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

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?

Football and joke fighting? Those are the only clips shown so far from the practices.

 

[Korpse]

Yes.

I've never fell from getting my hands hooked, but I guess that only happens when you're an NHL player.

He fell from the cross check on top of the pants. Defensemen learn pretty early that’s a good way to knock a guy off balance. Mid stride, skating towards the boards, most guys are losing their footing.

 

[HabSgt]

Power play is very frustrating.

And I'm a Habs fan, we live off bad power plays.

 

[Peiskos]

Canada is not looking good, yes they're heavily outshooting Germany but there's no finish here. Especially after coming off a 2-0 loss you'd expect this team to demolish Germany to make up for it. Not impressed, but alas we've seen Canada look mediocre going into the playoffs before and then end up winning it all so we'll see..

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Bill Masterton for one. I believe it was considered a clean hit though.

You mean the guy who hit his head on the ice and wasnt wearing a helmet?

 

[Dominance]

Add worst-shooting Team Canada ever to the superlatives applicable to these guys

[Boss Man Hughes]

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

Poitras was in front of the net. He wasn't hit very hard. There should be very little danger.

Yes, but it really seemed like there wasn't enough force to throw someone off thar much.

Just seemed odd

Geekie's brother not happy, not sure if this was posted already or not.

It's a very underwhelming Canada team tbh. It's fine, can't have great rosters every single year. They can still compete for gold if they get the right bounces, but that's not a team that gives confidence.

The offensive players are all lackluster except for Celibrini. Dumais, Yager, Minten. These guys should be depth for this team or even guys who are snubbed.

Vanilla is the best word to describe those guys and so many others.

 

[TonsofPuppies]

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

You want North American hockey to use European standards.

Fair enough. I don't, but I can understand someone who wants less hitting.

Californians think that North America is like Medieval England and Europe is a futuristic utopia. lol It's a very consistent train of thought.

Dumais is bad.

The Hockey Canada brass might not like this

He should be pissed. What the f*** for, is exactly right.

Conor is the player for Canada, that would be his brother if it's even a real account.

Oof that's a dumb mistake on my behalf. It is a real account, followed by Chris Johnston and James Mirtle among others.

Straight to the head of the opposing player. IMO that would be illegal by NHL standards too, not that they’d call it since the league is fine with players being hurt.

 

[hak]

Has this game any meaning for Canada in regards of their quarter finals opponent?

 

[luiginb]

that Hauf guy is a prick.

Poitras doesn't look like an NHL player

 

[Korpse]

Doesn’t take much, especially when you are mid stride. Hate that play. Patrick Kane broke his collarbone on a similar play.

 

[nucks88]

Yes.

Yeah you’re right he willingly dove in to the boards there…..very astute of you……

Most of these players don’t look like NHL players

 

[TonsofPuppies]

Dumais is bad.

QMJHL barely produces anything anymore. Might want to look into folding that entire league.

 

[Three On Zero]

Everything Canada does looks telegraphed

 

[Blender]

For how much Canada has the puck and for how little zone time Germany has had, Canada isn't generating enough shots on net.
