GDT: WJC: Czech Republic Vs Canada | 26th December @ 5:00PM MT

[Team Cozens]

Was just going to post, Power looks like a young Pronger but without the nasty

Someone needs to send Power a VHS tape of Pronger.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Jiricek not coming back tonight

Shouldn’t have went for that knee on knee hit. Tough lesson learned.

 

[Antiillafire]

The best 2022’s today have been Jiricek and Lambert without a doubt. Wright, Kemell and Yurov have been disappointing

 

[Swipes]

We need to come out and push this period.

 

[WTG]

God, the overreaction on Wright is bonkers

It's been 2 periods guys.

 

[Adam da bomb]

Bedard doesn't need to be at center to have the puck go to him. Let Wright do his thing and take the hard work in the defensive zone. He's doing his job even if he's just facilitating for Bedard and Perfetti.

They should just move Perfetti to centre. Let him facilitate.

 

[majormajor]

That's actually true.. did he play or just play poorly and we didn't notice?

If you're noticing Czech D-men in the last ten minutes then it isn't for good things.

 

[BigBadBoar]

To me... it looks like a charlie horse and it was a high knee. At least on the one replay it looked more like quadricep. Not a classic knee on knee. Eg. Zboril had a hit a few weeks ago and I immediately though ACL and done. We will see.

To add to this bad luck.. we have another good D who could go in draft, Hamara. At the U18 (where he'd be a big deal) he got hurt in first game too.

A tale as old as time!

If it was charlie horse, that would definitely be the better option. I am really afraid it is ligaments. Of course charlie horse hurts a lot, so the fact he was in much pain doesn't have to mean it is extra serious. What I am worried about is that bending of his knee. Still may be just hyperextension of course.

Yeah, what’s with the hot takes at the World Juniors this year?

This is totally out of character.

He's the new Byfield

 

[czechcanadian]

He should be stepping up... No Hamara hurts as well if Jiricek is out.

FTR>. I was liking how we were playing. I didn't think we'd win but it was good hockey. I had no lineup issues or anything to complain about.

Yeah definitely! Those penalties and injury to Jiricek is bad. Really too bad. Luckily Krutil will be back against Finland but Germany will be no pushover either

 

[Cellee]

Not good based on his play this year and play in this tournament.

Anyone saying that about power didn't know what they were talking about.

You're watching his OHL games? Or looking at numbers?

I feel it is the former

His last 5 games look pretty good numbers wise.

I think we should give him a game or two maybe.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Someone needs to send Power a VHS tape of Pronger.

He prefers to watch Adam Fox tapes apparently

 

[snipes]

Bedard doesn't need to be at center to have the puck go to him. Let Wright do his thing and take the hard work in the defensive zone. He's doing his job even if he's just facilitating for Bedard and Perfetti.

No reason Bourgault should have been the one down, he’s been vastly more noticeable and driving offensive possessions on the ice.

Wright has been completely invisible.

Perfetti-Bedard-Bourgault would be fun to see. I’ve really liked Perfetti’s game tonight.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

If Power ever realizes how big he is and starts hitting people he will be an absolute monster for years to come. He might still be...but he could physically dominate if he wanted too.

 

[NyQuil]

He's the new Byfield

Who?

Watching his games

 

[GettingYourMoms]

You can call us Canuckians if it makes you feel better.

He just insulted milions of my fellow Czechian souls. Apology not accepted, prepare for war with our mighty empire.

 

[PatrickEaves]

He's the new Byfield

Yeah, and look at how many goals Byfield has in the NHL so far. Zero.

 

[Cellee]

Watching his games

Come on, Dude.

You may be telling the truth but I really doubt it.

I just ate too much turkey so I’m gonna just keep sitting on the couch.

 

[Hanji]

It's sort of been like this all season though, which is the larger issue. His WJC play thus far has just reinforced it.

 

[McDrai]

A couple of "Yo Momma" jokes should do the trick.

Hope dies last!

I see Wright is the chosen one this year. A Canadian tradition.
