GDT: Canes at the 2018 WJC

[Cardiac Jerks]

As long as Jake bean is on the ice anything is possible

Second least ice time for Canadian d in the first. Played two and a half mins.

Canadian penalty. Czechs need to score here.

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

Yup this is over.

Czechs take another absolutely stupid penalty and Canada is 3/3 on the power play.

I should’ve watched the canes game tonight.

Boy you are missing a great Canes game

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

Boy you are missing a great Canes game

I would switch over since this one is basically done but the canes have been doing much better since I took a break following that awesome game against the leafs so maybe I’ll stay away a bit longer.

4-1 now. Floodgates are opening. What an easy path to the finals Canada ended up with compared to the USA. As much as I hate losing to them it was almost worth it.

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

5-1 now and they finally call a timeout.

Can anyone confirm bill peters is at the canes game tonight or is he coaching the Czechs?

He was on the bench and Canes just got a shutout

I think you have to watch some games soon, they are playing good lately

 

[Breakdowns]

Bean with an assist

Bean with an assist

How dare he

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

How dare he

Don’t worry, he wont do anything meaningful. 6-1 now and the Czechs changed goalies.

Batherson with the hat trick. He’s this years Chabot.

Interesting stat, the last three years the team with the best pp has won the tournament.

 

[Breakdowns]

Necas on the bench looks very disappointed

Best he get used to that now. It will make his transition to the canes that much easier.

 

[Breakdowns]

Bean just missed a good chance

I hope game vs Sweden in the final will be more competitive

 

[Canes]

So from what I gather, someone named Drake Batherson is the next surefire NHL superstar

 

[Breakdowns]

Czechs are given up long ago, this is not the team I watched in group stages and after

 

[Breakdowns]

7:2 - comeback is real

He’s this years Chabot and what do you know he’s another sens prospect from the Q. Good story, though. Wasn’t even invited to the summer development camp.

Don't want it to seem like I'm dissing his play, just some of the overreactions that will come from it.

He is definitely outplaying several of his more highly touted peers though.

I get what you’re saying. I’m comparing him to Chabot because he’s this years media darling that gets mentioned every other sentence whether he’s on the ice or not. Like you said, it’s gonna get nuts.

 

[Breakdowns]

No comeback for the Czech in the end

Hopefully Necas can get more points tomorrow

From Pronman's WJC Journal...his MVP vote:

ALL-STAR BALLOT
Members of the media are now asked to submit an MVP pick and an All-Star ballot for the tournament comprising three forwards (irrelevant of wing or center), two defensemen and a goalie. My picks are:

Forward: Casey Mittelstadt, USA (Buffalo)
Forward: Martin Necas, Czech Republic (Carolina)
Forward: Filip Zadina, Czech Republic (2018 draft eligible)
Defenseman: Adam Fox, USA (Calgary)
Defenseman: Rasmus Dahlin, Sweden (2018 draft eligible)
Goalie: Filip Gustavsson, Sweden (Pittsburgh)
MVP: Casey Mittelstadt

Mittelstadt and Necas are easily the top two forwards so far. Both have been so dynamic and at times carried their teams for long stretches.

From Pronman's WJC Journal...his MVP vote:

But can Mittelstadt do a pull-up.

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

Czechs are just a garbage team aside from like three guys. Very lucky to have even been in the medal round. Clearly can’t hang with any of the top 3.

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

Czechs pulled their starting goalie and then put him back in after pulling their backup

Can anyone think of a time they’ve seen that? I can’t.

 

[Breakdowns]

Poor Necas, he must be heartbroken

But he got another assist

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

Sweden dodged a bullet due to a super early whistle. The goalie never had the puck and they whistled the play dead as Canada scored. Swedes look better overall, though.
