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

[Snippit]

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.

Wouldn't go that far, it'll be interesting to see who won the 5v5 xGF battle.

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

Byram is near to 30 minutes already.

Kid has crazy stamina.

 

[IHaveNoCreativity]

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

Very good in the D zone, suffocating, Czechs throwing everything. Hoping it goes in, they should pull Malik now.

 

[Three On Zero]

VERY good game by the Czechs. They played well

 

[Henkka]

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.

Will be a fun Bronze medal game.

 

[MuzzaFuzza]

God Byfield is so meh.

 

[Fatass]

Hopefully Podkolzin.

Yup. Take out their best player.

 

[habsrule4eva3089]

I know he got a 6 pt game but Byfield is not an impressive Hockey player likewise for Perfetti who can't skate.

 

[HockeyAddict]

Its on to the semi's but this was not a good outing for Canada... not taking away from the Czechs effort but the coaching staff did not prepare this team properly prior to this game.

 

[1989]

unfortunately people legit think that low of byfield its ridiculous.

They're just kids. There's just no telling who will make it and HF "wizards" are about as reliable as projecting player futures as the weird psychic with the crystal ball down the street.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Skate take the man your bigger than everyone else out there

 

[Del Preston]

Levi wants a goal.

 

[Alerion]

That's dumb

 

[Odie Cleghorn]

What is with the Suzuki love? Why is he out there right now?

Mut have something on someone? Rees or Jarvis (other Hurricanes) probably should have beaten him out for a spot on the team.

 

[Hagstrom]

What an effort by the Czechs this game, I don't think many expected it to be this close, they deserve credit

 

[McJedi]

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

Harley and Schneider had a rough night so Byram needed more ice time.

 

[Peiskos]

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.

Levi will be the last line of defence and he’s been fantastic this tournament.

 

[Luolis]

Lets be real, they would never have called that penalty at 2-0

 

[McDrai]

Levi wants a goal.

I laughed when I saw that
He's not content with the W and giving up no goals...has to go for the goal as well

 

[Czechboy]

Awesome job, as expected, by Canada. I predicted a Canada Russia final but I'm hearing it is the semi now. Shame.

 

[Go19]

What an effort by the Czechs this game, I don't think many expected it to be this close, they deserve credit

They have had a pretty good tourney - this game and the Russian game will give them something to hang their heads high with

 

[IHaveNoCreativity]

Levi will be the last line of defence and he’s been fantastic this tournament.

He’s yet to be beat clean.

 

[Smif]

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

Ahhh, we're doing this now are we...

 

[NyQuil]

Another chess match with the Czechs but we got the all important first goal and Levi outduelled Malik.

 

[Czechboy]

Czech top 3 players.. Nick Malik, Jagr's nephew and Straka's cousin.lol
