GDT: Semifinal - May 25 - Canada vs Czech Republic

[harpoon]

For the tournament.. he was tied for second in points coming into this. Hardly invisible.

My bad. I thought it was player(s) of the game.

 

[ryerockarola]

i lol'd at brainlet lmao

 

[Czechboy]

Lol. I thought exactly same thing. Sexy outfit in classy way.

Good luck to Bronze Match, dear Czechs!

The whole thing is amazing.. this is where Canada gets it wrong. Euro's always have models doing this, Canada will have the CEO of Labatts in trackpants presenting.lol

 

[Czechboy]

My bad. I thought it was player(s) of the game.

No, Tomas Zohorna was our player of the game which says more about our loss than our win.lol

 

[koyvoo]

If Canada win the gold medal tomorrow they will tie with Soviet Union/Russia with most championships in the tournament with 27 apiece.

 

[Czechboy]

Poor Bartosak.. he looked devastated when receiving 3 player awards.

 

[JackSlater]

Pretty good game there, closer than the score suggested. Great game by Murray. I have to think that Stone is the frontrunner for tournament MVP.

 

[Martian]

The same problem as last years - low shooting efficiency in clutch matches.

 

[czechmate]

Well done Canada, you didn't waste too much energy and scored efficiently on the chances you received (far too many from us ). All the best for tomorrows game against Finland!

What concerns the Czech performance tonight: I am really looking forward to the interviews and the explanation of our coaching staff. This was a pathetic and embarrassing effort tonight - the fans deserve better than this.

I thought that the Soviet Union and Czechoslovakia are ghost states which can not win any more unless they are reformed. Russia have won five times. No more.

 

[Laphroaig]

Darnell Nurse is having a fantastic tournament. All seven Canadian defense men have impressed me. Stetcher and Severson are much better than I thought they were.

I don't disagree but 40 shots isn't terrible...

The IIHF recognizes both as successors and credits them with the titles, along with separate individual tallies.

I understand the Czechoslovakia argument (and slovaks should've never had to start in Division D or wherever they put them) but Soviet Union to Russia seems pretty fair?

Well it's not, but totally giving up on yourself in the 3rd is.

 

[Czechboy]

I don't know how disapointed I am. I you told me, 3 weeks ago, that we'd be 7-2 and playing for Bronze... I'd take that!

Like I say, someobody find the Russian's at their hotel pub and start buying them shots!

 

[Czechboy]

Watching Darina interview Darnell is something...

 

[Messrules11]

Bold talk, I hope we can back that up mess.

Bold for Gold jj

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Impressive turnaround for Canada given how poor they looked in the opener versus Finland.

 

[Czechboy]

Our last goal in the semis was 2012 - Frolik! That is a long ass time in between goals in a semi.lol Like I've said all along.. thank god we have Zohorna!

 

[King1s]

Our upperbelts are already stuffed for tomorrow. Beware, Canada.

 

[clydesdale line]

Will be interesting to see if Strome finally breaks his curse of losing in the finals.

 

[ChesterNimitz]

Will be interesting to see if Strome finally breaks his curse of losing in the finals.

Perhaps his complete immobility has played a role in that misfortune.

 

[goldenbladz1]

I expected a closer game but knew that Canada would find a way to win as they are feeling it as a team now. Good luck tomorrow Czech’s and beat Russia. Wow what a disaster for them.

 

[HuGo Sham]

this Canadian team is a troll job. it's our C or D team + mark stone and an avg age of 24. for all the times we've sent strong teams and choked, there's a team like this
