GDT: CAN vs. AUT May 14, 2024

[PanniniClaus]

Austria are in a passive zone and Canada is tearing it apart.

 

[JackSlater]

Canada is doing a much better job this game of generating chances. Much more decisive choices and movements.

Men vs. Boys

 

[NyQuil]

Nick Paul with the hands.

SIT DOWN SELFIE COUPLE

 

[jj cale]

Bedard Bedarding.

Have to be good to be lucky and lucky to be good.

5-1 Canada.

Well, at least it means we won't have European visitors to our threads to inform us that we didn't score enough goals.

What a yearly bore that schtick is.

 

[NyQuil]

LOL, Bedard's shot = instant rebound. Just too strong.

 

[JackSlater]

That's funny about the team Canada rings from Hockey Canada last year. "Worst team ever" inscription.

LOL, Bedard's shot = instant rebound. Just too strong.

It's interesting how heavy the shot looks and seems to be.

 

[NyQuil]

Again, good reffing in this game.

They've let some of the ticky tacky obstruction stuff go.

 

[JackSlater]

Dubois and Tavares are too much for Austria to handle down low.

It's a strong pairing on paper, but I'm curious to see how they will do against better competition that they won't be able to bully as much down low.

 

[HabSgt]

Poke-Luc Dubois 6-1

 

[jj cale]

Not sure why Tavares has been shit on so much by fans........he's been o.k so far.

 

[NyQuil]

Was that a PP goal? Miller kept saying it.

I thought they were offsetting minors.

Yeah, it's been a solid line with Hagel and Dubois thus far.

Cozens has looked good. Paul as well. McCann.

TAVARES YOU GOON!

 

[MeHateHe]

Not sure why Tavares has been shit on so much by fans........he's been o.k so far.

He seems to be the favourite whipping boy for Leafs fans, so maybe that's carrying over.

 

[NyQuil]

I love that ref screaming at him. LOL.

As far as I'm concerned, you start over again at zero as soon when you suit up for Team Canada.

Much better period for Canada.

Paul showing why he was given a spot......people seemed to forget his work in the last WHC he was in. Cozens good today as well for sure.


Better communication between the d pairings today. I think jackslater is right in that it is a little hard to read the lines right now.

 

[MeHateHe]

As far as I'm concerned, you start over again at zero as soon when you suit up for Team Canada.

For sure, although I can imagine how 57 years of futility might impact how you cheer.

And if I can cheer for Brad f***ing Marchand, Leafs fans should damn well suck it up for Tavares.

Mitch Marner interrupts his internet reading to say WHAT?

Okay, maybe it's a tie.

 

[jj cale]

Strange as it may sound I've never had my soul crushed by a Toronto Maple Leafs loss.

 

[NyQuil]

LOL, McCann's favourite thing to do in Prague is the Dubliner Irish Pub.

Doing your ancestors proud!

McCann flashing some actual personality and humour with the interviewer, a rarity among Canadian hockey players.

Look, he gave a 100 per cent in that interview. Chipped his responses into the corner, and then went hard to the net.

But if you're going to Prague to visit an Irish pub, you're doing Prague wrong. My favourite European city.

A clam would be more charming and engaging in an interview then 99.9 percent of our players.

Ten years in newspapers told me one thing. Most people are boring and don't know much about anything beyond the thing they do most days.
