GDT: WJC Pre-Tournament Game #5:Dec 19 Canada Vs Switzerland

[Jason MacIsaac]

Yeah the forwards are dominating as I had hoped but the defense is really hard to get a read on and Brook playing his off side is still a massive concern to me when we come up against better teams.

Absolutely, he is having trouble with the puck now against the Swiss. What is he going to do against Sweden/USA forecheck.

Hard to blame Dipietro, there's no room for excuses in this tournament but his goals were really good chances.

I don't blame him or anything, but goalies aren't supposed to let in every good scoring chance

 

[Dominance]

Can’t blame DiPietro for that one. That’s just a glorious chance leading from a bunch of bad luck after he’s been sitting there icing out for 12 minutes.

Captain Comptois bullying the Swiss players

 

[snipes]

Bouchard is so calm and smooth with the puck

It is but remember those games where we had SO MANY really good chances and the opposing goaltender (usually in the U.S games)............................made those saves?

That's the thing.

I'm still salty my team took Zadina over Bouchard. I'm such a Bouchard fanboy. He's amazing.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Comtois is an NHL player playing in a junior tournament. Just manhandling players.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Comtois is awesome. I hope the refs let him play

With Klefbom and Russell injured, he’d be the best D man on the Oilers right now. At 19.

 

[DangerDave]

Comtois is going to be a huge impact player for Canada. Really impressed

 

[jj cale]

Great work by the swiss player.

 

[DangerDave]

A rough shift for Dobson

 

[snipes]

Pull DiPietro

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

pretty lousy night for Dipietro, but the defense isn't doing him any favours

 

[darknife2311]

Dipietro is scared to see go ...

 

[jj cale]

4-3.

Was about to make a post about how we seem to be getting lazy and the swiss digging their heels in and outworking us, and then they score again.

crowd pretty quiet.

 

[Alerion]

DiPietro is leaving the door wide open.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

pretty sloppy on that last Swiss goal.

I haven't been overly impressed with Dobson.

 

[Cult of Hynes]

What the hell was Dobson doing lol? That could've been avoided if he either passed it to Smith, or cleared it. Instead it looked like a bad pass / weak clear. Can't even tell what it was.

 

[PG Canuck]

Not ideal

 

[veganbruin]

How has Studnicka looked?

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

I haven't been overly impressed with Dobson.

I thought he looked okay offensively, but that was brutally bad defense. that sort of play can't happen

 

[snipes]

Hayton with a good chance
