GDT: Group B • Dec. 26 • Finland 1, Canada 8

Our defense looks like puppies, very worrying. Armia totally invisible, just as last year.

The finnish defense has not been good at all, you can blame Gibson for not making key saves but he is not facing easy situations/shots.

Not only are we giving leeway in talent but also in coaching. It's like there's no gameplan for offense nor defense, everyone is clueless, except for the first line and they're getting by mostly on their skill and hockey instincts.

If Määttä really got concussed, this tournament was over for us after the 1st period of the 1st game.

I hope Finland attempts to load up their first line, throw Barkov there instead of Markus. I think Mi. Granlund, Pulkkinen and Barkov could be very dangerous, and Barkov is big enough to actually battle for the puck.

 

[Jack DiBiase]

If he was our best defenceman, then I would be mad...at Hockey Canada for not creating better defencemen.

You have to let it go. It may have been cheap-ish, but it was clean. That's hockey bro.

Yeah, I'm also mad that our players are smurfs that can't take a hit.
