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

[Scarbarian*]

It seems Canucks fans are so defensive about David booth clone. Calm down, I am not saying he is that horrendous but players like Petan and Paul who have at least average hockey IQ would be a bad fit with someone like Virtanen who has low Hockey IQ, especially Petan (that kid is so smooth and smart).

Don't u guys think he would be better off with Goatier and Ritchie, would make one he'll of a goon line.

Go canada go!!!!!!!

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Just watching Canada take the ice on home ice to cheers, I don't envy the Slovaks. They look beat even before the game starts.

David Booth was a fine player before his injury, so if Virtanen could develop into that player it would be cool.

I don't think you know what hockey IQ is actually.

And we are underway...

 

[Ralonzo]

Wait, what? Two Russian refs for a game which decides Russia's opponent in the final game?

 

[JustGivingEr]

Canada is gonna roast them.

 

[LiquidSnake]

Darnell Nurse could be that cornerstone for Edmontin

Preach, I have no idea what this guys going on about. Probably just upset at the fact Nylander disappeared in the semis (you're not fooling anyone with that post history)

I have a lot of respect for u Ronaldo. U seem like a very sensible poster and a fan.

Others should take note.

 

[PBandJ]

Good pace so far.

 

[Addison Rae]

I really like Crouse

 

[LiquidSnake]

Anyone else feel this tourney is more enjoyable to watch on tv when it's in Europe?

I don't think u know what hockey is at all.

I noticed that as well....but here we go on our first PP.

 

[OilerPensfan97]

Nice, Canada PP coming up.

 

[izzy]

Start it off here.

 

[chauron]

WTF are these tackles after the whistle?

 

[Skip2myBordyloo]

Powerplay.

Time to hammer in the first nail.

 

[McDrai]

Nurse can never hit the net
He will fit in nicely on the Oilers blue line

Such a clever post. "I know you are but what am I "

 

[Holden Caulfield]

I am Canadian but I just from a story point of view how amazing would it be if the Slovaks overcame that initial loss to win this game? Would be a great story. Slovaks love them some hockey, would be a huge moment for that country.

 

[Addison Rae]

Petan!!!

 

[JC Numminen]

Petan!
