I certainly wouldn't blame a physicist for that. It was still in the first period and they couldn't have been so tired that it affected their performance. Unfortunately, it all started with a series of lost faceoffs, as I wrote. It was incredible how harmless we came off in this activity. We were literally embarrassed. Throw-in lost, face-off in our third, shot, face-off lost, face-off in our third, blocked release, face-off lost... and on and on. Fools. In the second period, we completely stopped believing in ourselves, the poor performance of the goalkeepers was added, and this is the result of this fiasco.I think it's awesome you paid to see it. You're a better fan than me. Normally I'd pay but f*** Hockey Canada for this one. They don't get my money on this.
Agree.. they played yesterday, went down 3-1 and to OT and a long shootout. Now they come down to Earth. We knew there would be at least two blowouts. This is definitely one of them.
I'm going for a bike ride.. everytime I click refresh it gets worse.lol 10-1 last I looked.I certainly wouldn't blame a physicist for that.

Last year, however, the team did not do such a shame even once. This is just crazy.I'm going for a bike ride.. everytime I click refresh it gets worse.lol 10-1 last I looked.
EVERYONE makes playoffs!
We won one more game than last years team and that team turned out to be very good!
Actually we got thrashed 1:7 by US last year ... I dont think that 1:7 or 1:10 (maybe more the game Is not over yet) Is that much a difference.Last year, however, the team did not do such a shame even once. This is just crazy.
Yes, it was after the second period that we lost 0:7.Actually we got thrashed 1:7 by US last year ... I dont think that 1:7 or 1:10 (maybe more the game Is not over yet) Is that much a difference.
At this level they can't possibly have bad teams now, they are on a serious roll with talent.US is running our show.lol I stepped away at 3-1 and it's now 7-1. They are having a bad season my ass.
Curious how it goes the rest of the way. This tournament always has a lot of ups and downs. I didn't see it but us beat Sweden 5-3 as well. So does that mean Sweden will beat us 7-1?lolAt this level they can't possibly have bad teams now, they are on a serious roll with talent.
Everyone has a problem staring at them straight in the face.
I wouldn't be surprised if that U.S team steamrolls everyone on the way to gold.Curious how it goes the rest of the way. This tournament always has a lot of ups and downs. I didn't see it but us beat Sweden 5-3 as well. So does that mean Sweden will beat us 7-1?lol
It should be two teams for them too. Canada should be stronger going from 3 teams to 2. I never worry about Canada winning gold.I wouldn't be surprised if that U.S team steamrolls everyone on the way to gold.
Some serious truths We are having to digest here as Canadian fans at least.
Benak on line 3 after they said he outgrew U17 is nuts. Is he hurt?The absolute last thing. I am looking at the lineup a wtf i going in there.
Benak 3rd line, Novotny not even in the lineup .....
Strangly made this team
I'm thinking bigger picture then just these youth tournaments.It should be two teams for them too. Canada should be stronger going from 3 teams to 2. I never worry about Canada winning gold.
I don't worry about a beat on best either. But US does look amazing... Hughes family is a big problem at a best on best.I'm thinking bigger picture then just these youth tournaments.
Just the depth of talent at all positions especially in the last decade is what is troublesome.I don't worry about a beat on best either. But US does look amazing... Hughes family is a big problem at a best on best.
Could be because of some poor late game shifts vs. U.S. Especially on the U.S. empty netter, it was like he did not care at all. Know I reacted to it.No way Filip Ekberg is 13th forward…
I think him and Klingsell just thought the other one would retrieve it.Could be because of some poor late game shifts vs. U.S. Especially on the U.S. empty netter, it was like he did not care at all. Know I reacted to it.
Or.. he is just resting a bit. Guess we will see, watching now![]()
Canada has a good group of 07s. I dunno about this particular tournament since it’s diluted talent and Misa was “graduated” out of it but the overall group will be a force in future tournaments, imo.I wouldn't be surprised if that U.S team steamrolls everyone on the way to gold.
