GDT: WJC, NYE, Canada vs Germany, 1:30 EST

Conor Geekie is a North American player who will likely play his entire career in North America. It is understandable that he did that considering it was what he was taught to do and what he will need to do every single game to have success in his career.

No one is saying it should be fine for the rest of the world, I agreed it's a penalty under IIHF rules - not sure who you are responding to with most of your post??
You said it's a perfect hit in North America and thus it couldn't be taught better. I'm saying North American hockey should put more emphasis on protecting the head, so it can be taught better.
 
This is like watching a bunch of 4th line dusters who think they're actually Evgeni Malkin. Awful, awful hockey team. The lack of talent on this roster is sad.
 
Holy f***ing shit what are they even doing out there? They don’t even know who’s screening. What has the coaching staff been working on with them?

Ah, so now you're saying the exact opposite of your original argument against me.

You want North American hockey to use European standards after trying to claim I was saying European hockey should use North American standards - which I never said.

Fair enough. I don't agree with you, but I can understand someone who wants less hitting in the game overall.

they do, but that one was fine. But we just saw a very dangerous cross check that didn’t even get a review.
