GDT: WJC Pre Tournament Games

[Satan]

there's no need to make that hit in this game

 

[Ail]

Swiss player turned completely into that hit

Yeah, one of those last minute already committed to the hit plays, wasn't malicious. Unfortunate.

 

[Playmaker09]

Idk I mean its a tough board for sure but I thought it was a bit unlucky.

Couldn't have been more of a major penalty if he tried.

 

[Hinterland]

Celebrini ejected after boarding Braillard. Stupidly dangerous play in an exhibition game that counts for nothing.

Yeah. Totally expected bs like this from Beck or Minten but not necessarily from Celebrini. I just hope that Braillard is okay.
Also, the PP looks like a Jenni special

 

[TLEH]

Couldn't have been more of a major penalty if he tried.

I agree with the ejection and the major penalty.

 

[Mitch nylander]

With Celebrini missing time this is gonna be a tough tournament for Canada. He's been easily their best player. Minten and Savoie have looked very good as well.

Beck has had a solid game. Yager looks bad. Who can play c on this team?

 

[hockey20000]

Good to know that our PP is still shit. Overpassing as usual and of course Dionicio with the dangerous plays again on the blue line.

pp looked decent early on to be fair your not gonna score on every pp settle down

Wooooo renfrew, Ontario

yager will be fine.

 

[Hinterland]

I love TSN still talking about the coaches son

 

[Speyer]

Not scoring on it is not the point. Its just that the same problems were visible again that have plagued our PP for years. Its a coaching issue, at least partly.

 

[Mitch nylander]

With Celebrini Suspended?

What would you run?

Geekie- Poitras - Savoie
Cowan/Rehkopf - Minten - Dumais
Cowan/Rehkopf - Yager - Wood
Allard - Beck - Danielson

 

[D0ctorCool]

Cowan/Yager/Wood line has been invisible. Cowan had a couple decent individual efforts and that's about all that I've noticed.

Poitras does for Boston and usually is one of better players- not sure how translates from NHL to bigger ice

Agreed, that line isn't working. If Celebrini is suspended I think they should move Cowan up to line 2 with Minten centring him and Dumais.

Would like to see more of Rehkopf too.

 

[jj cale]

We are being forgiven today by a weaker then usual team Swiss, forget sweden and the u.s, we would be in tough against the czechs, slovaks and likely losing against the finns today, they've looked pretty rough and now there is 2 guys out.

Agreed, that line isn't working.

If Celebrini is suspended I think they should move Cowan up to line 2 with Minten centring him and Dumais.

Yeah, Rehkohf has to be deployed.

I agree. Once Celebrini is back I'd take out yager.. Move Minten to the middle at 3c.

 

[Jimmy71]

I love TSN still talking about the coaches son

Geez they mentioned him twice I do believe

 

[Hinterland]

Geez they mentioned him twice I do believe

Yeah. Too funny because it's not true...well...at least not officially. Maybe TSN is secretly breaking news here

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

This guy ain’t the starter is he?

 

[jj cale]

Well Ratzlaff

 

[Dominance]

Yeesh the goaltending could really kill us.

 

[jj cale]

You still finding this funny tmllfc?

 

[Hinterland]

I was making fun of TSN for their Jenni comments but I have to respect them for their knowledge of Swiss hockey. They correctly pointed out the gap between SL and U20 elites which is the biggest problem in Swiss ice hockey.

Also, the level of goaltending in this game is below bad. I don't know whether to laugh or cry
With Huet in net I think Switzerland has a legit chance to win this game. 3 of the 6 goals against have been clearly on Beglieri. Just goes to show how dumb it was not to select the double underager goalies. Grüter and Beglieri are as bad as it gets.

No video of the hit?
