GDT: Semifinal - May 19 - Canada vs Switzerland

[Bixby Snyder]

How long until Canada goes all goon in this bitch?

 

[Chimpradamus]

This is a really exceptional Swiss team...

We should give them credit...

I think they have a good chance at beating the Swedes...

Wouldn't that be something... ?

There's always a chance, but it's somewhat rock-paper-scissors in these tournaments. Sweden has never struggled playing Switzerland, while they've struggled alot beating Russia and Canada. I wouldn't bet the rent on Switzerland. Switzerland plays kind of like Sweden, only Sweden has better players for the job.

McDavid only needs two hot shifts to make this a game, lots of time left.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Kuemper made himself as small as possible on that last GA and the puck still went through his legs. Chayka's wrong on this one. The dude is brutal.

It went just under his armpit.

 

[jj cale]

Bleh, whatever, let it go.

They make it tough nyquil considering how our fans handled their losses.

 

[McFlash97]

What a terrible team. Terrible coaching. Chalk full of lethargic, lazy low IQ players mixed in with a slow porous defense and terrible goaltending and you get these results. McDavid, Horvat, OReilly came to play. The rest should never ever be invited to one of these again. Barzal reminds me of one of those 80s song..you spin me right round babe right round like a record label round round right round..without much in the way of results. Just dumb and idiotic.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

3 goals on 16 shots is why we ****ting on him

But you've scored one goal.

I don't think anyone disagrees.



He was brutal against Russia so it's pretty fresh in people's minds.

You seem to have an agenda here though so keep firing away.

My agenda is discussing a hockey game.

 

[NyQuil]

Relax bud, Switzerland is a better country than Canada will ever be.

My Dad can beat up your Dad.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

I think Canada's goalies have been a pretty big factor in this tournament.

Just commenting on the game, big fella.

 

[NyQuil]

My agenda is discussing a hockey game.

Sure, friend.

 

[Boonk]

Umm between 2010 and 2014 they weren't ever playing for a medal for 5 straight years

So no

The only teams that were really bad in that quarterfinal drought were the 2010 and 2014 teams. Every other team just had a bad beat in their quarterfinal matchups. That 2013 team shouldve been playing for gold.

 

[Canuckistani]

Congrats on the gold, Sweden. And congrats on the bronze, USA

 

[booyakasha]

Bill Peters is a bad coach.

 

[snipes]

We've had several chances just not burying anything

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

This team has been such a disappointment. Yeah our goalies are trash (mostly Kuemper), but our offense and defense are just as bad

 

[NyQuil]

We've had several chances just not burying anything

Usually right in close with the goalie right there.

 

[John Agar]

Relax bud, Switzerland is a better country than Canada will ever be.

Switzerland is a great country... just different than Canada...

Canada is equally as great... as long as all of us just get past our politics...

Yeah 2010 is not AGES ago

that was a trash team
7th place

 

[NyQuil]

Running out of time.

Need one soon.

 

[fahad203]

Ekblad is pretty bad. I don't see anything in his game

 

[CycloneSweep]

Running out of time.

Need one soon.

Game was over when it was 2-1

 

[Bixby Snyder]

Ekbad

 

[Foppberg]

Luckily Switzerland is my second favourite country. I have no idea why. They just are. I don't get upset when they beat Canada because underdogs are awesome.

Plus it's the IIHF WC, so.

 

[helax]

Comon Canada, I want to face you in the final!

 

[FinPanda]

Goaltending has been the biggest weakness for Canada. This happens sometimes, it happens to everyone. Good to laugh when your team is already out.
