GDT: Semifinal - May 19 - Canada vs Switzerland

[ffh]

Watching barzal is painful.

Lower hockey ? This Canada's roster (despite goalie) would probably sweep the ice with all four remaining playoff teams. Just compare Canada's 3rd and 4th line to 3rd and 4th line of remaining playoff teams.

Yeah it's a good thing that having a good goalie doesn't track with success ( i.e MAF or pekka).

And Canada's D is also nothing to write home about.

I've seen teams we have sent here that had a hard go of it due to not having that much talent and filled with too many 3rd/4th line grinders but never have I seen a team we have sent play more timidly/lazy/stupid.

It's driving me nuts.

 

[NyQuil]

Swiss D doing a good job cleaning up rebounds in front of the net.

A lot like Sweden in the earlier game.

 

[jj cale]

oh schenn................cmon man

 

[John Agar]

Schenn is where the puck goes to die...

Give it a rest with this crap.

What crap? Tell your fellow fans to grow up.

 

[jj cale]

you look at how aggressive the swiss are when playing in their own end and you see how passive we are playing and you know all you need to know about this game.

 

[Jon Riley]

Corvi. What a tournament.

 

[NyQuil]

What crap? Tell your fellow fans to grow up.

 

[stl76]

Also, in b4 dumb Joel Edmunsson penalty. Believe me it's coming...

Your hate for Edmundson is misplaced. He’s been very good this game and throughout the tournament.

EDIT: another plus for Edmundson starting the breakout that lead to the eventual Horvat goal.

 

[NyQuil]

Woo! Horvat!

 

[Del Preston]

Bo Scorvat

 

[snipes]

Woo!!!!

 

[JoeThorntonsRooster]

Damn it. Feels like a lot of goal are coming from that spot lately.

 

[NyQuil]

Like a carbon copy goal.

 

[John Agar]

Either that was a great shot... or horrible goaltending...

I'll pick the latter...

 

[karnige]

lol same shot as the first goal. both weak

 

[danron1376]

deja vu lol

 

[jj cale]

Horvat...............1-1.

But so what? the way these guys are playing it almost doesn't matter, you cannot win hockey games with the way they are competing today.

 

[sandysan]

That was also a shot that should have been stopped.

Maybe gets rid of the tentative jitters.

 

[NyQuil]

Horvat...............1-1.

But so what? the way these guys are playing it almost doesn't matter, you cannot win hockey games with the way they are competing today.

 

[John Agar]

Ek-bad...

What has happened to Ekblad... ?

He showed so much promise in that first season and now he looks pretty meh...

 

[The Kessel Run]

Your hate for Edmundson is misplaced. He’s been very good this game and throughout the tournament.

EDIT: another plus for Edmundson starting the breakout that lead to the eventual Horvat goal.

And yet....

Goaltender almost caused a goal, did cause a penalty
