GDT: Canada vs Czechia 3pm PT/ 6pm ET/ Midnight CEST - Aug 13th, 2022

I'm starting to think McTavish might be as important piece of Ducks future as Zegras, or even more important.

I see him as the future C over Zegras. They both have an insane winning mentality, but it seems like McTavish's is more calm and methodical and Zegras is always hyped as f*** lol

 

[jj cale]

First period sure was a bit of an adventure but they closed it out with a solid 2nd and 3rd.


Finland up next.

I know Bedard is an underage player, but with all the hype I'm defo not seeing it .....

lol

 

[jj cale]

5-1 canada win

You get the trophy tonight.

 

[Go19]

That had to be the easiest call for player of the game

McTavish is the overhyped one. Zegras and Terry are more talented but McTavish will be the power forward compliment to them. The new Getzlaf.

 

[Statsy]

Pretty comprehensive win tonight. Nearly 60 shots on goal and that wasn’t against Austria that we’re talking about.

Good job by the kids, Czechia came out hard against them, their goalie Suchanek was great.

Finland vs Canada should be a banger

This is a confusing comment. I said McTavish will be our future C and you say he is overhyped, but compare him to Getzlaf, our longtime captain with over 1,000 points?

Unless you are responding to me saying Zegras is hyped. I meant that as in Zegras is always talking, always energetic. Which I feel like clashes with typical "leadership" players.

Good game

Better weather!

Also the opponent could always hire Tyson Nash if Zegras wants to skill it up.

Gotta give credit to Suchanek. He made some AMAZING saves and kept that from turning into a laugher. Must have been exhausting.

I think you're conflating talent with skill.

 

[chaosrevolver]

Been a passenger and turnover machine all tournament one goal does not change that lol.

The timing was just fitting.

Never said it necessarily did. You need to give more than 2 games to bench someone with his skill level though imo. Especially when the majority of the team has been turnover machines.

"Overhyped" but a new getzlaf, well shit i wanna see what underhyped Ducks prospects will become then.

 

[Karl Eriksson]

How does Grieg look?

Ah I misunderstood. You mean hyper. And I think you are right there. McTavish is more likely to be the leader than Zegras. And I should have said a Getzlaf type player.

You do realise that "a Getzlaf type player" carries some weight?

Hmmm watching the right team?

View attachment 576804Good game

Better weather!

I don’t get it. Better weather? Isn’t summer weather to be expected in August?

It’s true that Bedard wasn’t particularly impressive today. He had a lot more trouble making plays. But considering his age, that is to be expected.

 

[dtown77]

How did Sebrango look? Not mentioned once.. that either good or bad lol

 

[Zerotonine]

Triple underager actually. He's garbage in this game but somehow still did some good stuff and it would be strange if he'd dominate vs good teams as a triple underager.

I'll admit it pretty much is the first game I watched of him

 

[Silky Johnson]

I swear I haven't noticed pretty much anyone other than McTavish and Bedard for Canada this tourney... Like actually

I'm kinda disappointed in quite a few Canadians that I have heard a ton of hype about

Greig

 

[newfy]

How did Sebrango look? Not mentioned once.. that either good or bad lol

He was good. The announcers talked about how calm and steady he is and that he's probably Canadas most important dman out there. Had a couple big hits.

At the AHL level he shows barely any offense but coming down and playing against guys his own age he definitely shows enough to think he has a solid NHL future. Wont be a 50 point guy or anything but he moves the puck up really well. Hes really good defensively and physically though so he should compliment a partner really well

 

[EbonyRaptor]

How did del Mastro look?
