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

[Eternal Leaf]

It just feels like maybe 5 or 6 of these guys belong on the team and everyone else is just a replacement level invisible nobody that contributes nothing. No leadership at any level. No swagger. No identity.

A lot of them are realizing they don't belong here.

 

[HuGo Sham]

It's like they picked all bunch of third liners

and now a bonehead knee on knee. These kids aren’t prepared. Cameron chose several grinders that are not even playing a f***ing system. They look lost, stressed and feeling the pressure of playing at home as an “alleged” favourite.
terrible penalties, no accountability. Practices cancelled. Cameron looks like an absolute wide-eyed dunce in front of the cameras.
It’s a f***ing disaster

“Can't. I can't address it. They know it. They know the penalties are penalties. You talk all you want … They have to decide as simple as that."​

Might not be 3rd liners on their club team but this tourney is a different animal. They also keep shooting themselves in the foot.

5 and a game

 

[GreatSaveEssensa]

I mean in reality it's not a penalty but for iihf yeah it'll be a 5

Huh? In reality that was a direct knee on knee hit. And I’m cheering for Canada.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Knee on knee isn’t a knee on knee?

Have to actually hit the knee I would think. Not the thigh.

 

[Oilslick941611]

Canada has done this the entire tournament so far. Get a ton of shots but they are all from the outside and low danger.

This is the first game i've been able to see from the start. Needless to say not impressed with this team or its selection. There are too many good players left at home. The record is deserved from what i have seen.

 

[MNRube]

Bury them, Czechia.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

This Canada team is straight trash

 

[jj cale]

It's like they want you to dislike them, that's how they play.

Not sure I'd categorize two as a ton of shots...

 

[JPeeper]

Is that even knee on knee, it looks like knee on midsection. Looked extremely painful.

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

Looked like a good hit to me based on the replays. There's no knee contact at all. There's a little thigh on thigh but he also got the upper body. I don't see a penalty there.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Knee on knee isn’t a knee on knee?

Spektre needs spectacles

 

[Speedy Cerviche]

The crowd booing is absolutely classless. Pathetic.

All tournament

 

[MXD]

That was worse than the Slovakia-Finland incident

 

[Bounces R Way]

I absolutely hate that hit and I am really starting to hate this team

 

[gritdash60]

When a similar thing happened in Finland vs. Slovakia this dude on TSN was sure it's 5, now it's not even close to 5 in his opinion. Go figure

 

[Pavels Dog]

That was dirty. Zero intent to make a clean play there.

 

[shello]

Shoulder made contact first, shouldn't be a 5

 

[Woodrow]

5 and a game

 

[TheBeastCoast]

lmao the Czech player with the smile on his face looking around for the ref.

 

[hockey20000]

lol these refs.. cze player looking for call before "acting hurt" give me a break

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

I can already imagine the coaches post game press conference
