Line Combos: World Junior Talk

[Burrowsaurus]

I'm getting old.

Is sauceless good or bad?

Bad. Lacking sauce.

Not that they’re a bad team. Just got no sauce

Poor vladdy

 

[Nova Stutzlia]

Poor vladdy

Was just gonna post that.

 

[Wondercarrot]

Not for nothing but Yakemchuk looked better in training camp and pre-season than any of the guys playing RS (Bonk Gibson Price/Akey) for Canada so far…

 

[Wondercarrot]

Didn’t want to be too harsh on the game board but Canada’s D outside Shaeffer and Molendyk kind of blow lol
Zero chance Yak isn’t better than at least 4 of those guys including all 3 RS guys - not just this game - pre tourney too

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Kinda crazy...Latvia looks like the better team so far.

 

[Emerica]

i can’t stand cowan.

 

[Wondercarrot]

Top line has been completely invisible.

 

[DrEasy]

0 for 5 on the PP so far, if only we had 2 or 3 D prospects who specialize in this stuff...

edit: 0 for 6 now...

 

[NyQuil]

Well I saw this coming.

 

[DrEasy]

James Duthie should have had Ron McLean's job 10 years ago.

 

[Masked]

Team Canada is playing a perimeter game. Latvia is controlling the slot and Canada doesn't have an answer for it.

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

I think Canada definitely over thought their roster, trying to pick only two-way players, but they left skill off their roster. Yakemchuk would've helped, not enough hungry players out there.

 

[DrEasy]

Rink is so quiet... Miss those WJC games in Halifax. Or in Europe.

 

[BigRig4]

Rink is so quiet... Miss those WJC games in Halifax. Or in Europe.

Not much to cheer about so far

 

[milkbag]

Is Latvia actually decent or do we just suck this year?

 

[DrEasy]

Who knew the one-timer was an important weapon on the PP?

 

[DJB]

I screamed in anger when it was announced that Cameron was the coach . He’s dog crap

We lack any type of offense from the back end. It’s ludicrous that we left Yakemchuk at home and it shows as our PP stinks.

Add in leaving talented and skilled forwards at home and bringing in worker bees types once again backfired on Team Canada . We never learn and keep repeating ourselves

But Team Canada brass continues to outsmart themselves year after year

We are going to get crushed by the Americans

 

[Sensrule]

Somewhere Kaspars Daugaviņš is rejoicing.

 

[Ouroboros]

Would be so cool to see Latvia pull this off.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Pretty cool for Latvia

 

[L'Aveuglette]

I don't care how good the Latvian goalie is, if you can't score on him with nearly 60 shots, you've got major problems lol.
