Canada v. Austria Highlights.......

 

[PanniniClaus]

Man to man against Canada just seems to be a terrible terrible game plan... i suppose if that's your base system and it works against Germany.. it was worth it.

A 9 goal lead is commonly known as the worst lead in hockey

 

[Zach716]

It's gotta be so disheartening to be the Austrian tendy right now lol

 

[1989]

I agree it's something out system doesn't even remotely adequately teach.

You can teach it all you like, but the Canadian boys are too strong to even have it be an effective strategy.

Eight, for now. It's 9-1.

Edit: NOW it's the worst lead.

May as well grab a 5th Bedard.

These match-ups are tough because it’s hard to keep the detail in your game when it’s getting a bit too easy.

C'mon man, Slovakia has never been relegated while Austria is regularly, there's a huge difference in team depth between the two.

In most years, no, the depth difference is not massive at all. The comparison is completely logical between Dano and Kasper, Slovakias 2013 team and this years Austria team. Slovakias 2013 team was a one man show, the rest of the performances were brutal. And only one player from that team carved an nhl career (short lived too in Dano). It was just shocking to watch. Is it wrong to expect that from a guy like Kasper who some see as top 15 pick? Also, Slovakia has not produced a first rounder in 8 years while Austria just had Rossi drafted last year. So they have us beat there.
The line of Peeters - Kasper - Rohrer should be controlling play much more even against top teams like that Dano line did, led by Dano an infamous bust of a pick.
Perhaps I am asking too much, but there is significant precedent.

Stop playing the f***ing goal song.

We get it

 

[jetsforever]

nice play by Perfetti

 

[LastOne2100]

This poor goaltender

 

[Chainshot]

Is there a mercy rule?

 

[Akrapovince]

Austria D has a rough time getting in front of Canada's net front forwards. They are always behind and not strong enough to tie up sticks apparently.

Isn’t the prime position in the front of the net for defensemen to be behind the forward being the net front presence?

You’d think being on the defensive side of the puck and being able to box out the forward for rebound and being able to actually see the forward in front as opposed to him being behind you would be beneficial.

Yeah switch it to livin on the edge for goal 10+ and up and play the again again and again part.

 

[Dominance]

That has to be the 10th post.

 

[wonton15]

Is Shane Wright even in this tournament?

 

[Dominance]

Austria’s goalie is actually playing fantastic despite the score.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Every Canadian forward has a point.

 

[Panthaz89]

Is Shane Wright even in this tournament?

Isn't he playing wing today?

 

[SoftDumpNtheCorner88]

Austria literally gave up 2min into the 3rd.

Canada might as well get Bernard his 5th to take the record then just run out the clock. Hate to see teams give up like that and leave their goalie put to dry.

It's like when you score 10goals on a newbie in NHL22 online and he refuses to quit.

 

[Zach716]

Is Shane Wright even in this tournament?

I actually think he's doing a lot of the right things and he could have 3 assists that his teammates didn't finish/unlucky tonight

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Canada should call a timeout and regroup!

 

[kabidjan18]

Really awkward time for a change. Horl had the puck on the blue line, looked up and had no partner.

 

[Antiillafire]

The irony of DJ Ötzi (producer of Hey Baby) being Austrian himself.
