GDT: Quarterfinal • Finland vs. Canada • Part II

[PecnoTrunk]

If Lowry had any balls he'd bench the Point line. Absolute trash today.

Our goalie need to be changed. We have 2 awful gaolies

Lowry is awful

He needs to change our goalie

 

[BWDude]

This Canadian team is not strong enough mentally, you could see the youth and lack of experience coming out. Its a lot like the American and Swedish teams last year.

 

[Coaches Coroner]

This Canada team has less composure than most teams in recent memory. If anything goes wrong, they cave in for at least a little while and the momentum changes in the other teams favor drastically.

 

[Gargyn]

Blackwood sucks. Lowry is an idiot. Marner needs to pull his head out of his ass.

 

[Episkey]

What a game.

 

[Rodzilla]

Coach lets the players take shifts way too long. Last goal the duo was on the ice too long, they came off and they sent them back and get scored on. Chabot and Mckeown barely see the ice 30secs and they have been good. Playerd are gassed and goalie doesn't stop a beach ball.

 

[MardyBum]

Man people lose their ****ing mind in these threads lol.

 

[carlweezer*]

High scoring game ! Someone invite Marner to the party !!

 

[Mitchy]

It would be a good time for Marner to actually do something.

like create 3-4 chances in one shift? It's not like he did that last period.

 

[Davebo*]

McDonald needs to come out for the 3rd if Lowry has any common sense at all. Blackwood is visibly shaken and has no confidence whatsoever

Blackwood for sure has a problem, from what I've seen, of not being able to keep himself in the game during extended periods of no shots.
For that reason alone he should have been pulled.

 

[agent082]

Hopefully the refs let the players decide the game for themselves in the 3rd.

They already did. What was it against Aho and they didn't call a penalty?

 

[Canadian Time]

Marner better not see the ice in the third, overrated PP specialist if ever there was one.

 

[Plural]

Same here. I've been standing the whole period. I just can't sit down.

Yeah. This is hard.

 

[y2kcanucks]

Need to see some production from Marner. He's been super quiet.

 

[jdatb]

Blackwood shouldn't even have started this game. Horrible coaching not to pull him after the tying goal

 

[donghabs98]

Canada needs a strong calming presence behind the bench for moments like this, I don't think Lowry is that guy.

 

[SergeConstantin74]

16-7-0, 2.36 GAA, .932 SV%

Yeah, it was just draft rank.

I was referring to MacDonald who they won't play to replace a shaky Blackwood 'cause McD is bad even in the Q.

 

[BanditKeith99]

I've been saying since the start Mcdonald > blackwood

****ing tsn hype

 

[Esko6]

I feel bad for Vehviläinen. He is a quality goalie, but I think the NHL scouts actually know what they are doing and he is undrafted.

 

[DBL]

Virtanen's ****ing penalty + Blackwood's awful 3rd goal = key points of the game

Still can't believe that Virtanen penalty....he held onto that stick like he was hanging from a cliff...and during a delayed call....such a moron move!

 

[BDizzle*]

Virtanen, point and Perlini need to do something positive. Virtanen and Perlini have rocks for hands and take untimely and bad penalties. Point hasn't done anything to impress me at all.

20 minutes to prove to the nation why you were selected. Come on boys.

 

[Cirris]

Referees are a lot different than in the NHL let's say, that slash call on Perlini was weeeeeeaaaak

Nah, i see it called all the time. Especially when your hacking high up the shaft near the player's gloves.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Virtanen has to be the dumbest player in hockey. I'll be shocked if he ever pans out as a legitimate, impact NHLer. He just doesn't have the brains for it.

Blackwood is also playing horrible hockey. Every shot is an adventure with him. He's been a huge disappointment this tournament.

Lowry has no business ever coaching for Canada again.

Oh, and for all the hate he's gotten, McKeown has been rock solid today.

 

[Sweetpotato]

McDonald needs to come out for the 3rd if Lowry has any common sense at all. Blackwood is visibly shaken and has no confidence whatsoever

This, it doesn't matter that he was good up until then.

 

[Rocko604]

Hope Lowry's idiocy follows him back to Victoria and the Royals implode down the stretch.
