WJC Group B: Dec 31 GDT - Czech Republic vs. Canada (2-5)

[BCCHL inactive]

Dawes on a 2-man advantage from Stewart and Meech.....another beautiful play to make it 3-0.

If the Czechs don't get some gas in their tanks during the first intermission, the last 2 periods won't be pretty.

 

[Jeff Shafer]

yeah baby! keep racking in those goals Canada! Stewart please agree to a contract soon with my Panthers! we really need you

Stewart please agree to a contract soon with my Panthers! we really need you

The soonest it can happen is next season.

 

[SpezNc2]

What a nice passing play!

2-0 Canada

With every goal Canada gets, the situation becomes more comfortable. Now that Canada has 2 goals, the Czechs need 4 to knock Canada out of first place in a 3-way tie situation.

I think we can't lost by 2...

But anyway, if we lost this game after leading 3-0, it will be a shame....

true but can't he agree to a 5 game contract at the end of the season cause I remember Weiss and Krijeck did that the year they were drafted

That is my point. Canada can lose by one goal, and will still get first place in a 3-way tie situation. Now that we have 3 goals, the Czechs need 5.

 

[Fedz]

Is it just me or does Marc-Andre Fleury(Smiley) really get himself out of position sometimes?

This is exactly what he meant.

Possibly after his junior team is eliminated. I'm not as familiar with the NHL-NHLPA CBA as I am with various playing rulebooks.

Getzlaf sure has stone hands this morning. This game should be 5-0 on his account.

 

[SpezNc2]

That is my point. Canada can lose by one goal, and will still get first place in a 3-way tie situation. Now that we have 3 goals, the Czechs need 5.

Sorry.... you're 100% right......

4-0 Canada!!!!

Way to go Phaneuf!

 

[BCCHL inactive]

If there is one prospect I will promote like Don King promotes whoever pays him to....it is Dion Phaneuf.

 

[Vincent Vega]

4-0! and it is only a little over half way threw the 2nd period. Hopefully Marc-Andre Fleury can get the shutout.

 

[SpezNc2]

Czech need 6. Almost impossible to do in 30 minutes against Fleury...

Do can we say that we are getting the free pass.?

Or it's too soon....

It's true, a game it's 60 minutes... not 30.....

Oh, I think we are getting the pass

 

[SpezNc2]

4-1. Czech need 5

 

[Vincent Vega]

Hopefully Marc-Andre Fleury can get the shutout.

I guess I said it to soon.....?

Czechs score.

Fleury hates letting in goals. After the Czech player scored he looked pretty pissed.

 

[CharlieGirl]

That's the Carter we've been looking for!!!!!!

 

[Vincent Vega]

Carter gets one!

 

[BCCHL inactive]

I'll probably be the first to say that a game isn't 40 minutes, it is 60 minutes....and I am probably speaking with some bias....but I have not seen any signs from the Czechs that they can come out and score 6 goals in the 3rd period.

I think the bye to the semi finals is safe.

 

[SpezNc2]

That's the Carter we've been looking for!!!!!!

a beauty.....

From Behind Fleury's net to.... Behing Cze's goalie

Will McGuire ever just shut the hell up? (For our Canadian TSN-watchers)

"They go to diving school".

Pfft.

Pierre McGuire > every other colour commentator.

Although, one of these days he's going to give himself a heart attack the way he gets excited at weird times.

 

[littleD]

Pierre McGuire = No professionalism whatsoever.

As is quite evident, he just really gets into the games. Sure, he's showing some bias, but no professionalism?

Anyways, I've defended Pierre enough times on these boards. One of the best hockey minds around.

 

[TexSen]

Pierre McGuire = No professionalism whatsoever.

Indeed.

How many times can the guy make fun of a different country/continent's hockey culture?

I DON'T CARE that there are ads all over the ice and he seems to think it is goofy.

I DON'T CARE that there are usually ads all over the league players and he seems to think it is goofy.

I DON'T CARE that there are usually ads all over the refs and he seems to think it is goofy.

I DON'T CARE that the english ad for a check cashing company at center ice says "PAY FAIR" and not as some might assume "PLAY FAIR"

His diatribes began to smack of xenophobia during the Ukraine game.

Highly dissapointing since he comes from a country that generally espouses tolerance of other cultures and wears it like a badge of honor.

Pierre, they are different, it's not a bad thing.
