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

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

Smith and Dobson should be out there a lot. Bouchard should be sheltered because he's a huge defensive liability.

 

[SI90]

damn kid?

You’re right, he’s playing like a man!

 

[Cult of Hynes]

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

Nah, gotta give it to Bouchard and his floating back checking speed.

 

[Peiskos]

Going entirely undefeated en route to gold won’t happen every year, so we’ll have 1 loss this year with our gold medal, big deal.

 

[SI90]

Smith and Dobson should be out there a lot. Bouchard should be sheltered because he's a huge defensive liability.

Agreed.

 

[FinlandPanther]

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.

Not really your team still has so many excellent players.

 

[Boonk]

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

It kinda does...we either get Slovakia or one of Finland/USA

 

[XXIV97]

Good plays by Dobson, Bouchard and Enwhistle

Well no but you can see where the team is lacking by now, it's been quite apparent.

Doesn't make a guy confident.

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.

I don't think that is going to happen. It's not that Canada's program has gotten worse, it's that a lot of other countries have gotten much better imo.

 

[Angry Little Elf]

Bouchard's playing like he wants to be back on the Oilers ASAP

 

[TimeZone]

Dobson has looked better than Bouchard all tournament long. Time to increase his totals.

 

[SI90]

Going entirely undefeated en route to gold won’t hallen every year, so we’ll have 1 loss this year with our gold medal, big deal.

Geez games not over. Have some faith!

 

[ORRFForever]

Amen. A loss would not be the worst thing for this team. It might be a good thing.

 

[SI90]

Big save by DP

 

[TheBeastCoast]

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

Meh. Last years team blew like 2 leads to the Americans and lost in the medal round too. Teams are defined by how they play in the medal round not if they happen to lose on New Years Eve. If they wilt in the quarters I will be all aboard slagging this group.

 

[SillyRabbit]

HUGE from DiPietro

 

[KrejciMVP]

No.....

 

[Stanley Cup]

Ray Ferraro before the game : this won't be a 2-1 game
well well well

 

[koyvoo]

The holes in that D

 

[Blender]

Huge save from DiPietro

 

[The Kessel Run]

Brain-dead D.

 

[Sonny21]

Is the Russian goalie Kochetkov draft eligible?

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

STOP GIVING THEM BREAKAWAY

 

[t0nedeff]

Smith complete garbage that entire shift 2 breakaways
