GDT: Quarterfinal • Jan. 2 • Canada 4, Switzerland 1

[DAkings20]

It should be mandatory for Pierre to wear a helmet..........even if he's in the press box.

 

[BlackAces*]

It was actually in the game against the collegiate team or whatever. What the hell was there else to go off of?

The knowledge that Pickard has been dominant, not some scrimmage against a collegiate team.

Brutal, Roy will be lucky to be a career AHLer.

 

[Thepainter]

U.S. has been unimpressive as well....they beat Swiss 2-1 and needed OT to beat Finland.

It would be the battle of the underachievers.

The Swiss are not, as Canada is finding out, to be taken lightly.

fixed

You aren't winning gold Canada - next time punch out neiderreiter - may as well get kicked out of the tournament - most of our players haven't shown up anyway.

 

[Klaus]

I haven't been following tourney too closely but why all the hate on Olsen?

He's just been terrible. Always falling down, mishandling the puck, scoring on his own team, etc. It's like he's just been doing everything wrong.

 

[LaLaLaprise]

Cuz' you, and about 20 others, are like 14 year old girls complaining about every single play saying people "****ing suck" as you so elequantly put it....you guys are all pretty selective when bashing guys though

These 2 kids were chosen as the best goalies U20 in the entire country....but you're right their awful and I'm sure you could play better

Complaining like 14 year old girls...thats what HF is all about...

 

[GrizzLeaf]

Canada has started slow in every game. I sure hope they're firing on all cylinders soon. Sure could use a goal.

 

[BeardyCanuck03]

Neiderreiter (SP?) is very good. I think he will be an extremely good NHLer

I agree, but, for lack of a better term, he's a bit of a *****, which is going to comeback and haunt him.

 

[Svinet]

Its pretty clear that Can will get some goals eventually, i wonder how long the swiss can hold.

 

[Budddy]

It's like they're skating in slush. No speed, no urgency. They don't even want to shoot. Switzerland's gotta be liking what they're seeing so far.

9-3 shots for Canada...controlling the play...they will be fine...

 

[TMLeafer]

Canadian D-zone coverage is brutal.

 

[HemskyToHall*]

Ellis is a turnover machine....

 

[leafygoods]

Canada is playing like a bunch of scared babies early on. They need to skate and Battle and play tough. And I dont think that hit was dirty, little push and it looked like he slipped. Hope Olsen is okay, but i hope they keep him out for precautionary reasons lol

OT: Sweet!, X-Ring spotted in the crowd!

 

[LeafOfBread]

The Swiss are not, as Canada is finding out, to be taken lightly.

No I agree, but that's the problem, people do take them lightly and they end up surprising everyone. The defending champs should have a more convincing win over them, and Canada should not be trailing 1-0 either

Both Canada and U.S. have not played as well as expected imo

Which NHL team do you work as the Head Scout for again? Riiiiiight....

Do you just not like Roy or something? It's 3 games, do you really think it defines the entire 20 year career of a 19 year old goalie? Come on man.

 

[dmacgreg37]

The Swiss are already lining 3 up along their D blueline, that ain't gonna work for 48 mninutes.

 

[Thepainter]

Yeah, true true.

 

[Lundell4Prez]

Finally have Gudbranson playing with Ellis

...Maybe not

Overrated

Sad, but true.

 

[MayDay]

The US barely beat this Swiss team and was taken to a SO against the Fins

No, they weren't.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Barrie and Ellis has the right idea, shoot everything on net and get the rebounds.

 

[GrizzLeaf]

9-3 shots for Canada...controlling the play...they will be fine...

Ya, the Swiss are already playing a defensive game, way too early for that. Canada should get a goal soon enough.

Swiss are relying on that stretch pass quite a bit. It would be nice if a Canadian defender picked one off once in a while and shoved it back down their throats.
