GDT: [WJC] Slovakia vs. Canada, 6pm EST 11/8/22

[nergish]

What a goal by McTavish. 7-1

How did he get that much power on that backhand with his reach extended like that?!

This is sure-fire NHL player.

FWIW: Othmann replaced Roy on the first line on that shift and immediately, the first line scores.

 

[Lays]

Good looking prospect for NYR. Has looked good for a while, nice seeing him playing well.
Too bad he just lost his shutout, but no big deal.

Goal wasn’t his fault at least. Sloppy defense and no urgency

 

[MichaelFarrell]

If Greig, Ostapchuk, and Boucher make the NHL, you’d better keep your head up against Ottawa.

Ostapchuk has had a good game so far.

Roy skating is not good enough 2 play with
Bedard and mac

Yes, they could have handled that better and wrapped up a stick at least after Garland did the heavy lifting.
Garland looks really solid

 

[bsu]

No. He isn't. Even Roy is a better goal scorer than him.

Thanks for that. Now I know to never listen to any takes from you moving forward.

He needs the puck on his stick to be effective - not his fault he is playing with 2 possession dominant forwards.

@LEAFANFORLIFE23 I can totally see your point now. Who needs games against fodder teams like Latvia that are tied for 30 minutes when you can play proven powerhouses like Slovakia who lose 6-0 after 30.

 

[MichaelFarrell]

I wish Wyatt Johnston was on Canada. Did he not make the team or did he opt out like Power and Wright?

All games are valuable -- just ask the players. I know you're responding to someone else, but I think it's worth mentioning, and I like to say this. I'm also an avid fan of women's hockey, where the USA and Canada absolutely dominate, and the women's teams that aren't the USA and Canada have repeatedly said that games against them have value.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Bedard to Roy to McTavish! 8-1. boys need to stop celebrating now…

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

hatttttttttttttttttttttty

 

[Dominance]

Slovakia just COMPLETELY abandoned defense for the chance to get a hit on Bedard

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Still dealing with an injury

 

[CoSi]

Good guy Roy giving Mctavish the hatty

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Thanks for that. Now I know to never listen to any takes from you moving forward.

Then you would be the loser. You should see my keeper league team (only points count). McTavish is going to be a very valuable forward for Anaheim because he is a power forward and does everything well. He will put u a lot of points. Probably a lot of goals. I saw Dylan Guenther as a bigger point producer. I was hoping the Ducks would draft him.

Bedard to Roy to McTavish! 8-1. boys need to stop celebrating now…

Slovakia’s playing chippy as hell. They’re not down and out. Let’s blow up the score board and celebrate every one.

“When 16 have the puck, make sure he is in 5 man coverage“

 

[SelltheTeamFrancesco]

That was an ugly goal. How do you let that in?

 

[GermanSpitfire]

How did Johnson miss that?

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

“When 16 have the puck, make sure he is in 5 man coverage“

if he was the only talented player on the team like some of the lesser teams in the wJC that might make sense.

 

[All Mighty]

Props to Roy for that very unselfish play.

 

[Dominance]

“When 16 have the puck, make sure he is in 5 man coverage“

Someone get a freeze-frame of the entire Slovakian team huddled around Bedard while Roy and McTavish are in on a 2 on 0

 

[MichaelFarrell]

I understand Slovakia is outmatched, but you can’t keep giving away goals like that. Dear lord.
