GDT: WJC Finland - Canada, Dec 26, 2023

[snipes]

Some good chances there for Canada that shift.

fins goalie is good

HE WONT BE THEIR ISSUE.

 

[Alerion]

If you're late joining, the last couple minutes is what the first period looked like.

 

[HabSgt]

Both goalies have been really sharp.

 

[Scorevat53]

This Allard, Danielson, Beck Line has looked so good.

I like seeing some friction. Good. Let's get this done in the third properly.

anyone know where i can find kittens for the WJC?

Danielson, Beck, Allard needs more ice time and that’s not something I expected to say coming into the tournament.

They’re dominating out there.

This Allard, Danielson, Beck Line has looked so good.

I feel like they are one of the few lines with an identity.

Alright finland tie it up so we can have some nice Christmas WJC OT yup!

 

[MM917]

Another pretty poor period but we come away up 1 so have to take it,

It would be nice if the so-called top players decided to show up today. Outside of Mateychuk I don't think any of the guys you would expect to lead the team have been any good.

 

[McMozesmadness]

Danielson, Beck and Mateychuk. Best players for Canada through 2

Kokko has made some nice saves. I love the way he plays

Fun game so far. Neither team looks sharp though

Gr8, your love for the epic moments is showing itself. XD

It helps that both Danielson and Beck can play well offensively at this level as well. Allard is there to make the big checks and get the puck back

Really underwhelming performance by Canada so far, they need to get it together, if you put most Canadian teams from years past against a Finnish team playing as they have been this game we would be up by 4 goals now.

 

[Erikfromfin]

horrible quality game.... WJC not strong this yyear

 

[snipes]

Decent game so far. Canada needs to continue with a heavy forecheck, the Finnish D weren’t overly great skaters from what I’ve seen and struggled when Canada was getting pressure and hits on them (see the second goal). I didn’t like when they got away from that.

The ice seems really bad, so many guys falling untouched.

Lots of areas to clean up for Canada, more urgency being near the top of the list.

Both goalies have played really well.

 

[JackSlater]

Much better period for Finland, was better for most of the period. Should be a good third, each team now has a template for what it needs to do.

 

[jigglysquishy]

Celebrini looks good, but he's not Bedard.

Lamoureux looks really good. Confident and smart. Usually a guy that size is there because of his size and not his smarts.

 

[Patman123and4]

Not the best period but hey, one more to go, boys!

 

[Luolis]

Both teams but especially Finland seem a bit nervous too. Entertaining hockey nonetheless. Getting a PP goal early on in the tournament is great news. Gotta stay out of the box and keep grinding.

my love for hockey surpasses my Patriotism

Dude I made a comment based on watching sloppy play. Don't think it needs a huge rebuttal. Watch the game take it easy. I like to win. Who doesn't?

People are just so negative, all the time.
