GDT: Semifinals - February 23 - Canada (3) vs Germany (4)

Really hard to like this Canadian team. They're awful, they play sloppy disjointed hockey and they have been pretty dirty.

Hopefully the NHL decides to return next Olympics. Bunch of scrubs are hard to watch.

I read that if you took all the Canadian NHL players, you could make something like 23 complete teams. So this would be our x team.

Exactly...even then.

 

[John Price]

It's Canada's responsibility to put a b or c team. Hold yourself accountable. Don't send a Garbage team to The Olympics.

This years tourney was a toss up, other than the OAR. You can't look at past history with NHLers and call this an upset. For Canada, this isn't like it's their B squad. This isn't even their C squad. Keep building teams on paper using NHLers until you run out of NHLers and then you get this years Olympic team.

It's not an upset. Germany is just the better team and it shows.

 

[BertCorbeau]

That would have been pretty

 

[Jarey Curry]

Are the Canadians unanimous about why they're losing? Inexperienced goaltender? Something else?

Not a lot of options, but anyway.

Maxim LaPierre is on this team.

I mean cripes.

 

[Confucius]

Take a seat Canada/Sweden/Russia, there is a new superpower in town!

Hahaha, well there seems to be today..

They are being outplayed and their goalie is better.

Germany capitalized on stupid mistakes by Team Canada.

 

[PenDuhNotPittsburgh]

What is it with the Canadians?Almost a tradition. When Russians, chezch, Swedes or in this case Germans are playing
the f***ing GAME and start beating them Canadians always start bully people around

 

[Cody Webster]

Lol Canada

 

[jj cale]

There is a reason why guys like Bourque and Brule are not in the NHL anymore.

Sheer stupidity, at 3-1 they still had a CHANCE at coming back and you do that?

What an idiot.

 

[zx81]

If Germany wins gold, NHL players will play in the next OG. Just a feeling

Uhh everything?

 

[Natey]

Can we best the Czechs?

 

[John Price]

Not a lot of options, but anyway.

Build a better team then. This is Canada. They're getting EMBARRASSED.

 

[ranold26]

The Canadian men's hockey team has no one to blame but themselves. Little effort, losing puck battles, chirping the refs and resorting to garbage tactics. Good job Marco Sturm and Germany.

 

[JetsWillFly4Ever]

Disappointing for Canada but happy for Germany, would love nothing more than to see them beat OAR.

 

[Natey]

Germany winning gold would be great for hockey.

Nonsense.

 

[Cloned]

Theoretically could have sent junior players I guess.

 

[agent082]

What a save!!

 

[heksagon]

Forsberg was right about the Canadians you know... Hope Germany wins the whole tournament

We are unanimous that they just suck, they started this tournament out playing pretty disciplined and organized hockey and game by game they started devolving into the opposite of that culminating in this fiasco.
