GDT: Germany Vs Canada | 12/26 @ 6PM ET | TSN/NHLN

[OldCraig71]

Score is what it is. When you’re outmatched and have a leaky goalie, it’s going to be ugly. If they’d swapped goalies, maybe it would’ve been a game.

I have never seen such poor goaltending at this level of hockey, it was embarrassing.

 

[newfy]

That.
Isn't.
True.
The semi finals are reseeded this year. So a tie breaker between the two teams that finish first in the groups is a very very possible outcome.

Is there a spot you can find these rules?

Lol cry me a river... This is what happens when there’s no NHL and you have 19 first rounders playing. Imagine Lafrenierre and Dach played? LOL the only reason other countries ever have a chance is because Canada’s elite talent is too good for this tournament.

And if they don't win, you will eat your words!!

IIHF - Tournament Info 2021 IIHF WORLD JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIP

In the semi-finals the best-ranked team - criteria: 1) placement in the group, 2) points in the preliminary round, 3) goal difference in the preliminary round, 4) goals scored in the preliminary round, 5) seeding coming into the tournament - will play against the lowest-ranked semi-finalist. The 2nd-best ranked semi-finalist will play the 3rd-best ranked semi-finalist. The host if qualified, or otherwise the best-ranked semi-finalist according to beforementioned criteria, shall play the early game. The time slots will officially be determined after the quarter-final games.

Since 2010:
Finland 3,USA 3 titles each,Canada 2,Russia1,Sweden1. The field has levelled out.

Did Byram lose his assist on the Krebs goal in the 2nd period? The IIHF website doesn't have him down for an assist there which seems odd seeing as we were all fawning over that silky pass Byram made to set the goal up.

Imagine thinking this was running up the score when the goalies couldn't stop a beach ball. Even average goaltending and this game is not as lopsided as US vs Austria.

I don't think Canada ran up the score. It was just a normal game with poor goaltending and gassed opponents. Obviously the 3rd period wont have the same intensity like it would have had in a tied game

Exactly it’s not like Canada was extremely physical on the forecheck like they were in the 1st. No one was even celebrating goals or trying pond hockey type moves to rub it in the opponents face. The score got that high because of putrid goaltending.

 

[Northerner]

Two touchdowns + 2 point conversions...versus a safety.


Brutal.


Got me wondering: what's the worst defeat in the history of this tournament?

Since 2015 Canada 3 titles Finland 2 US 1 ...looks like Canada is dominating again.

Since a year ago Canada has won it every time.

Byram’s a no-good, defensive liability, so they gave his assist to someone better

 

[Northerner]

Any idea what the worst defeat in the history of this tournament was?

I'm curious what that score was. This 16-2 might not even crack the top 5 worst of all time?

I imagine Kazakhstan has had some horrific losses.

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

What a joke.

 

[Leafs87]

No one gets paid to post here...

There was a discussion on dogsledding... ?

Damn I missed it...

I meant the game commentators

Could have just of easily been the persons posting on the thread....

His assist was .2 seconds off therefore didn’t count.

Be mad at the tournament itself if you need to, not Canada.
Games like this are why I have mixed feelings for the World Juniors.
It doesn't make me proud as a Canadian to watch a game like that. I just feel bad for the losers getting trounced.
That being said, the Canadian team did nothing wrong here. They have to prepare for the rest of the tournament and nobody has had much time to play and practice leading up to this.

Here it is since 2010... all it shows is that 5 nations are routinely battling hard for this (only Slovakia in 2015 got a medal... everything else is big 5).

The decade before the last decade was the domination:

10 tournaments, 10 medals, 5 straight gold. Amazing!

I didn't bother to add it up but I think Russia has the most medals (total) in this tourney since 2000. 17 medals in 21 years I think.

 

[ACLEVERNAME]

Woke up with an even worse taste in my mouth than usual this morning. And the fact this feeling completely goes over the heads of most Canadian fans in this thread just makes it even worse.

We us to show honour and pride on the ice. Something to be proud of. Different generation of hockey I guess.

Next time our players on the ice should just sit down and let the other team score. Will that assuage the taste in your mouth you purportedly have?

It’s not Canada’s fault the German goalies couldn’t make a routine save. I’ve seen beer league goalies better than that.

 

[copperlion]

I’m actually pretty disappointed in what I’ve seen from Byram in these WJC

I wouldn't go that far but he was taking over the scrimmages and seemed poised to just utterly dominate, yet to see that so far.

A Gold and a Bronze from America from 2000-9 is pretty sad.

Like Canada beating Latvia 16-0 in 2009?
Like Canada beating France 15-0 in 2002?
Like Canada beating Kazakhstan 12-2 in 1999?
Like Canada beating Poland 12-0 in 1990?
Like Canada beating West Germany 18-2 in 1985?

That goalie is probably gonna fake this death, move to cuba and then become a coconut salesmen
