Hockey Canada operates like they are entitled to success. Catching up with them now
It seems to catch up to them every few years. The worst part though is the coaching. This team isn’t playing like a typical team Canada. They aren’t getting to the net, they aren’t physical and they keep the perimeter. They have no shape in the D or O zone and seem to wing it out there.

We knew the result that was coming when this team was announced and we knew it with greater certainty after the USA game. No use in crying spilled milk.

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.
2 points per game in the WHL as a 16 year old isn’t impressive enough for you? (I know he turned 17 a few weeks ago)

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.
Yeah what’s the justification for that? Trying to keep their legs fresh or what?

Tons of cope from the panel, I also agree that shouldn't have been a penalty, but the team is losing because they have stupid turnovers, don't play defense, give up odd man rushes and play hero hockey from bum players like Cowan. They f***ing scored on the 5 minute penalty ffs.

Don't even mention the complete incompetence from the coaching staff.

Also, leave the kids alone.

Sure, they make mistakes but they don't get to choose the how/when/why they were picked to represent the team. They don't get to choose to be underorganized, undercoached. They want to be successful more than literally anyone in the moment, but they need some direction, analysis of the opposition, etc.
I wouldn't even play Dickenson the rest of the game. He's probably so rattled.
They're already down a player tonight, so how is benching another going to help?

This always happens in the WJHCs. It used to be waaaaay worse but if you deliver a huge hit its a penalty.
