GDT: Canada vs Česko

[ORRFForever]

We are the Yankees of international hockey. If you aren't a fan, you hate them.

That's fair.

 

[Megustaelhockey]

I have been so embarrassed by Canadian fan behaviour during this tournament. Low key hoping for another Boxing Day massacre to remind people, especially in the 14-30 age group, that humility is a virtue.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

What is your source for that information?

I saw it with my own eyeballs

 

[ClasslessGuy]

5-3 Canada

 

[Czechboy]

Got a link for the bolded? Haven't seen that anywhere at all from any media outlet.

Gord Miller before the tourney began on Twitter.

 

[ORRFForever]

The US was the better team yesterday.

I disagree.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Joshua Roy and Tyson Hinds are going to win this game for Canada OR David Spacek will win it for Czechia.

Any other result is impossible.

Do you mind sharing more details?

Where did they get in and for how long? How many kids, and what time of morning?

Cold water immersion is a very potent method for improving focus and energy. I'm curious if this will work or backfire for the Czechs. It does sound super weird to try it now, have the Czechs been doing this all tournament?

Perhaps you've heard of this Bedard kid? My money is on him. Kid thrives in big games so far.

Is he playing in Sherbrooke? Never heard of him if he isn't.

Why not the other David?

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Why not the other David?

He is not known for rising from his ashes like the other three

Canada didn't really generate a lot of good chances compared to the US, their defence had been letting other teams skate through them all tournament. The game came down to goaltending.

Goaltender is part of the team, lord knows we've been on the other side often enough times.

But when a goalie beats us....................it's all well and good and no one seems think the team that beat us was anything other then the better team.

Strange how it works,

Entire team and coaching staff was there, around noon ish

Got in at the stairs by Queens Marque, no idea how long they were in there for

Shane Wright has to finally do something tonight...right?

Shane Wright has to finally do something tonight...right?

I've been hard on him, too, but, to his credit, he's played a strong 200 foot game - playing to his strength.

I thought he's played all right the last few games.

It being both Shane Wright and Brennan Othmann's birthday today brings up an innocuous but crazy stat that shows just how much impact birthdate has on hockey success:

10 of the 23 players on the Canadian roster are born in January or February. 4 of those are born in the first week. It is good to be the oldest player on your team at a given age - leads to more opportunities and a disproportionate number of these player move on to higher levels.

7-2 Canada.

The old Malcolm Gladwell argument that just never seems to hold true. Connor Bedard? The actual best player on the team? June. Every single player in the top 10 scorers in the OHL? Zero born in January of February. Zero.

We'll need to weather the Canadian storm in the first few minutes. If we survive that, we have a chance. Before the tournament started we managed to beat Canada twice in 30+ years. If our boys can do it twice in one tournament they'll go down as legends. Česi do toho!

best of luck

When did a goalie beat Canada?

 

[Mr Kot]

Sorry but Kazakstan is winning yhis tonight.

Ok Karen

The U.S and Finland have beaten us with superior goaltending plenty of times in the past, Our goalies didn't match up..
