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

[Boss Man Hughes]

It's not the point. He's been good but, all you need is 2 goals that NO ONE could have stopped, and the Canadian fan base wants him tarred and feathered. We suck.

Didn't look like either goal was unstoppable. I have always thought Binnington was not that good.

 

[CanadaIsIrrelevant]

Czech has better players than Sweden. Pastrnak, Necas etc. Those are world class forwards. Sweden doesn't have anything like that.

Hedman? Hasn't been good in years.
Karlsson? Past his prime.

The better team on paper won this game.

Josi is one of the best D in the world.

So we don’t have good enough players.
Pheeew…

Skip four nations!
Send the Czechs and Swiss instead!

 

[Smif]

Trade ya.

I'm Canadian, dude! We're never blown out, we're going to come out like caged animals in the 2nd.

 

[ORRFForever]

The worst? Have you met us Czech posters, especially if the team selection is not what we wanted before the tournament? I refer you to our posts last year

Though I will say that the fans at the games are always amazing and support the team like crazy even if things are not going well. But us armchair warriors…

Canada's had so much success in recent years at the WC but we get down 2 goals and...

What have you done for us lately?!?!

I'm Canadian, dude! We're never blown out, we're going to come out like caged animals in the 2nd.

I agree. We will tie it at some point.

After watching the series against Vancouver, I’d take Josi over Hughes any day. Hughes was vastly outplayed by Bouchard.

Josi doesn’t get talked about enough for just how elite he is.

He's also a lot older and more experienced than Hughes.

We'll see how Hughes is when he's Josi's age.

I am an esti Anglo. There are many Anlgos in Quebec although the Francos are the majority.

The vast majority of Quebecers are bilingual, speak both French & English well.

The reason people think that it is only French is because of the political/social issues that are exacerbated by our politicians.

I agree I'm Franco Ontarian and you have a lot more Franco who speak english then you have Anglo who can speak french

Well, that applies to virtually every language in the world when it comes to English.

Aside from Europe, I grew up mostly in Ottawa where most people are quite bilingual.

That may be true. It doesn't mean they will speak English.

That's a valid point, Hughes has room to improve and he's already a top D

I wasn’t really serious. It’s France that is like that. Even though they’ve been saved by the English and Americans. Don’t like to speak English.

8 shots a period won't cut it.

Oh

Oh you meant France, love the French ohlala

This game will be effectively over in the 2nd if that doesn't change.

What's funny about France is that they were quite polite and receptive to my French (taught in school without Quebec accents and slang) and my friend who is a francophone from Quebec was constantly ridiculed for the quality of his Quebecois French, which is his first language.

Rooting for SUI. We have some unfinished bussiness with them, almost always when they beat us at WC, they had practically all of their top NHL players and we didn´t. Now when Nečas, Pasta and Zacha came, the strength would be even (still we are not in a full strength without Hronek, Hertl, Jiříček, Chytil etc.), but I believe we should grab the gold. But of course, they are playing against Canada, so it could be Canada or Swiss in the finals. 2-0 is nothing in ice hockey. And I think Swiss main weapon is PP. Do not play dirty, Radko Gudas, do you hear me?

He’s criminally underrated in the NHL because Nashville is sort of a forgotten market.

A guy who has won a Norris, and is a Norris finalist is "criminally underrated"? What do we have to do, give him sainthood?

He's often omitted from the discussions of who the best defencemen in the league are, when he's been right there for most of his career.

There is a new Chanel Blue commercial that is freaking me out just as much..... I'm actually not even sure who they are targetting to buy.lol

 

[Smif]

They had f***ing better.

Not quite the start I was hoping for so far.

 

[NyQuil]

Tavares you dope.

 

[torero]

Ambuhl is incredible !!"almost 40 years old ... and still a safe value on the ice !!

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

jfc...stop with the penalties already!

 

[jj cale]

I'm seeing more of the same here to start this period.
