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

[Evil__Homer]

well Czechs, Finns, Swedes...........it's up to you now fellas.

Don't let me down.

Swedes all the way.

 

[Jussi]

Oh great, if the Czechs win, Finland vs Sweden in the semifinal...

 

[lancepitlick]

I’m talking about what trait separates him from others as being touted the next great Canadian. As I said McDavid had the speed that popped, Bedard had the shot, I don’t see any standout trait from Mckenna

Seems more like a John Tavares.

 

[the valiant effort]

What percent of HFers in these threads bop their heads to TSN’s music choices? Thinking 97%

Do you watch the WHL? He has great stick handling and is a terrific passer.

TSN is at their worst at the WJCs.

It’s very incestuous and creepy.

They spend far too much time glorifying junior players that will be lucky to get a coffee in the NHL.

 

[Smif]

This TSN intermission show reminds me of propaganda from state run media. Jesus Christ.

I didn't see a penalty on the play if that's what you're referring to...Hit him core.on core.

 

[5 14 6 1]

This team desperately needs a WHL injection. Let's play the dub kids please.

 

[Chainshot]

Well it kind of is.


Tsn basically gave birth to the popularity of this tournament.

It’s best to not take it to heart.

They did kind of start the holiday tradition that has become so much of the season, for sure. I'm sure they don't want to think of what their ratings will be if Canada isn't even in the medal round.

 

[Nogatco Rd]

Even teammates are sick of Cowan

just needed a couple more leg kicks and he would’ve had it

 

[Bounces R Way]

How much do you think the country music has contributed to this gigantic failure?

Safe to say at least 85%

Luke Bryan could coach a better penalty kill than this

 

[NyQuil]

People forget that this tournament basically made this network.

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

Except Molendyk. Kid has gone rogue tonight.

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

Imagine writing and performing that song and then having it inexorably and forever connected to this legendary WJC performance.

It's a very fitting song for this team.

 

[pgcougsfan]

Oh great, if the Czechs win, Finland vs Sweden in the semifinal...

I’m taking Finland all day long

 

[Jordan Belfort]

The team looks petrified out there. I wonder how much social media they read

 

[JPeeper]

Just for that all of the London Knight's players ice-time just went up.

 

[OttersFan]

When a team is eliminated, is that when their trade freeze is lifted or is it a blanket statement until Monday morning?

 

[PanniniClaus]

But under no circumstances will Dave Cameron give Beau Akey more than 2 minutes of ice time.

well - i'd be telling Akey to get ready. Dickinson would not see another shift

 

[fahad203]

Come back starts now

Screw you non believers

 

[Czechboy]

Hoping for a 17-1 Czechia win

​

This has 5-4 written all over it

This would just be another backwater tournament ala the hlinka tournament without tsns support in the 90s and 00s. Crowds where very thin and sparse in those days.

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

I don't think countries can make trades.

Though it might be worth a shot at this point

 

[Smif]

Busy reading socials instead of practicing.

 

[NyQuil]

Come back starts now

Screw you non believers

That’s the spirit!

This team is more of a second period team anyway.
