GDT: WJC Preliminary Round: Game 19 | 12/31 | 5:00PM PST | Russia Vs Canada

[AjaxManifesto]

Go Kostin

 

[The Kessel Run]

Canada looks either physically gassed or mentally defeated after that goal.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

I don't think it's fair to blame Dipietro. I think he's played well tonight

 

[XXIV97]

I guess Bouchard is still shit after saving that goal

 

[trilobyte]

Still plenty of time here to get that one back.
Get your heads in shape Canada

 

[4thlineduster]

Bouchard giveth

Bouchard taketh away

Giveth what? He’s contributed nothing this tourney so far as I can tell

 

[krt88nc]

How do Russians have more shots? Doesn’t feel that way.

 

[Legend123]

this team has talent. It's just horribly managed and coached.

 

[Boonk]

This offense man...clear shot to the net and they pass, but then when they shoot its into a Russian players shins

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

this canada team is awful

 

[Cult of Hynes]

Hunter going Willie D with the rolling of 4 lines and all 3 d pairs when right now he should be leaning on his actual best pairing and best two lines.

 

[jj cale]

I guess I am reserving judgement on all of that until they play the quarters. That is where all of that stuff really matters.

True enough but from what I have seen i'm not very hopeful.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

2 of the last 3 years now Canada has had a brutal team in this Tournament.

3 notably weak draft years for Canada. The fact we got a Gold and Silver out of the last two years says a lot about Ducharme.

 

[ORRFForever]

Not Canada's night. Fortunately a loss is not the end of the world.

 

[trilobyte]

This game does not dictate what happens in next round, geez

 

[Joey Moss]

Should've been highsticking there on Bouchard in the slot

 

[MackAttack26]

Full marks to the Russian goalie if they hold on. He has been great.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

This game does not dictate what happens in next round, geez

kinda... yes

 

[SI90]

What a play and pass by Dobson. Give this damn kid more ice time!!

 

[Alerion]

Dunno how Bowers is still higher in the lineup than Veleno.

 

[4thlineduster]

This game does not dictate what happens in next round, geez

Being that it’s the difference between playing Slovakia or Finland/USA.......it kind of does

 

[TimeZone]

Unfortunately this team reminds me more of the 2016 squad than last years.

 

[Legend123]

What a play and pass by Dobson. Give this damn kid more ice time!!

damn kid?

 

[780il]

Good pass by Dobson, great stop

Seems like a worrying trend for Canada.

Hockey Canada needs to find a way to improve the program and return to the dominant ways of the past.

 

[Addison Rae]

Let’s go Canada
