GDT: WJC ‘23

[RipsADrive]

Absolute inability to hold the puck in at the blueline.

More Oilers stuff.

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

Hey look, Present's Choice has a commercial that's already annoying me.

 

[Leonardlizard]

They have a very good goalie. Wow

I think bedard just realized that as well hahaha

 

[Cloned]

Also I’ll just say it again like I have for a while now:

The state of Canadian goaltending is a concern. No elite goaltenders at the NHL level. Not a lot of elite goaltending prospects coming up. It actually looks pretty bleak.

The Olympics didn’t have NHL players otherwise I think it would’ve been exposed.

Wah?

It's just an Oilers game JR

Sadly, this has been an issue since the 80s, with a brief Brodeur, Luongo, Price interlude.

All of Canada now feels our pain

Pgt: is zegras bad for the game?

Canada doesn't develop goalies at a young age so it's not surprising

 

[BlackDogg]

At least we get to forget about this embarrasing travesty tomorrow and watch Oilers hockey

That was like a 25 year interlude though lol. The last elite goalie Canada has produced was who, Price?

If they ever end up having a best on best it might not be much of a shock to see Skinner make the team

How good was that 2005 team when this was your goaltending?

The interlude did not last that long. It was that long ago.

And we just can’t stay out of the box.

Brodeur and Roy covered a lot of the 90s and 00s. Luongo and Price covered the 10s. So like 20 years.

I was over the Michigan well before Zegras was even a prospect on the radar. Hartikainen's attempt goes to show you that any schmuck can do those pond hockey tricks.

 

[tardigrade81]

So many posts. Our starting goalie stunk. 9 out of 10 times we smoke these guys. Unfortunately this was that one game

 

[McDNicks17]

Canada really needs to figure their goalie development out.

 

[Oilhawks]

This has to be up there for one of the worst losses, no?

Worse I can recall is the 6-0 loss to Russia in 2019

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Yup, the highlights of the Michigan goal attempts emphasize that. Stop the fancy bullshit

I’m not hyper conservative about the sport but that type of goal needs to be looked at a bit closer.

I hate the lacrosse goal with a passion and I wish they were disallowed. You can't pick up the puck with your hand and throw it in the net so why should you be able to carry it on your stick and throw it in.

Is the Spacek that scored for the Czechs Jaroslav's kid or no relation?

 

[Cloned]

I wonder how much Fantilli’s draft stock will drop because of this tournament?

 

[Drivesaitl]

Team Canada is playing Oilers hockey lol

Hockey is trolling our Happy Holidays.

I wonder how much Fantilli’s draft stock will drop because of this tournament?

I wonder how much his credibility dropped when he complained vociferously about an obvious penalty. jebus just go to the bench. The last Canadian that got a penalty realized it was a clear call.

I do believe it's his son.
