McIsaac takes a lot of heat around here but that was a great play.

Lafreniere draws the penalty, kid does it all.

 

[Team Cozens]

Woooo!!!!

Lafreniere to Hayton

Nice turnover caused by Cozens and a secondary assist. Feels like Cozens has been on the ice for
every Canadian goal this tournament. He's in every goal celebration scrum at least. lol

Yep, paid the price too.

 

[vippe]

Why do Canada want to play a game like this? They have absolutely nothing to gain from playing this run and gun hockey against a far inferior team.

How many odd man rushes will they let Slovakia have?

Canada will still win, but I dont get it..

 

[Erikfromfin]

Lafreniere not very strong... easily taken down

 

[novisor]

Did I just hear Wham?

I did as well, it is still the holiday's. First couple days Christmas music could be heard pretty regularly.

 

[Machinehead]

Is Fasko-Rudas related to Radko Gudas?

I don't feel like that at all.. I see him collecting a lot of secondary assists though so you could be right

 

[TheYardMachine]

Lafreniere is deceptive with the puck

Canada has given up 1...maybe 2 shots since the penalty ended.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Lafreniere is deceptive with the puck

He plays angles and opens up lanes very well.

 

[wacko2]

Lafreniere is deceptive with the puck

Canada's most skilled player and it's not even close.

I feel bad for you and whatever happened to make you this way.

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

Canada back trying to be too fancy looking for the perfect pass, get the puck on net with bodies in front

 

[vippe]

Canada has given up 1...maybe 2 shots since the penalty ended.

Yes but 3-4 odd man rushes. And there's no need to do that.

 

[jj cale]

One thing that leaps out at you with Lafreniere is his quick hands, he does these quick and tight in space side shuffle with the puck that leaves defenders stoned before he makes plays, you blink and you will miss the puck movement he does. he processes what to do with the puck very quickly after doing it also, sign of a real good player.

Wonderful part of his skill set.

He's been on the ice for the most Canadian goals. 13 so far.
Veleno (2nd most) has been on for 11.

Agreed, they need to cut that shit out.

Thanks. It felt that way!

Switches the angle all the time with his hand movement. Draws defenders and opens passing lanes that way.

 

[MoDoJoel]

Slovakia is keeping up much better than I expected. Doubt they'll last 3 periods tho

 

[Star Ocean]

canada has a good chance to win gold with a player like Lafreniere. Without him, I am not so sure.

 

[tobu]

This has been closer than everyone expected so far.

Did I hear earlier that the Slovaks discontinued their HK20 Orange team (Junior development team much like USNTDP).
