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

[Dominance]

The mind f***ing boggles at this team.

 

[Leafidelity]

Are you even a well raised humble nice and polite canadian person if you aren't rooting for Germany this game? I know I am!

 

[TheBeastCoast]

This team is just full of a bunch of guys that would be 3rd and 4th liners in a normal year. Not dynamic offensively at all. I know people are piling on Minten but it is so much more then a one player issue lol

 

[Alerion]

Minten sucks

How dare he not score that puck that deflected off the goalie's pad into his skate

 

[hockey20000]

I was being purposefully inflammatory, but they don't produce the talent (for Canada) they used to - not even close. lol

caleb desnoyers is coming 2025 draft pick seem him play live hes gonna be good and in the q.

 

[Mooche]

Going to need to reinforce the glass behind the Germany net after this period.

Hit the bloody net, guys.

 

[hockey20000]

IIHF makes sense. Better for the player to think twice about making an unnecessary hit like that if he thinks it might go wrong. The NHL, of course, doesn't give a shit if a player is injured or killed.

go watch another sport mr safety

 

[Dominance]

First time they shoot from the point all game and there’s zero traffic.

The problem with this team is they’re collectively stupid.

 

[Pi]

Canada reminds me of the joke in the IT Crowd.

Just replace Arsenal with Canada.

The thing with Canada is that they always try to walk it into the net.

 

[nbwingsfan]

Let’s see an actual shot on a scoring chances instead of the 100th pass of the game

 

[Barrie22]

Easy tap in missed again

 

[Backlund]

They gotta go kidnap Bedard for the rest of the tournament. This is ridiculous.

 

[hockey20000]

this team canada has the vibes of a qf loss incoming.. disjoined awful teamwork.

 

[TimeZone]

Minten sucks

While I agree he's not very good, that was an odd time to say it.

He had no realistic chance at putting that in, it was deflected.

 

[TonsofPuppies]

Knew this team sucked... but I didn't think I'd have to be quoting Patches O' Houlihan... alas, here we are.

It's like watching a bunch of retards trying to fuck a doorknob out there.

So just take hitting out of the game entirely? There’s non hitting leagues you can watch instead of trying to changebthe game we love

 

[Dominance]

Celebrini will probably (hopefully) win us this game, and we may squeak past the quarterfinals, but there’s no way this team scores more than two against US or Sweden and they’re not good enough at defending and take too many penalties to hope that would be enough.

Gold would require a genuine miracle.

 

[sepHF]

Well you had way more coaching on hitting than I ever did. We had like one practice where it was done and consisted mostly of coaches yelling to hit harder.

Neither of the drills you describe are very good though, they are actually terrible ways to teach hitting or receiving hits because they don't represent actual situations. Also important to teach people how to do things before getting them to do it, rather than running drills and only giving "pointers" afterwards.

they did explain before hand of course, then critiqued our form afterwards and gave pointers

the gauntlet just taught you how to fight through contact and maintain control and the circle drill would force you to react quickly in an open ice situation. I thought they were helpful drills as a player

 

[Halakitlikethat]

Almost like Canada should have brought the chl leading scorer to this tournament

i am just prayin for bronze at this time lol.

 

[dwdl21]

I'd be surprised if Germany keeps this to a 5 goal differential. Canada doesn't like losing, especially while getting shutout and pretty thoroughly outplayed.

I have to think they take out their frustration against the German goaltender.

I'm getting a little nervous here...lol

 

[HabSgt]

All Canada here but they just cannot score.

These guys must be brutal as wingmen.

 

[PanniniClaus]

The Germans are dead on their feet... but giving everything.

 

[Dominance]

i am just prayin for bronze at this time lol.

I’m a hair away from cheering for Germany.

They’re so ludicrously painfully dumb more than anything else. Best case scenario a loss here is a wake up call, worst case scenario it guarantees these coaches never come close to the team again.

 

[dalewood12]

BS calls or not, Germany is proving it can play with the elite teams.
