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

[TheBeastCoast]

No they didn't. They long period of pressure created by Finland's carelessness.

Yeah had nothing to do with Canada.

 

[Dominance]

How do you just completely miss the puck on that gaping net.

 

[780il]

Great pass.... And a whiff

 

[Morlu]

Finland looks good. I agree with a lot of the posters here, the defense is suspect.

 

[Danh33]

Bouchard is our best D, but that's not saying much. He's brutal defensively, and the supposedly 2nd best defender, Ty Smith was in the box for a bad penalty because he's too slow and casual at getting the puck out.

How's Dobson looking?

 

[Jussi]

Yeah had nothing to do with Canada.

Finland made it easy for Canada.

 

[Dominance]

Another big hook there.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Finland made it easy for Canada.

Okay.

 

[TimeZone]

They really love forcing passes.

Not impressed, to say the least. Yikes.

 

[780il]

STOP TRYNNA PASS THE PUCK INTO THE NET FFS

 

[Dominance]

Where’s the hold?

 

[snipes]

Awful PP

 

[Canucks LB]

From watching this. It just seems like canadas defence is either overrated or if they’re just simply not playing good.

I’m going to go with the latter, I think Canada comes up big in the third, And the defence plays better

 

[JJTT]

Good job by Talvitie there

 

[Ezekial]

Bad way to end a period.

 

[8816 others]

Both goalies are being hung out to dry by the team in front of them. Don't you dare hurt Scott's record!

 

[admiralcadillac]

Thanks for the responses everybody

No one owes you a response lol it's obvious I was joking. It also confirmed that finland was dominating until a flip switched after the 3rd finnish goal.

 

[TimeZone]

We seem to be lacking some high end talent this year.

Defense also not looking too hot.

 

[snipes]

Get the bugs out now. Really unimpressed with effort across the board from the team tonight.

At least it’s only an exhibition game.

 

[ProspectsSTC]

At least Brook and Suzuki have looked good

 

[Jussi]

Good way to end the period.

 

[Dominance]

Finland made it easy for Canada.

Honestly I agree. Obviously Finland is the measuring stick for everyone else. Crazy that they’ve made it easy for someone else 19/20 times the last two decades.

 

[Get North]

How's Dobson looking?

He just can't make high-end plays that our defence desperately needs. He's had a lot of time on the blue-line with the puck, but he just ends up getting a weak shot from a bad angle, it hit the goalie, but that's not enough when we have Finland on their heels. Overall, he's seems too casual and soft. I'm not looking for Chris Pronger, but I'm looking for some intense defence that can pin the Fins on the wall and win 1 on 1 puck battles in our end.

We can't do that right now with defence. Duncan Keith is 5'10-5'11 and he makes it extremely difficult on forwards. We don't need size, we need intensity and physicality.

I was saying thank you for people telling me how Mike DiPietro was playing.

 

[Christien]

After how poorly the power play has been for Canada, they should definitely try Veleno out there.
