Ridly Greig gone.

I didn't think they were very good offensively in that sweden game, they should have scored a couple more goals at least against them, they had quite extensive offensive droughts in that game.

Yup. No one can score like us. We just need a strong defensive game.

 

[bsu]

Yeah, hopefully it’s precautionary and he’s back for Friday.

He got hit pretty solid...

We need to clean that shit up, here is where I want to toot the Americans horn, they have been far better defensively.

Ridly Greig gone.

He's been so very good too.

Way better - it's not even close.

 

[Ginger Papa]

He got hit pretty solid...

Agreed. But I’m a hopeless optimist, my Ducks friend

 

[Orr Fourever]

That's 5...

 

[jj cale]

Cuylle!!

I was impressed with their backchecking effort against the Swedes in particular - guys were coming back to nullify even rushes like their next meal depended upon winning that puck back.

And there's 5 for Canada. Do they start the running clock now?

 

[Mikeshane]

Wow I didn't think Cuylle had room but he found room.

 

[The Red Line]

Our D is suspect… but we’re on pace for 12 goals today, so…

And 6 goals against. Sweden let in one.... *shrug emoji from 20 years ago*

That's because they have to. If they don't play solid defense, with the goalies they have they just don't win many games in this tournament.

They are definitely playing team defense that's for sure, it's been impressive.

 

[ORRFForever]

I thought this was just through the Preliminary round. We’re still working on the seeding?

You are right. It is just the preliminary round.

"In the semi-finals the best-ranked team - criteria: 1) placement in the group, 2) points in the preliminary round, 3) goal difference in the preliminary round, 4) goals scored in the preliminary round, 5) seeding coming into the tournament - will play against the lowest-ranked semi-finalist. The 2nd-best ranked semi-finalist will play the 3rd-best ranked semi-finalist. The host if qualified, or otherwise the best-ranked semi-finalist according to beforementioned criteria, shall play the early game. The time slots will officially be determined after the quarter-final games."

Your Post reminded me of this clip

100%

 

[Bounces R Way]

Bedard definitely needs some polish in his own zone. But I mean, what 17 year old wouldn't.

Good point. To their credit, their D-Men are terrific.

He actually reminds me a lot of how McDavid looked in his first WJ tournament.

 

[bsu]

Zellweger is so solid.

Agree, but when the games get dangerous, he can't be making mistakes.

[jj cale]

More atrocious D crap from Canada.

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

Canada is brutal in their own zone
