed a star player that could generate offence for them.

 

[Spic Bud]

Can't take a joke? Get some fresh air and give your nuts a tug and cool down. It's too early in the new year for you to get so worked up

unfortunately people legit think that low of byfield its ridiculous.

 

[Odie Cleghorn]

Your history with hockey means nothing in this context and your gate keeping reflects negatively on your argument.

It is a bad idea to have referees from the same country referee a game and it’s a bad look in this game (whether or not it was intentional); Hockey Canada should have expended the money to diversify their referees for optics and fairness

Wouldn't it be the IIHF paying? And who says the Canadian govt would allow them in the country?

 

[jj cale]

Needless to say wasn't our best game but got the job done. Czechs really competed hard, they gave everything they had for sure.

 

[Oilslick941611]

Never in doubt, The Czech never looked dangerous or threatening. They did play well though, but as the old saying goes, you don't score goals from your own end.

 

[Smif]

Team Canada doesn't play physical anymore?

I remember the days when they used to run over teams

We'd also PK half the game. This is better.

 

[Fatass]

Which is kind of neat because this was predicted by most to be a blowout!

Canada is going to have real trouble with the US. We are giving up way too many high quality shots, and those US kids are shooters.

 

[trilobyte]

Levi really solid when it counts

I really like his composure. He has been a very good choice to carry things for Canada up til now.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

I feel very confident with Levi in there with the Russians and potentially Americans up next. I am sure the team will be dialed in for the Russians. Everyone take a breath...we won the game and are moving on.

 

[Czechboy]

Now we get a PP.lol Not complaining about refs... but it's kind of funny.

 

[iCanada]

Canada getting outshot! Did not expect that.

Eh, Czechs have played very very well, but honestly the shot attempts are probably 50-35 or so in Canada's favour. Czechs have sold out blocking shots hard. Good on them.

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

Next!

 

[Killahpunk]

PP for Czech.

 

[Rhaegar Targaryen]

I can’t even remember a good scoring chance by the Czech’s. This was a defensive masterpiece by Canada.

 

[IHaveNoCreativity]

Levi good when he had to be, we should have scored a goal or 2 more.

 

[McDrai]

Byfield makes an appearance

 

[Smif]

Gg Czech's, bunch of soldiers.

 

[violaswallet]

Wouldn't it be the IIHF paying? And who says the Canadian govt would allow them in the country?

Hmm good question: I thought the hockey federation of the sponsoring country covers most expenses? (Wasn’t there an article about the flight situation because of it) I could be wrong though

It reflects negatively by noting we have zero prior history, or even suspicion, of cheating or bias in over 100 years of international competition? Riiight. You sound very insecure.

There is a pandemic, these are the refs, crying about it won’t change anything - it’ll only create arguments in this thread.
