GDT: Semifinal • Jan. 4 • Canada vs. Slovakia

Bowey is horrible

 

[KCC]

I don't think he dove, I think he simply fell.

The Canada player that fell was as surprised with the call as anyone.

Why did he fall like he had been slewfooted then? Because there was next to no contact made. It's clear he was trying to draw a call.

 

[Canadian Finn]

1st 10 minutes were great....not so much on the second 10.

which I believe is exactly what a few members on this board commented on Canada doing, earlier this afternoon.

 

[penepi]

This occurs when Russians are refereeing.

 

[scotian1]

Nurse and Bowey caught up the ice too many times that period.

 

[uakena]

Slovaks gotta be happy about this period, Canada has looked very beatable.

Slovaks still gave up lot of good scoring chances.

 

[JayKing]

should be even honestly. Slovak player really should've scored on that breakaway.

 

[Rockettrudel]

If it wasn't for Fucale this would've been even if not 1-2.

i agree

 

[Snippit]

Not a very good period from Canada.

DDR line is trying to do too much.

Nurse needs to play a simpler game, also trying to do too much.

Not seeing enough offense from Petan-Paul-Virtanen line.

McDavid line looks good.

Slovakia playing us hard and aggressive.

 

[FLpanthers16]

Jaros has been as good, if not better than Reway IMO

You can really see that Jaros,Cehlarik etc are playing with men in the SHL.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Slovaks hanging around. Canada need to bury their chances better.

 

[Jackson14]

Dominated possession. Slovakia will wear down.

 

[Aaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Ritchie got tripped. I don't get why Slovak coach is so upset.

The other angle showed he clipped him with his foot. I was ready to say brutal call until they showed it.

 

[PG Canuck]

Slovaks just need to stick within one or even two and try and draw penalties and capitalize there.

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

Anybody got a quality stream?

Not good quality but:

Slovakia should be extremely happy with the score.

Could easily be CAN 1 - SVK 2

 

[DrPabloRamirez]

Slovakia should be extremely happy with the score.

Slovakia wasn´t worse team in the 1st. Should be at least 1:1. Penalty to Jaros was gift.

 

[tobu]

should be even honestly. Slovak player really should've scored on that breakaway.

he was robbed by Fucale, so kudos to him

 

[Pi]

I agree but Fucale is not a bad goaltender!

Definitely. He's a good goalie for his age group. Since 2005 though, I can't remember many junior goalies that made it as starting goalies.

Price, Bernier and Mason are the only ones that come to mind that are starting goalies.

Then there are guys like Leland Irving, Justin Pogge, Olivier Roy, Pickard etc.

Backup wise, Tokarski made it to the NHL.

 

[Jakk123]

Please boys let´s score at least one

 

[Novak Djokovic]

DDR line probably had one of their worst periods. They're trying to be fancy. Get back to playing simple.

 

[ottawa]

Jaros has been as good, if not better than Reway IMO

He's been good for a non-hab I suppose

 

[KCC]

Slovaks still gave up lot of good scoring chances.

Canada gave up at least 3 grade A chances as well. Canada of course is being too cute with their plays again (probably because they can), but still, I'd love to see them shoot more.

 

[FLpanthers16]

I guess...he's been good for a non-hab I suppose

Draft him?

 

[Novak Djokovic]

Could easily be CAN 1 - SVK 2

...and Canada could have also scored 3 more goals given the quality chances they had. What's your point?
