GDT: Quarterfinal - May 17 - Russia vs Canada

[Canuckistani]

So does Vlasic. Doesnt answer my question.

Canada's top goalies have always been reluctant to attend the WHC for some reason. Once they play on a best-on-best team they seem to regard it as beneath them.

Brayden Schenn can't handle the puck or make a play. Why are they playing him on the top line? Schwartz could go back there, or move O'Reilly to the middle and put Turris on that wing to shoot pucks.
Schenn is killing plays all over the ice, and has for a few games now since being put on that line. Would like to see that changed.

This Team Canada is pretty terrible. It's one or two players carrying the team at this point.

*cries in McDavid*

What are you saying?

That good players routinely don't go to the World Championships?

This isn't news.

But best player in the world does. Canada just isnt a good goaltending nation anymore.

 

[jj cale]

Too bad. But its not like Price is the only Canadian goalie thats good and yet you end up with this guy in net?

I am sure they asked better guys but they obviously refused, what the f*** are ya gonna do?.................threaten their family if they don't come?

There's some truth to that.

Anyone we used to send was good enough back in the day. It was the rest of the team that was always in question.

They just putting like 3 guys on McDavid now.

I mean McDavid is there,Vlasic is there,RNH is there. Are you saying they are bad players?

That's Russia through to the semifinals then

Yeah so?

Some guys showed up? A lot of guys said no?

I'm not sure what you are getting at.

This isn't the best team that could be assembled from the available players, but that being said, the team that has been assembled should be playing much better.

 

[DDRhockey]

Canada is offensively a blackhole without #97

 

[hockeyguy1967]

Yep, sucks He is getting Oilers flashbacks.

 

[hockeyguy1967]

Just put McDavid on every line f this team.

 

[jj cale]

Just saw someone in the stands with one of the old 70's czechoslovakia jerseys on................cool!!

 

[jj cale]

They only need one opportunity with keumper.............scary.

 

[Del Preston]

Schwartz is a monster.

 

[jj cale]

Yes!!!!!

Turris!!

 

[MattySnipes]

What a goal!!!

 

[NyQuil]

Someone else!

 

[BL92]

Damn, what a goal.

 

[jj cale]

O.k guys, you got the break you needed.............................keep the foot on the f***in gas!!!

No sleepwalking.

 

[RobRayzor]

What’s up with these garbage goals?

 

[hockeyguy1967]

Schwartz is a monster.

I thought he has been horrible this tourney, very disappointing. When he was with McDavid and Nuge, he would miss tap ins and constantly lose the puck. Every time I saw #17 he was losing it.
Glad he stepped up this game.

 

[MattySnipes]

Zaitsev, with a tip in front. My God. Can we hold leads? f*** sakes!

 

[jj cale]

for f*** sakes.
