GDT: 2018 WJC • Game 28 • SF2: CAN (7) - CZE (2) F

[Peiskos]

We already know for a fact that these kids grew up dreaming of being in a gold medal game for Canada, and rarely does Canada never not bring it in a GMG. As per usual Canada will likely pepper the Swedish goal with an upwards of 40-50 shots, Swedish goalie better be ready for an onslaught.

 

[trilobyte]

Sweden's D make some great outlet passes, at least they did today against USA.

 

[Aaaaaaaaaaaaa]

How did Zadina not get one of the top 3 Czech players of the tournament. Is his coaches blind?

Do any of the coaches have daughters?

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

It's easier to make an argument that Zadina was in the top 3 overall in the tournament than that he wasn't a top 3 player for the Czechs

 

[Rob]

Do any of the coaches have daughters?

Interesting theory.

 

[JackSlater]

Credit to the Czechs as well for establishing their game early and getting off to a good start. If even one of the two empty net opportunities had been converted it may have been a different game.

 

[Tralfamadore]

I assume the Czech coaching staff was just spreading the love around since Zadina was named player of the game itself.

 

[Spectra]

Wow, this was an unfortunate result. What happened, did the Czech choke? Or are they really this mediocre?

Please god just no shootout.

Canada's the best hockey nation on earth

 

[snipes]

Canada's the best hockey nation on earth

Period.

 

[Bixby Snyder]

Congrats Canada hope for a good game against Sweden.

 

[Isaac Nootin]

Well that was brutal.

Can we fire Ducharme during the intermission?

When will you learn?

 

[Baxterman]

When will you learn?

Learn what, that Ducharme is a garbage coach?

I already know that.

 

[jj cale]

Congrats Canada hope for a good game against Sweden.

Thanks atticus, it should be a good game.

 

[Maplebeasts]

What are peoples thoughts on the top 3 players of the tournament?

Im going to cheat but say

1 of Batherson/Makar

Makar
Kyrou
Batherson

I already know that.

He's clearly not a garbage coach judging from the team he picked and the results on the ice.

The team he picked you called the worst group of forwards ever for Canada. How is that looking now?

You also stated you wouldn't be watching this year's team, I wonder if you've stuck to that. I'm guessing not.

It still is an awful group of forwards, they are lucky the opposition is just as bad this year.

I said I wouldn't move things around to watch games which was true I didn't watch every game live and only watched parts of some games.

 

[Isaac Nootin]

Im watching the Canada game (planning to catch up in PVR during the intermission) but based on the box score maybe I should just skip the 1st period?

Is it as bad as the stats make it look?

It still is an awful group of forwards, they are lucky the opposition is just as bad this year.

I said I wouldn't move things around to watch games which was true I didn't watch every game live and only watched parts of some games.

Looks like you've moved things around, liar.

I won't even bother further addressing your comments about the forward group as you clearly have no clue.

What did I move?

PVRing a hockey game? LOL

I have five kids to get to bed every night I often PVr games so I can watch them.

If that is your "proof" that is laughable.

 

[Mehar]

Canada is going to demolish Sweden

Calm down with the demolish. Canada had a much easier path than Sweden to the Gold. I am actually nervous about this game, as a Canadian fan. Canada needs to stay disciplined, and Carter Hart needs to be the better goalie tomorrow. Still picking Canada to win, but will not be easy.

Canada's forward group has played very well so far. I wasn't entirely sold on them pre-tournament but their depth has been great, they play with a ton of speed and have been a big part of Canada's lethal power play. Every now and then, just admit you were wrong and move on, no shame in that.
