GDT: Quarterfinal - May 17 - Russia vs Canada

[ViD]

If Russia had Panarin, ths would’ve been a different story.

 

[MattySnipes]

Kuemper and McElhinney has got to be the worst duo in the tourny.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

I don't hold out much hope for this team in the 3rd period, what a lazy ****in team, I am just not used to this from Canadian hockey teams obviously.

There is only one thing that can save us........................and his number is 97. he has to play at least half of the next period.

will anyone else contribute? Mcdavid probably feels like he's on the Oilers..
has to do everything

Yeah, or if we had a goalie.

You can play these games all day.

Has a single player ever carried an otherwise embarrassing team like McDavid has here?

 

[BalticWarrior]

Why did Price decline to play for Canada? Habs were nowhere near making the playoffs, might aswell suit up for the team.

 

[Bear12Good]

Both teams played not good

Because it's the World Championships and he has Olympic Gold.

He was also injured this season IIRC and may want to rest.

The depth scoring just hasn't been there from anybody.

Canada needs more from Schenn, Barzal, Eberle, O'Reilly etc

 

[ViD]

Price would be just as bad. Forget him.

 

[NyQuil]

Price would be just as bad. Forget him.

I can't really imagine anyone as bad as these guys.

Not goalies fault canada couldnt clear for about 1 minute in their own zone.

 

[jj cale]

I thought a team with Barzal and O'Reilly would be a dominant possession team

Barzal hardly gets any shifts.

 

[BalticWarrior]

Because it's the World Championships and he has Olympic Gold.

So does Vlasic. Doesnt answer my question.

It's maddening watching these guys.

Mcdavid has to do everything.

Vlasic big patriot for Canada

Disappointing effort all around from the team in this tournament. The game with Russia is close after the 2nd, hoping we can pick it up and get the win in the 3rd.

If a team plays perfectly you don't need a goalie.

A goalie is there to bail out the team from time to time.

 

[Bear12Good]

Canada have better roster than Russia. (KHL=AHL level) But Canada play today very lousy.

 

[gwh]

Interesting game. Plenty of position mistakes for Canada and D-men spin around all the time.

Also D.Kuemper is a brave choice for any goaltending needs.

Too bad. But its not like Price is the only Canadian goalie thats good and yet you end up with this guy in net?

What are you saying?

That good players routinely don't go to the World Championships?

This isn't news.

 

[Bear12Good]

Russia dont have Bobrovsky and Khudobin too

Canadian coaching mistakes as chabot is the 2nd best dman sitting on the bench.
