Pounder is explaining basic hockey tactics.

Make her the coach.

Love her. So smart. Could listen to her for hours

 

[NyQuil]

This thread is more entertaining than the game

We make our own fun.

 

[OttersFan]

Put Schaefer behind the bench.

 

[LastOne2100]

Heck its the first game I watch this tournament have they always looked this terrible?

i thought they’d be decent with the names they left out

What a bunch of clowns running this

Yes. Other than the Finland game they've been terrible every single game.

 

[ZDH]

Injury is irrelevant to the call, this isn't the NHL.

It wasn't even a penalty though.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Hockey Canada operates like they are entitled to success. Catching up with them now

Karma for…things

f*** em’

 

[The Shadow]

I hate seeing that coach’s face. I hope he’s gone and never seen on any team I care about again

 

[6ix]

He’s not the problem

Where did I say he’s the problem? I’m simply asking what stand out trait does he have when being claimed the next great Canadian.

 

[North]

Haven’t watched Canada at all until tonight damn Dickinson is having a rough one and Cowan trying to do too much by himself. Really liked what I saw from Yager.

Yager is the best Canadian forward this game.

 

[Chainshot]

Is this management group going to get crucified.

man, they are in for some serious heat.

As well they should.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Bobby Mac with the correct take.

 

[5 14 6 1]

Lots of time left to right the ship

I feel like they need to breathe. The pressure is getting to them. Which has been the case all tournament. Gripping the sticks tight. Overthinking things

Every kid probably reading social media the whole time between games where they are being brutalized too. Can't be good for confidence. Up to coaching staff to help that. But coaching staff has done nothing to bring team together. Not a single practice since the 27th? Hilarious.

 

[Bgav]

That 5 min penalty was such a joke

 

[scotian1]

Sadly this team is broken.

 

[Jordan Belfort]

Dickinson and Easton Cowan are horrible hockey players.

But the coach continues to let these bums play and cost the team. So it is what it is.

It’s not even the kids fault at this point. They are nervous and not playing well but their coach keeps putting them out. It’s shocking

 

[FinPanda]

Yes. Other than the Finland game they've been terrible every single game.

And was that more to do with Finland being bad as well as Canada not being good but still better than bad Finland?

 

[canucksfan]

I wouldn't even play Dickenson the rest of the game. He's probably so rattled.

 

[v00d00daddy]

Yup

Thigh on thigh

 

[pgcougsfan]

McKenna was like the best player against the US, outside of George of course.

If he was playing on the second line behind Cristall - Misa - Sennecke, it would already be an improvement

He has been good on the power play with Yager.
Even if those guys were picked for the team I really don’t think they could overcome Dave Cameron’s coaching masterclass, Dickinson and Cowan would still be the focal point of the team.

 

[ZDH]

Bobby Mac with the correct take.

Yup. Not even a penalty.

 

[Eye of Ra]

Rip Canada

They probably made TikToks instead

 

[Evil__Homer]

That 5 min penalty was such a joke

The announcers talking about it as well. LMAO

 

[TonsofPuppies]

Team isn’t nearly good enough

This team scored two more goals than f***ing Kazakhstan in the round robin. Not nearly good enough? This is the worst Canadian team at any level since the 2006 Torino olympics team. This is the worst Canadian junior team I've ever watched in my entire life. This team sucks harder than an airplane toilet.

Can't... you just can't.
