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

[King Woodballs]

lol seriously?
Clean draw won right to you and you handle it like it’s a grenade.

 

[fahad203]

Really appreciate Howe's energy

 

[Smif]

Let's go lads, I have faith.

 

[NyQuil]

That's why they pin Canadians flags on their jackets when they travel.

I like to pin a Welsh flag because it’s a dragon!

 

[Masterplan]

McKenna looks like a 17 year-old playing against guys 2 years older. Talented yes, but too soft.

 

[Woodrow]

Gotta get Ritchie and McKenna out there as much as possible.

 

[NyQuil]

Are the Czechs trying to sit on a lead? It's like two different teams now.

It’s their hockey culture.

Nobody does it better.

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

He’s probably talking about Jeff O’Neill.

Gotcha. I thought underbite guy was Gord.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

How exactly does a Czech high stick end up in the Canadians zone?

 

[FDBluth]

McKenna starting to finally emerge as Canada's best player. Is it too late though

Our D has been underwhelming. We all know you can't produce offense without the D carrying the puck
Bonk, GIbson and Dickinson been trash that way

 

[1989]

I don't like how we are playing.. sitting back. That won't work.

It's not the best strategy against Canada for sure. It worked for Sweden over Latvia earlier though,

 

[NyQuil]

Gotcha. I thought underbite guy was Gord.

Well, fat head makes me think of O’Neill.

 

[Chainshot]

I swear that is the first time I've heard Gauthier's name all game.

Looks like it. 2 forecheckers and 3 men back. Canada has them right where they want them

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

No not Mike Johnson - I like him. And he doesn't have a giant head.

I left my cranium calipers in the car.

 

[JPeeper]

the Czech team was playing way better when they didn't decide to park the bus. Not sure this strategy will work out for them, Canada sucks yes, but we don't suck that much.

 

[jj cale]

Louder Ottawa, they need that boost.

 

[fahad203]

I swear that is the first time I've heard Gauthier's name all game.

Used to hear his dad's name every game. For all the wrong reasons

 

[NyQuil]

The Czechs have been sitting on leads for my entire life.

 

[1989]

With how certain players have been underperforming, being unnoticed by comparison is praise.

 

[Czechboy]

The implosion of Hockey Canada?

The 30 minute PK.lol

 

[jj cale]

it's on Hrbal right now.

 

[lancepitlick]

McKenna looks like a 17 year-old playing against guys 2 years older. Talented yes, but too soft.

He's the best offensive player and it isn't even close IMO.

 

[OttersFan]

Pinelli with his best chance of the tournament and did nothing with it.
