Quarter Finals: Canada vs Czechia; Jan. 2, 2025; 19:30 EST

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

Dickinson is much better than what hes showing tonight. He's too much in his own head. Shoulda sit but instead hes being overplayed.

 

[Czechboy]

He’s really good when there’s not a lot at stake. In the big games he reverts to sounding like he posts in these threads

That's exactly it..I want to thread ban him.lol. But I really do like his commentary. I think he's great.

 

[Chainshot]

Price just got walked and let the czech in alone.

Consistency!

I feel like you could say this exact same thing about a number of guys on the team.

 

[NyQuil]

McKenna very consistently throws the puck into good areas. Unfortunately, he has not yet figured out to consistently get his head up before those passes because he’s throwing it away a lot.

Cowan has made some good passes this period.

Mckenna is expecting high IQ players to be where he puts the puck and they aren’t there.

 

[JPeeper]

How are they ass? It can literally be both. A cross check was committed then the dive occurred.

A lot of Canadian fans seem to have the mentality that everyone is out to get us and we should be praising everything Team Canada does and never criticize bEcUz ThEy'R'e kids (news flash, these are multi millionare young men, f*** off) when in reality the team is poorly constructed, the coaching staff is clueless, most don't understand IIHF rules are different than NHL rules, and the players themselves are playing like shit.

It's why I feel half our fanbase has turned to laughing at this pathetic mess.

 

[Reality Czech]

I’d like to see diving and embellishment as two separate penalties. Dive is only if no offending penalty occurred and embellishment if you embellish an actual call.

Has anyone seen an embellishment call without there being a call on the other team as well? I haven't

an 18 year old who scored in his own net.

That's still stuck in his head. He needs to shake it, make some easy passes, rebuild some confidence

Hmm good point. Either way, both penalties called there were warranted. Canadian player should've just kept playing instead of diving.

 

[Czechboy]

Zidlicky with a great hit

 

[NyQuil]

Johnson pointing out that Canada gets away with a holding the stick.

 

[Fraser28]

McKenna is so young still and will be an incredible player, but based on this tournament alone he has looked a lot less impressive than Bedard at the same age and hasn’t looked great overall.

 

[Avs44]

The lack of offensive talent on this Canadian back end is so apparent. Absolutely incompetent moving it through centre ice.

 

[fahad203]

Zidlicky with a great hit

Two great hits in that same sequence

 

[Evil__Homer]

So many shot attempts... so many misses. Wtf

 

[The Management]

Just haven't been good enough at gaining the zone.

 

[6ix]

Cowan has had some nice dishes to Mckenna. The young phenom has yet to make good on them

 

[Alienblood]

Cowan has made some good passes this period.

Mckenna is expecting high IQ players to be where he puts the puck and they aren’t there.

Cowan doesn't pass

 

[Mr Nogatco]

People forget that this tournament basically made this network.

Before the WJCs they had darts on shows like TSN Pub Nite.

Damn… “TSN Pub Nite”… they must be hard up for quality programming. I remember seeing lots of ads during the WC’s for some type of quilting competition.. the Great Canadian Quilt-Off or something, couldn’t believe that shit was real

 

[Chainshot]

They played Akey 2 minutes last game. They don’t care about straining energy levels.

His whole shift in the first period may have taxed him.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Cowan has had some nice dishes to Mckenna. The young phenom has yet to make good on them

Don't try and make it look like Cowan has been useful.

 

[Cool Hand Puke]

Has anyone seen an embellishment call without there being a call on the other team as well? I haven't

Yeah… it happens the leagues use them interchangeably. And they should be separate because both words mean something different.

 

[EK65IsAGod]

If there's one thing this team is good at is shooting it right into other players.

 

[hockey20000]

headlock hello? refs? jesus

 

[JPeeper]

McKenna being punished now, playing with Cowan and Ritchie.
