Canada blows out Germany and people are upset. Canada keeps it close and people are upset. Lose-lose situation.
Yeah, every team is missing players this year. You can play that game all day long.
The slovaks played a phenomenal game though. Good forbthem.

I thought McMichael had a terrific game. He does try to be too cute, tho.

As Jack Slater said (paraphrasing), "One below average game and all the dummies with come streaming out."

Byram handles the puck like hot potato in the D zone, Cozens is a classic grinder playing first line minutes for some unknown reason. Byfield... no one noticed him so far.This roster does not have any close comparables to e.g. Zegras, Caulfield, or Podkolzin. Maybe Levi is a single bright spot. Semifinals is the ceiling.
He wasn't. Lafreniere was the clear #1. Stutzle and Byfield were a toss up for 2 or 3.
Hell of a game from drysdale too. He really should have gone higher. Maybe even second overall. I can understan passing him over if you dont want a dman butbi think a few teams slept on him.
Podkolzin is nothing. Canada has many guys as good as him.

Kaslik played 21 minutes, more than any other Slovak player, including the defensemen. He won a lot of faceoffs too. I like him between Chromiak and Slafkovsky. That line has the capacity to do some damage against Germany and also Finland.

Canada flunked on slavakia exactly because they turned a great practice game into an ego trip.
The coach should of done some creative line work in yesterdays game. Instead he now has to rework his lines for the 3rd game of the round robin.
It was 20 on 14, only an idiot would run 4 lines against them.
Should of had 2 lines per period, would of been great for player development. Now Canada's clearly way behind Russia. We haven't played a real game yet, and Russia's KHL has been active all season.
Byram simplified things and played very well in this game.

Cozens also had a solid performance.
Caufield sees his impact come and go. He’s inconsistent.
Some of the hot takes here are ridiculous.

Quack Quack Quack!
If only they took a page out of the Finland playbook. We just have not seen prospects from Finland being overhyped on these boards.

They already beat Podkolzin and company a few nights ago.
Wonder how your boys would do against them?
Podkolzin does a lot well but I don't see him having the finish of a Tomasino, McMichael, Cozens etc
