GDT: Quarterfinal - May 18 - Canada (2) vs Germany (1)

[Atomos2]

That play was basically the London knights powerplay of 2015/16 - keep Marner the same, replace O'Reilly with Matthew Tkachuk and replace Scheifele with jj Picinich and its the exact play. Marner runs this pp

 

[Matt24]

If Germany can stay out of the box, they might be able to keep this game close and give themselves a shot at the end. If not, they're probably screwed.

 

[snipes]

I'd take Drai over Scheifele any day of the week but they're both top 10 forwards in the league right now.

Yup. Drai is well on his way to superstardom, he's incredible to watch. He's also a physical player too, just a tank protecting the puck.

 

[jj cale]

You must be fun at parties. He probably meant Draisaitl in terms of NHL scoring. But Scheifele was one place ahead.

I'm tons of fun.

Draisatl was nothing special in that period aside from a few brief moments. Great young player but that was not a period of hockey where I would go wow!!


Let's not give him overkudos based on his name only.

To make special plays you need to have capable partners. For some of Germanys players his passes are more like shots. Difficult to adjust ...

It sure helps.

 

[Zybalto]

Pure dominance by Canada now.

 

[jj cale]

Incoming P.P.

[Zaar]

Germany is losing the order. There are always one or two Canadians free and now PP again

 

[Zybalto]

Flying V from Canada on the PP there? lol

 

[jj cale]

Well there goes that.

 

[Bear12Good]

[Muston Atthews]

Marner gets tripped and as he is falling high sticks the guy who tripped him and gets called

[Latgale_fan]

2 minutes for being tripped

Nothing new, I would say as team Latvia fan...

 

[Zaar]

What kind of PP is that?

 

[Deadly Dogma]

Wow almost every single shift Marner creates a chance!!

 

[Latgale_fan]

What kind of PP is that?

It may not be the PP you want, but it's the PP you deserve

 

[leaflover]

Is there another way to phrase that?

 

[Zaar]

It may not be the PP you want, but it's the PP you deserve

Oh, you're funny. Sour grapes are nothing new from the Latvian fans on this board

 

[Zamboni Parade]

Well to be fair the call on Marner was pretty weak.

 

[Privet]

Common Germany. 1 shot, 1 goal. can be a tie game!

I'm just kidding, I don't give a **** about whether we lost or win. I love the game, not the result. All my jabs about refereeing are just in good spirit, and this particular one was just paraphrasing fake Bernie Sanders talking about the US presidential debate ON Comedy Central
Although refereeing is generally atrocious at IIHF as always, Slovaks had a legit goal vs us not counted, we had issues in the game vs you... Gladly nobody counted a goal that was not actually scored as during some other IIHF WC.. or wait a minute
