GDT: Quarterfinal • Jan. 2 • Canada vs. Denmark

[PBandJ]

Good on Denmark killing that bogus 5 on 3.

 

[1989]

Lol denmark kills the penalties. I'm surprised

Let's be realistic - there was no urgency to score on that 5-3. Canada is playing like they're on a PP every other shift with how much pressure they have sustained and the coaches know it, the benches know it, the entire building knows it.

It's not fair to Denmark but Canada isn't going to press any more than they have to. They're looking ahead to the semis.

Good to see the ACC rockin'

 

[Board Gordon]

IMO running up the score shows more respect than letting up. If you let up you're saying they are not worth the effort.

 

[Del Preston]

I'm only watching for the wave.

 

[ProspectsSTC]

Ehlers is proving to be a very skilled diver.

Good on Denmark killing that bogus 5 on 3.

Wasn't a bogus 5 on 3.

 

[Pi]

Denmark's goalie must be wishing he was Canadian. 3 shots for Denmark. 19 for Canada.

 

[Novak Djokovic]

Ehler had drawn THREE penalties today. WPG will soon be at the top of PP time in the NHL.

 

[scotian1]

Losing a lot of respect for this Ehlers guy, champion cheater.

 

[7even]

That line is playing awesome

 

[jdatb]

nice, Ehlers.

 

[herashak]

canucks should have drafted ehlers, they could use a good young diver

 

[King Woodballs]

Okay? I didn't say Denmark wasn't deserving of both of their penalties.

No
But Morrissey shouldn't have got one
And he didnt

 

[arsmaster*]

Ehlers has been splashing all tourney. I don't blame him. Their pp is their only chance.

 

[Skip2myBordyloo]

Ehler had drawn THREE penalties today. WPG will soon be at the top of PP time in the NHL.

Will also be on the NHL's diving list.

Maybe. Then again they've started fining and upping the anti-diving procedures.

 

[DyerMaker66*]

From his back with the guy completely on top of him?

That guy was trying to get away but was being held, so yes.

 

[jdatb]

canucks should have drafted ehlers, they could use a good young diver

haha what a kneeslapper. hilarious, buddy.

 

[Icebreakers]

Ehlers is literally as one dimensional as it gets.

 

[y2kcanucks]

That guy was trying to get away but was being held, so yes.

No he wasn't.

 

[arsmaster*]

Ehler had drawn THREE penalties today. WPG will soon be at the top of PP time in the NHL.

He'll be on the diving suspension list before long.

I think he's just trying his best because his teams only shot is the PP.

Embellishing doesn't endear well though.

 

[scotian1]

Ritchie, Gauthier and Crouse are just too big for the Danish defence to handle.

 

[Super Cake]

Well that is probably game right now.

But I hope Lazar gets the hatty.

 

[Alerion]

That guy was trying to get away but was being held, so yes.

We've seen that uncalled several times this tournament, most notably when Domi was held down in the zone the other night for 10 seconds, exited the zone, and immediately assisted on a Reinhart (I think) goal. Based on that precedent, it's not a penalty.
