GDT: SF - CAN vs. SUI May 25, 2024

Was about to ask if something happened to the broadcast... then I couldn't get on HF except for on mobile data... ended up having to reset my cable box.

Is Lumen your service provider? Cuz they will just randomly crap out on you.

Cox Communications. They're actually extremely reliable most of the time which is why when something goes wrong I err on the side of it not being on my end.

They are the most error prone guys on the team.

That's the reason. Whether you agree or not, is a personal opinion I guess.

Note I didn't write "best", but "creative" and "dynamic". Most of Team Canada just tries to play rather simple cycling in the O-zone, which just doesn't work against the Swiss. They're very disciplined on their own end and just dump the puck if they see no real chance of getting a controlled breakout.

Bedard and Zellweger, though, try to use more of a finesse approach and try to use the whole broadth of the ice, changing the wings to play on constantly and therefore force the Swiss out of position.

How does this "live topic" thing works exactly? I am super confused

LIVE IS LIFE

All you need to know.

 

[Smif]

Exactly. It has more to do with all the success Canada has had. They have won enough and its better for the sport to see others have a chance to win something that matters to them heck of a lot more than Canadians. This tournament means so much more to Europeans than people in North America.

I agree with this in general but not for me! I enjoy this tourney just as much as the WJC's which is almost more exciting than Christmas in Ontario.

That would be a relationship breaker for me, wouldn't be acceptable!!

I had a roommate at university and for the Olympics in 1998, he made me take down my "Made in America" Brian Leetch poster (who was my favourite player at the time).

Ahhh sorry I don't know them. Maybe it was the gators then?

It's a fine balance between opening it up to get back into the game and making the lead even larger.

We'll see if they start to gamble more as the minutes click down.

I already like him, that's the right call!!

When he is not on the other side of the world, I can cheer with him for Canada. As long as he lives in Canada though, I'll have my fun mocking him

I think we already did with Zellweger's icetime increasing late in the 2nd.

 

[HabSgt]

How can Furiosa be a 'Mad Max Saga' if there is no Mad Max in the movie?

 

[matsqq]

The red and white jerseys confuse Canada - they think they are playing a better version of themselves - and the cross scares the sh*t out of them ...

He missed two easy plays at the blue line to keep the puck in the zone.

You have to take the bad with the good with some of these younger guys.

I have tons of respect for Canadians who enjoy watching this tournament. I remember hearing all the stuff "its Skoda cup", "it doesn't matter" etc.

I think he's going to be a stud tbh, maybe the next Spurgeon.

I think most Canadians take umbrage with the idea that the winner of the World Championships is the best hockey nation in the world, which is often alleged afterwards.

Now that more and more European countries are represented in the NHL (and whose players are therefore occasionally missing from the WCs), I think that argument has dissipated somewhat.

It's a fun annual tournament for national pride and to see different faces every year. I'm glad it isn't a best-on-best because those should be more sporadic and special IMO.

It's not like the FIFA World Cup Finals happen every year.

Because she does not know that yet but he will appear in her future and let her steal the movie from him to create one of the best movies in the history of cinema

Cox is just your typical American cable provider. That is, a ripoff.

People don't know what they're missing, it's NHL calibre hockey but in winner take all format. Sure, it's not best on best, but a great product none the less.

 

[Edenjung]

While listening to the swiss intermission i learned one thing:
They don't speak german (no they did not speak french).

Its easier to understand dutch than what they talk about.
During the game i understand everything. But I did not understand more than 10 sentences during the last interview.

Can I get subtitles?

Absolutely, they are missing out.

I think people who don't follow it aren't aware of the quality of the hockey being played, even by some of the more minor countries.

It was a great movie. I dunno about best ever though.

Needed more Tina Turner in the Thunderdome.
