GDT: Semifinal - May 19 - Canada vs Switzerland

[Natey]

For who and/or what? In comparison to any NHL event, WJC, Olympics, or even the World Cup of Hockey a few years ago, this tournament isn't close to those.

For who? It's just fact. It's evident.

The number of NHL'ers in total is rising. And the number high quality NHL'ers is rising.

Just because you're salty Canada is losing doesn't mean anything.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Gotta give the Swiss credit.

They allow Canada with the puck right in the crease where they are too close to do anything.

Yep. Same story against Finland and they also pressured at the right time so point shots weren't an easy answer for that either since there were multiple bodies always in the shooting lane

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Not a good PP. Canada shooting themselves in the foot. Will have to tie it at even strength.

 

[NyQuil]

Canada keeps attacking the goal from behind the goal line. Unless they catch the Swiss goalie out of position these attempts have no chance at going in. They've been doing it all period.

It's all they've been given.

The points and in close.

The circles and the slot are packed tight.

 

[bsu]

Looks like the Ducks power play

 

[jj cale]

Goaltending is the only position Canada is not the best in the world.

We could sure use some improvement there thats for sure.

 

[Natey]

Big kill for the Swiss

 

[NyQuil]

Maybe with good goalie canada win this game?

Maybe. Maybe not.

 

[TeddyBare]

BENCH EKBLAD

this guy had like separate giveaways in 1 shift

 

[New User Name]

I couldn't miss seeing Canada lose.

Why do you hate Canada so much?

 

[Natey]

Maybe with good goalie canada win this game?

If that goalie is perfect, yes.

 

[Iceman]

Ekblad falling 45 times in the ozone? You know that you are a dman mate?

 

[Bear12Good]

I think main problem for Canada not good D-line

 

[NyQuil]

Yeah, Genoni's not letting anything else in.

Just last year:

Herzog scores OT winner as Switzerland stuns Canada at worlds - Sportsnet.ca

Leonardo Genoni came on in relief for Switzerland and stopped all 35 shots he faced.

 

[Chimpradamus]

I really don't like Canada as a country. I mean just look at how they tried to pollutedyour mind with those stupid ads just now. The pickup truck drivers are *******s and if you need Viagra at 40 there is something wrong with the water.

I think you're pushing your ignorant analysis way too far above your understanding. Unless you're joking, which would make your post just as redundant, because it wasn't funny.

 

[sandysan]

Might as well pull kuemper

 

[snipes]

Genoni has been unreal this game.

 

[booyakasha]

get Horvat out there more FFS

 

[Bixby Snyder]

Why do you hate Canada so much?

I have my reasons.

 

[bsu]

Ekblad and Nurse are so bad

 

[PTmbp13]

What if swiss win. Playing sweden where half the Swiss team has been been playing and schooled. If swiss win the gold. Swedish hockey program wins. But i think swedes take it

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Canada has way too many defenseman with average puck skills. Murray, Vlasic, Nurse, Edmundson, Ekblad..

Murray, Vlasic and Ekblad specifically have struggled on the blue line in the O-zone.

And they scratch Chabot.. I am telling you I am not being a Sens homer to say he could help this team

Exactly this.

Justin Bieber slept with his Mom.

 

[John Agar]

Why do you hate Canada so much?

His team sucked more today than we did...

Trying to make himself feel better...

Seen his act before...

Go back under your little stone bridge I say...

 

[FinPanda]

Can't expect to win 1-0 though .. that 3rd one hurt but Canada has to score and has not played well.. they are just not sharp

Absolutely agree.
