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

[SupremeTeam16]

I think the Germans probably would have rather that Major not get called.

This was a meaningless game for Canada but that probably gets them up a bit and wanting to run up the score.

Just play Celebrini 60 minutes. Only one on the team that can create chances

Embarrassing xenophobic comments in here by fellow Canadians. Stop bitching, kill the penalty and win the game. “Soft European hockey” has produced some of the greatest legends this game has ever seen. You dipshits.

 

[Alerion]

Chara is my argument.. crushed guys all the time without hitting them in the head. It's very possible. His career is a great example of a very strong and very tall man hitting people without hitting the head first.

This whole 'only way to hit a short guy is to hit his head argument' is crazy to me.lol

This is not what I'm saying at all. German player put himself in a terrible spot at the last second, falling backwards to avoid the hit left his head at Geekie's torso. Other penalties take this into account.

I honestly don't think Geekie could avoid that once the German player tried to duck last second.

got to starting giving celebrini 20 mins a game lol

2 on 1 don't worry about passing Poitras just miss the net instead.

How did this guy play a minute in the NHL?

You are correct. But it doesn't change the fact that European hockey is indeed "soft".

 

[Korpse]

Your post was literally just advocating for that since it's the start of the game against a weaker opponent.

That’s me saying it’s a dumb hit to make, even more so given the circumstances. It’s like trying to blow a guy up in the final minute of. 10-0 blow out. Why are you taking that risk of facing a suspension. The rules remain the same but I can understand trying to put a guy through the glass when the intensity is up.

 

[Dominance]

Dumais you’re f***ing killing us. This game it doesn’t matter but you could have independently tied or won the game against Sweden if you weren’t making the most brain dead passes when you have a top quality scoring chance.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

So, take hitting out of h okey entirely because that’s what you’re advocating if any and all head hits should be 5min

That would be good. Hitting has nothing to do with hockey. There is no need for hard hits. Just hit the guy hard enough to make him lose possession of the puck.

Yeah, cause that's the alternative...

 

[Pieck]

These threads get embarrassing to read sometimes. Have whatever opinion you want about the hit, sure. But why make hateful comments and generalizations over it

That's usually the best time to hit. Set the tone of the game and make the other team timid with the puck.

Well, he must have NHL talent.

Thank you. One call & this crap starts coming out wtf.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Why is Veit Oswald out? Huge loss for Germany

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Well, he must have NHL talent.

Nah. He's a Bruin.

 

[Barrie22]

Well, he must have NHL talent.

For sure not showing it.

 

[Orr Fourever]

Nah. He's a Bruin.

Thank Christ.

Found the guy who’s never actually played contact hockey.

If you really think hard hockey hits don’t give your team a massive advantage I don’t know what to tell you.

 

[Bubbles]

LOL love that shot of Ratzlaff, Firkus, Geekie and Savoie in the stands...it's a WHL black aces

 

[nbwingsfan]

Yeah, cause that's the alternative...

So, just skate with your head down at full speed knowing the worst someone can try and do is poke check you? That sounds fun!

get the hell out of here with your woke nonsense. nothing xenophobic about it.

 

[MM917]

Can't even hit an open net now, pathetic

 

[Shocker]

How am I getting warnings for doing nothing wrong?

And you aren't even allowed to question it so how are you supposed to know what to do or not do?

Perhaps not call Europeans "soft trash", is that very hard for you?
