I'm sure they'll be better when they play Sweden or Finland, sometimes these guys get a little bored with games that they come in knowing they should win easily and play sloppy.

Embarrassing reffing.

Bedard's worst game. I have NO idea what he doing out there.

He looks awkward as shit trying to block shots waving around in front of the shooter. So many shots have got past him from the point.

 

[ORRFForever]

Pasche has been a game saver and fair to wonder where this game would be if he started. 3-3?

Yes. Good point.

some Canadian home cooking there

Well said.

Assuming we win, I am glad we have a day off tomorrow.

Hmm, I often agree with you but I’m seeing a young player trying to figure out how to make a difference in the game & getting frustrated occasionally. I like seeing him continue to shoot whenever he gets in a scoring position.

 

[ORRFForever]

How do you ice the puck there?

Time out, please!

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

Canada's last four periods have just been horrendous.

The defensive problems have been there all tournament long though.

We looked good in period one tonight, didn't we?

Not like this, tho. Even against better teams.

Stank! Well deserved.

 

[jj cale]

Stankhoven........................it should be him.

 

[Cloned]

Now that line is being hemmed in again

Based on this huge one game sample size, I think it’s safe to say that McDavid will still be the best Connor in the NHL.

 

[snipes]

Stankoven finishes it with the empty netter.

He was great all game, easily Canada’s best player this game. Don’t think it’s particularly close either.

6-3 Canada

Ha, ha.

I don't think that was ever in doubt. Having said that, it's not a competition here, we just want Bedard to be as good as he can be to help the team win.

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

We looked good in period one tonight, didn't we?

Some of the first, I'd say.

But still, 4-2 aint great.

 

[Kcb12345]

Really nice outlet pass by Johnson there

 

[snipes]

25-0 now against Switzerland all time at the WJC for Canada

 

[jj cale]

What can I say about that game...............we got the job done?

 

[HabSgt]

This game has some stank on it in several different ways. 6-3

 

[ORRFForever]

True.

Well... That was torture. Closest 6-3 game I've seen in a LONG time.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Not a super impressive win but we'll take it. Not like the Swedes or Finns dominated in their games either. Think a lot of international hockey is just getting better. Very impressed with the Swiss tonight, as well as Latvia and Germany earlier today. To a man these teams played structured very competent hockey. Canada got a little fortunate this game imo.

I don't think you can expect as a Canadian to blow every team out up until the Semis anymore.

 

[Statsy]

Great game for Stankoven. Johnson solid tonight as well.

Switzerland played hard and deserve a ton of credit.
