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

[SantosHalper]

in the words of Tuomo Ruutu "this is JYTKYT", congrats Czechia.

Bonk's stick....... you can't write this up. Unbelievable.

 

[HarrisonFord]

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

With or without kid?

 

[Raging Bull]

And with that, a mighty cheer went up from the heroes of Cesko. They had banished the awful Canadian team forever, because it was haunted.

 

[MXD]

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

Rousseau really only gave one bad goal and saved more obvious goals than Hrabel.

 

[HabSgt]

Nobody on this team deserves to drafted! Not even Celebrini! Just leave him unpicked until the Habs turn

 

[57special]

Radek Bonk smiling.

Oliver Bonk not so much, as the winning goal banked in off his stick.

 

[tictactoe]

this was a poor team Canada. Not even our best guys are there

lol

 

[Peiskos]

Probably one of the most atrocious Canadian world junior teams I’ve ever seen.

 

[Shocker]

Was rooting for Czechs because Bares plays for my local team, but dear god, was not expecting that end after Canada put the Czechs through a whole f***ing washing mashine routine earlier in the period.

I f***ing love WJC.

 

[NyQuil]

With or without kid?

Lol, with kid.

I didn’t have to worry about getting up for the game as I’d already been up for 3 hours.

 

[canswetoxic]

OMFG

 

[Oilslick941611]

Terrible tournament overall for Canada! Never looked good at all

Grats to the Czech

Yeah, never gelled like past teams. Team Canada usually always get better as the tournament goes on but this team never had it. Never looked like team.

 

[IHaveNoCreativity]

Tristan Luneau was a huge loss which can’t be underestimated as he would have been a top D at the tourney and can win you a game. He’s a dynamic offensive D and that was missing here.

 

[Jussi]

Absolutely Bonkers ending to the game.

 

[king89]

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

 

[SwissFan12]

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

Could you put a bit of that salt on my fries please ?

Canada had all sorts of chances in the 3rd period and hasn't been able to convert. They get punished for that, as it is often the case in those kind of scenario.

 

[Twine Tickler]

Tough break for Bonk on that goal, just a truly unlucky bounce. Hate to see a team get eliminated on a goal like that, especially with 11 seconds left.

Czechs played good enough to win that game. Bent but didn't break.

Canada was never good enough in this tournament. They deserved to be eliminated. They had plenty of chances to win that game and failed to convert. Often times missing the net entirely. Just not good enough

Congrats to the Czechs

 

[lecherous]

Let's go back 48-ish hours ago, what would you say if I told you Finland moves on and Canada goes home today?

 

[WarriorofTime]

So Czech has made the semis three straight tournaments since the Russia ban?

 

[PG Canuck]

Leafs prospect captains a team to disappointment, I mean, obviously

 

[nucks88]

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.

As long as someone beats them…..I do hope it is you guys…..good luck….

 

[tictactoe]

I'm 38 years old and this was the worst Team Canada at any age level I've ever watched.

They completely sucked. Every shift, every period, every game. Garbage. No talent, no chemistry, no ability to persevere.

Just shit.

really... what about wjc team Canada during NHL lock out

 

[PG Canuck]

Let's go back 48-ish hours ago, what would you say if I told you Finland moves on and Canada goes home today?

Pretty believable

 

[MoeTheHobo]

And so Canada will once again forget that they've ever lost a hockey game until the next wjc

 

[HarrisonFord]

Lol, with kid.

I didn’t have to worry about getting up for the game as I’d already been up for 3 hours.

Haha, sounds about right. We did that last January with kid and went without for a week last month. How great is it to not have to worry about making kiddo meals all week?
