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

[Aaaaaaaaaaaaa]

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.

Just went back and looked at it again. There was clearly contact made. So you should stop now.

 

[Fabs]

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

That makes no sense. Why should it be even if Fucale makes the save?

Every slovak player has his own name. This one was Skalicky.

Well, it's between periods, so I rewound my PVR and had a second look.

Right foot Jaros just clipped Richie....I still don't think Richie dove...

Either way, weak penalty that shouldn't have been called.

 

[ottawa]

Draft him?

Probably the quickest reply ever, I posted that literally 5 seconds ago lol

 

[izzy]

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

Yep.

I'm curios where Jaros is going to go in this draft, someone is bound to get a steal with him.

Haha yeah just noticed lol

 

[jcbio11]

Shots 6 - 6 in the first.

Canadian goalie has been perfect so far, let's hope that changes.

I know, I watched every Slovakia game. I just didn't see it. no need to be mad.

He clipped him. That's one you have to call, even though it was soft-ish because it created a scoring opportunity with the d-man pinching and the winger now out of it.

 

[JustGivingEr]

Canada needs to be better

 

[KCC]

Yup, you're right. There was more contact than I originally thought. Still think he embellished it, but there was def contact.

 

[Skip2myBordyloo]

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

Canada definitely dictated the play better.

 

[Stats01]

Canada needs to be better

Not better just shoot the puck more. Get the puck to the net, a ton of puck possession but only 6 shots is not good enough. They're playing a perfect game, just shoot the puck!

 

[FLpanthers16]

Yep.

I'm curios where Jaros is going to go in this draft, someone is bound to get a steal with him.

Yeah as a fan of the team Jaros/Cehlarik plays for in Sweden i can tell you that Jaros is a monster.

He broke the ribs on a poor guy in juniors here i sweden and i think the guy got punctured lunges aswell.

 

[Aaaaaaaaaaaaa]

I don't think Canada was that bad. Gave up a few scoring chances which they habe not done much this tournament, but also had the puck a lot of the time and had some great chances as well. Missed the net 20 times.

Too many chicken littles here imo.

Shots 6 - 6 in the first.

He has a name

 

[uakena]

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.

That is true, Slovaks better start to capitalize on these.

 

[penepi]

Pretty level game also in terms of SOG so far. But, anyway, the Canadian skill; their pace and tempo is absolutely evident. I think they were just complacent after the goal. We can only hope for a miracle.

 

[Aaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Canada will crash the net more this period and get the puck inside, just watch.

 

[Smif]

That makes no sense. Why should it be even if Fucale makes the save?

He had all kinds of net to shoot at, just missed it.

 

[Kamzik]

The Russian refereee has been inconsistent.

-someone chimes in: he has a name!!!

 

[Get North]

Canada's defence just has to be more careful and not try to attack too much. We're playing well but Slovakia had 2-3 good scoring chances, I think Canada will eventually start scoring. It is pretty dominant in Canada's favour, so many chances and possession in the o-zone.

 

[slovakiasnextone]

Every slovak player has his own name. This one was Skalicky.

Please tell this to the announcers on RTVS. They have been confusing Skalicky and Jaros in some of the previous games.

Pretty good period for Slovakia. More scoring chances than I'd expected, but we will come to regret that we couldn't capitalize on them.
