GDT: Sweden (2) vs. Canada (5) • Semifinals • Jan. 4 • Part 1

[Alerion]

It would be nice if there was one another decent defenceman on the team.

I think Juulsen is decent. Obviously Myers. But yes Chabot is our best dman and could use more support.

Well the goalie from the USA looks 10 times better than our goalies! And this is not a one time issue... Canadian goaltending has sucked now for quite a few years. I'm trying to understand why?

On their respective Junior teams these 2 are putting up the best numbers in the CHL?

Maybe we haven't had a goalie with the mental fortitude to perform at the WJC?

Unfortunately TSN no longer has national rights to NHL games. Fortunately for Sens, Jets and Leafs fans TSN has regional coverage for their teams. Ottawa often has Miller and Ferraro doing their games and its a treat.

Whenever I catch the Jets and Leafs on Center Ice I always excited to see that they have the option to stream the TSN broadcast.

I like Ferraro and think he does a great job. I also enjoy listening to Bob McKenzie.

As a Penguins fan I stream ROOT sports broadcast with "Steigy" and Errey. Although, I don't mind Errey as much. I do miss listening to Mike Lange though.

Also, living in Boston, I tune into the Bruins and listen to Jack Edwards. I think Edwards and Steigerwald were voted the worse commentators here before

Good luck to Canada the rest of the way! This has been a fun game to watch.

Is it sold out tonight? Semi-lame crowd compared to previous tournys in CAN

 

[Sher-Wood]

We are only protective of him because of the people crucifying him for a dive.

Everyone dives.

Maybe so but now we are talking about Chabots dive in this game and it was a beaute.

 

[RayNibbs]

Everyone cheers when their team dives and *****es when the other team does it. Keep being the cool neutral guy though. You're so above the rest of us Sheep Canadians.

When I played lacrosse I dove all the time. I was real good at it too

If I see my player dive I call it out, diving causes distrust with the refs due to the refs having to make difficult decisions leading to inconsistency.

 

[DoubleGold]

Can we pin this post?

Like are you all seriously not going to admit this happens? It's part of fandom.

You do something and get away with it? **** YEAH!
Other team does something and get away with it? **** THEM!

Get over yourselves.

P.S. Sweden sucks, let's go Canada! Woooooo

I think your team does, lol.

 

[jj cale]

Parsons > Hart & Ingram

You really went out on a limb there.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Hahaha He opened his big mouth before this game saying Swedes basicaly choke.Better win or its Canada Choke AT HOME.

If it works, it may have been a great motivational stroke of genius. It could be interpreted by the Team Canada players to not be intimidated by the Team Sweden players. I thought Canada has played with a lot more swagger this game. Had Ingram made a few saves, we could be in the drivers seat this game.

 

[Muston Atthews]

That dive gets called all day in the NHL and the OHL. We're not in either of those leagues though. You play with the rules you're given

 

[Raymones]

This is the highest level of entertainment. Enjoy! . Let's go second period!

 

[Slimmy]

No....

Did you misread my post somehow? One instance of an embellishment by a goalie is hardly proof of Swedes being prone to diving.

 

[DangerDave]

I bad pinch where he almost got it and it's a bad game

Being a habs fan, I cannot stand the send. That said, Chabot has been impressive and anyone saying otherwise is being ridiculous.

 

[PRZ45MD]

Parsons > Hart & Ingram

I think that Chabot > all of the US Defensemen, but as a unit USA Defense > CAN Defense. Just deeper.

 

[Dosing]

They need to stop talking about kylington as if he were any good and ****ing bench him. He misses every ****ing shot on goal and every time commentators go "OOOHHH SO NICE"

 

[mel]

I really hate the NHL network coverage....

I agree. I don't know who the man is providing color commentary during the World Juniors for NHL Network but it feels like he's always screaming to get his point across.

Not even close.

 

[Blitzago*]

Good play grundstrom

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

As is every fan base of their prospects.

You new?

Not every one. Even Canes fans think Bean has sucked this tournament.

 

[Korpse]

grundstrom is a smart hockey player.

 

[Dod93Cityt]

WOW Refs are at it again!!

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Dive by the Goalie

 

[NyQuil]

Lol, runs the goalie.

Nice job moron.

 

[EK47]

Idiot

 

[mel]

Good call by the ref. Didn't look like anyone pushed him into the goalie. Interference but what a dumb penalty to take.
