GDT: WJC Pre-Tournament Game #12:Dec 23 Canada Vs Finland

[Kevin Musto]

He is about 2" taller.

So Keith is 5'11"

 

[BusQuets]

Comtois gonna be pain in the ass for opponents in this tourney but he has to be careful to not cross the line.

 

[BK]

So Keith is 5'11"

Kane is about 5'10"?

Keith is 6'.

I am a little under 6' and when I have been around Keith he is slightly taller than me.

DeBrincat is 5'7" though. I'm not sure Kane is 5'10"

As I said earlier. The photo stuff is ridiculous. Standing slightly in front can make someone look taller. Slouching slightly or leaning back can make someone look shorter. The camera angle can pronounce some people if it's a side shot. We can each find pictures that support our points of view.

If you don't trust the official measurement because you have a hunch, call it what it is, it's a feeling.

 

[BK]

DeBrincat is 5'7" though. I'm not sure Kane is 5'10"

He is right around there. Skates, helmets, and camera angle do crazy things. I believe Kane measured 5'9.5" at the combine.

Keith is right at 6' based on being around him a few times.

 

[snipes]

Canada shouldn't be beating Finland.

You guys have 3 medals in the last 14 years.

Canada has 7 golds in that same period. Relax.

 

[Judas Tavares]

Team Finland is a treat to watch. Lots of skill.

Canada needs to stop trying to pass it in the net and be better near the blue paint going forward.

 

[bobbythebrain]

I thought Frost looked fantastic.

Posture also.

 

[admiralcadillac]

One bouncing puck mistake doesn’t negate the crazy amount of offensive chances he’s generated in the games and especially this game.

He had a good game overall.

That tends to happen when you're manning the point as the only d man on the powerplay with 4 other great prospects.

you're conflating chances created with opportunities given

I have absolutely nothing against him he's played well but it feels like I'm missing something here

Forwards:
Frost, Suzuki, Veleno and Hayton were the most effective.

Defense:
Meh... Dobson needs to wake up. Bouchard showed good offense but bad D. The rest were ok but nobody stood out. In general, they should concentrate more on defence and let the forward generate the offence.

Goalies:
Not as bad as what has already been said here, but we might have our usual TC goalie controversy...

 

[DangerDave]

Good game

I think Canada will have them if these teams meet again.

Tippett, Comtois, Bouchard will be Canada's top three players of the tournament.

Thought Tippett was one of the worst players on the ice tonight but I agree with everything else.

 

[TT1]

Missed the game, do we have a consensus on the D pairings yet? Whos playing with who, which RD is playing LD and whos on the PP/PK? Thanks in advance, goooooooooo Canada!

the coach is modifying the pairings through the games to see who is working better togheter and what each one is made of... So far MacIsaac looks like the 7th defenseman, looks bad out there, Brook isnt playing much but the coach know what he is made of and probably want to see other guys before the big games happen, so he should get increased responsabilities as the tournament progress... Tonight Brook has played alot with Dobson on the left side, looked good while Dobson was struggling...

 

[FinnishSniper]

How was Kakko and Lundell?

 

[The Burning GOAT]

Recap? Highlights? Anyone?

Edit: Nevermind

 

[Patrik Barkov]

You guys have 3 medals in the last 14 years.

Canada has 7 golds in that same period. Relax.

Same amount of gold medals in the last 9 years

 

[1OApick]

How about Lundell vs Lafreniere? I missed the game but I saw Lundells goal. Which one was better?

 

[Yatzhee]

Finnish goalie looks good, real good.

 

[groov2]

He is about 2" taller.

This is a brutal photo to judge anything by.

Agree with this. I keep harping on Dobson but its true. Even Bouchard generating a lot of offense, hes getting his point shots through on the PP right now (which is great) but how great is he actually vs hes just the one playing the point on a team Canada PP?

Are we talking offensively? Pretty great
