GDT: Semifinal - May 19 - Canada vs Switzerland

[Natey]

The least hungover team...

A toss up (excuse my pun)....

In the Olympics, Canada was proud to play for and win bronze. Not sure this team will have to the same fire.

 

[jigsaw99]

Keumper is a disgrace.

Make a single ****ing save in the 3rd.

he had just one job to do in the 3rd lol

 

[Jon Riley]

Ahahahah... The entire ZSC Lions...

Except for Schäppi, I am willing to give him a pass tonight
Yaaagdhdjdjjaaaaah

Would be pretty confident in saying that Canada takes it, USA have had problems getting fired up for that particular game year in year out

hope so but the USA got destroyed by sweden today. they are very mad. think the americans have a bit of an edge especially if kuemper plays again.

 

[Plural]

Look at the players on the team. Beside Mcdavid and Vlasic and possibly Parayko not one of them would make it on TC

It's still so much higher caliber team than Swiss team. 100% unacceptable loss.

 

[Healthy DiPietro]

Another unimpressive gold for Sweden

Salty Finn. Sweden = Wins every game. Every other team = Minimum of two losses. Sorry for being good.

Should of played McElhinney.

Banned. Peters

I think Curtis played easier teams.

 

[Mikeshane]

Bashing them for being the best players on the team? Ok?

I'm bashing the coach playing them as a combo as if it was good.

 

[robertocarlos]

You could always pretend Canada is playing USA for the Gold.

 

[sandysan]

Oh, that must have slipped my mind.

Getting outshot by a factor of more than 2 and probably having less than 33% possession cannot possibly constitute being the better team to any rational being.

When you are up two in the third with a hot goalie, no one gives a crap about possession.

I personally don't like kitty bar the door, but if you have guys who clog the middle and a goalie in the zone, have at it.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Losing in the World Championships?

Not very.

Not very really... when you dont send your best team and bring jn echl goaltending its not that surprising

True. Still thought losing to a team like Swiss in tournament round would be rare but maybe not.

 

[Eye of Ra]

Damn. Free gold medal for the swedes again...

what free gold? we beat canada last year in the final.

 

[Breakers]

Wow wow wow wow.
Im sorry did I hear that right??????????????

EkBlad and Nugent Hopkins got players of the tournament.

Clearly the guys who chose them think that getting a crap load of ice time and not doing much with it means you deserve player of the tournament.

 

[Snippit]

This is lowkey embarassing for the NHL

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

hope so but the USA got destroyed by sweden today. they are very mad. think the americans have a bit of an edge especially if kuemper plays again.

I don't think team USA can get fired up over anything. They forfeit games as soon as they go down by 2 all the time on WC and on the Olympic level

 

[namttebih]

Was Bernier asked to play in this tournament? He's represented Canada several times.

 

[La Masse]

It's still so much higher caliber team than Swiss team. 100% unacceptable loss.

For sure. I dont like to pin losses on a goalie but that aspect of the game certainly didnt help TC

 

[Ben Culotta]

Tune in next time kids where you will witness Sweden making Swiss cheese.

 

[The Cannon of Tesoma]

Congratz and thank You glorious Team Switzerland!

 

[NyQuil]

Was looking forward to humiliate Canada in the final.

 

[Blue prez]

sweden do not play fancy hockey, when will people like you learn that? sweden finds a way to win. sweden won all games so far, its not by chance.

Yeah, their current coach is clearly defensive-minded. But, suported with the traditional possession offense, it works! Except OG.

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

what free gold? we beat canada last year in the final.

They got free gold in 2013 like this year.

 

[Apocalypse Dude]

Congrats to the Swiss team. Hope you win gold.

 

[WADEugottaBELAKthat]

For Canada, this is like having a bye into the Gold Medal game. Cinderella Switzerland is about to have her bubble burst. We have seen this so many times before - a team carries out a highly improbable upset by playing way beyond the limits their talent and depth impose on them, with massive amounts of adrenaline flooding the arena, only to come out the next game and fall behind 6-0 at the end of the 1st period. They realize that their moment of greatness is over, and that it is time to go back to reality. It is a huge break for Canada to have an easy path to the Gold Medal game - almost as huge a break as that tiny little penalty call in overtime against Russia!

Haha what a dumb quote ...

McDavid is a whiny baby. Holy crap. Learn to be classy. No wonder your teams always lose.
