GDT: WJC, Jan 2 QF, Cesko vs Canada, 8:30 EST

[Tkachuk Norris]

Can’t believe the coach didn’t change the lines the whole tournament. What a dummy. Terrible choices on the defense too. Oh well

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Ok, Captain Hyperbole.

It's the truth, Captain Eatmyass.

 

[king89]

Very skilled and beautiful goal. Such skill by the Czech player. Fully deserved.

 

[Chainshot]

Really weird coaching by Canada. Some bad players got a lot of icetime. Great win by Czechia, hard fought effort.

Canada's biggest issue IMO was Letang all tournament.

 

[Satan]

Holy shit

 

[ORRFForever]

It never felt like this Canada team had the "it" factor it so often does.

I agree.

 

[NyQuil]

Congratulations to the Czechs, and good luck the rest of the way.

 

[TLEH]

It was pretty even game, slight edge to Canada and Hrabel was much better.

 

[HabSgt]

I still want a Tissot watch

 

[TheBeard]

It's the truth, Captain Eatmyass.

Team dominated that third. Hrabel was the difference. Hit a post, got an unfortunate deflection of a stick for the GWG. Shit happens.

 

[FrankieC]

How tall is that goalie?

Taller than Juuse Saros..

 

[Coaches Coroner]

Can't remember a Canada team that had so much trouble scoring. So many wide shots, blocked and whiffs.

 

[NyQuil]

It's just hockey. There are way more important things in life, my friend.

I’m in Mexico on a beach so it’s not so bad.

 

[Chawbadoo07]

Who do you suggest? Nobody on the other lines can score either. Minten can at least play some D. Celebrini is a finisher as well. You need playmakers with him not finishers.

Rehkoph for one would have helped taken some pressure off Celebrini as the poor kid knew he was playing shorthanded with Minten as his winger.

[Swipes]

Good game and a fantastic result for us! 4th win in 30+ years vs Canada, still some catching up to do. I hope we can make it to the final and beat the USA.

 

[IHaveNoCreativity]

Don’t think Rousseau was the reason for the Sweden L, Germany game was a bad team performance, and they lacked attacking ideas in this but that’s a brutal bounce.

2004 is a good crop but they’ve all moved onto the pros, also a generation hit hard by covid.

Next year should see the rise of Gabriel D’Aigle as a goalie and let me tell you that kid is something.

 

[Whitesnake]

Can't believe superstar captain Minten was not able to push Canada forward...lolll

 

[Hinterland]

Eh, he saved a penalty shot and had two amazing saves in tight that should've been in. Tough break to have that go in on a partial deflection.

Cool. But he let in two soft ones and was clearly outplayed by a much better goalie. Canada would have had much better goalies available...they just didn't get selected...

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Woooooo! Hawkesbury represent. Nice work, Maverick.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

tough one, this Canadian team was mediocre at best

 

[GreatSaveEssensa]

Time to have a summit

That or we could just stopped producing players that are so good that they are playing in the NHL at 18/19 yrs old. (Bedard, Fantilli, Benson etc)

 

[oooooooooohCanada]

He let in two brutal goals as well. Made a couple good saves too but those first 2 shouldnt have gone in.

 

[ORRFForever]

You called it, bro.

I'm stunned. I can only imagine how Canada feels. They just dominated the 3rd.

Meh.

Once it got to 5 minutes remaining, I knew. If I've seen it once, I've seen in 100 times.

Canada will be better next year.

 

[fahad203]

Can't remember a Canada team that had so much trouble scoring. So many wide shots, blocked and whiffs.

Definitely lacked top end scoring

 

[Smif]

It was Mateychuk who blew it.

Just dumped it to no one off the boards.

That's true but he was a stud for us all tourney.
