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

[Pavels Dog]

Tournament would be better with less filler teams. What are these low-level countries like Canada even doing at an event like this?

 

[Jets4Life]

Reffing aside, just an abysmal performance from Canada all tournament. I pity the fans of the eventual NHL team that hires Dave Cameron because the NHL is run by dinosaurs.

He is 66, and has nearly no NHL head coaching experience. Nobody will hire him.

I think we should be talking about how the American official called every penalty against team Canada tonight....seems pretty bias especially as a few were phantom calls

 

[ACLEVERNAME]

Tournament was finished when they ended the first period 0-0 with Latvia. Knew exactly who this team was at that point

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

There are some huge Canadian crybabies in here. Nice job Czechia!

You would be crying to if Finland lost on a bullshit penalty in the last 2 minutes.

 

[Stephen]

Well, Team Canada didn't do a very good job and we probably don't want to think about this version of the team too much moving forward.

 

[Three On Zero]

Do you evetr post anything that isn't garbage. That was not a penalty.

That’s a penalty every single time based on IIHF rules

 

[Goodman68]

Wow, great.
Canada defeated itself with our weaknesses.

 

[jtalton]

Hey guys who won?

 

[JKG33]

Feel bad for George. Phenomenal goalie, but his shitty entitled team and management let him down big time

 

[OttersFan]

Czechia deserved to win.

Atleast I know who to ask for Connect 4 tips and the keys to winning Monopoly from Team Canada

 

[Tobias Kahun]

McKenna and Ritchie both received 10-minute penalties at the end of the game for unsportsmanlike conduct. Anyone know what they did? They mouth off to the refs?

Probably told the refs how good of a job they did.

 

[novisor]

Bye Cameron, (don’t) enjoy retirement you dinosaur. Way to ruin your reputation and be remembered for this over everything else you have ever done. Maybe you should have held a practice once or twice f***head.
Those five owe the country a public apology like that Korean airline but I won’t hold my breath.

Absolutely insane this guy was allowed to coach again (who gets 3 turns?), but after all the issues with scoring and chemistry and this guy CANCELS PRACTICE?!? WTF!?

 

[Northerner]

God bless Czechia. One of the few sane nations left in Western civilization and the land of my grandfather.

 

[ZDH]

Yeah, lot of dumb homerism ITT and especially at the arena.

Boo the dipshits involved in the construction and coaching of this team. It's f***ing Team Canada against, with respect, Czechia, even if the officials weren't on our side we should be smoking them, we lost to Latvia, the team just sucked.

Yup. Anyone who watched the preliminary round games knew how this was going to end.

I'm more surprised they scored 3 than anything else tbh.

 

[OttersFan]

Feel bad for George. Phenomenal goalie, but his shitty entitled team and management let him down big time

His current OHL team isn’t much better.

Good thing Canada lost on a legitimate penalty and not a bullshit one

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Are WJC games always penaltyfests? Feels like there are 20 penalties a game

 

[Lawzy]

He is 66, and has nearly no NHL head coaching experience. Nobody will hire him.

I would hope not but I will forever have my doubts.

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

Lol at the canadian kids here crying their eyes off.

You lost to Czech b-team. Get over it.

Nice 2nd post. On your 1st day here.

Well done.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

It was actually the American ref that called every penalty against Canada FYI

What a shocker.

No conflict of interest at all.

 

[Oilslick941611]

What's more embarrassing? Quarterfinals exit 2 years in a row or loss to Latvia???? Lmao

I dont think a round robin can count as a bigger embarrassment than the QF.

However this team deserved this loss and all the others. They waited until the 3rd period of the QF to wake up and it was too late. and this team never gave us any "moments" The results wont be forgotten but the players will.

However, im not worried about hockey in canada as a whole. this team left 3 100 point scores at home and bedard and celebrini were still eligiable for this tournament. Circumstances are what are they though and this team massively under performed and its all on the management and coaching staff.

No I wouldn’t. I’ve seen a cup and medals galore. My life is complete.

 

[Hinterland]

Players jumping out of the way to avoid being hit and leaving their knee out further instead of getting hit shoulder on shoulder or shoulder to chest need to stop being bailed out by these penalties. It's why they keep doing it and it's why players will turn their backs along the boards when they see someone coming to hit them. It's a problem in the NHL and every league.

You're just looking for excuses.
Gibson went knee first into his opponent...with the puck long gone. That hit was both late and dirty.
