U18: Team Canada

[CutOnDime97]

Canada's era at the top of the hockey world seems to be over. First Finland overtook them and now Sweden seems to be following

You know they've won back to back WJCs right?

 

[Eternal Leaf]

Bad performance but good to deal with it earlier in the tournament.

Lol sure ok cuz 1 game at an under 18 tournament proves that

Sorry, success of the national teams are based on games played, not imagination.

2022 Olympic gold winners .

Reigning World Champions, 2 of the last 3.

Can't deny facts

Aren't you the guy who makes daily threads about Sweden being worse at hockey than East Timor?

If you want to console yourself with Finland’s C team beating Canada’s F team at the Skoda tournament, go ahead. Canada has won the last three best on best tournaments and as far as I’m considered that’s the most relevant determinant for best country in the world

Canada was surely dominating between 2010-2016, 7-13 years ago. Is Blackhawks still the best team in NHL because their wins are from the same time period? Unfortunately, nothing lasts forever. Let the results speak.

God, having to listen to these morons after a loss is tough to take but it's one of the prices for being the top dog.

Everyone wants to needle you because they aren't you and wish they could be.

 

[Mainiac]

On the good news front, any worries about over-confidence can be discarded.

 

[Dominance]

I caught most of the last half of the game, and I take solace in that it’s utterly impossible for us to come close to replicating that performance. Nobody was skating and the puck play was dreadful to a truly ludicrous degree - we couldn’t make a single clean pass, not one. Doesn’t mean anything and I’ll take the early slap in the face to be sure the team will be alive going forward.

As an aside - you’re never going to make a game competitive after your starting goalie makes 2 saves on his first 7 shots. I didn’t see Bjarnason play today, and he’s an excellent goalie who will probably be the first off the draft board this year, but there’s just no way as a player you’re going to be working hard and fully engaged when you get stuck in that kind of hole.

funny guy

 

[lilidk]

Didn't watch game. Do you guys think lines needs to get changed. Wonder about Wood , play 3rd line wing, I was hoping he is center

 

[Eye of Ra]

Aren't you the guy who makes daily threads about Sweden being worse at hockey than East Timor?

I never said that. I said Sweden is on the way to become worse than Germany, Switzerland, Belarus etc.

Are you not the guy who said Erik Karlsson and Rasmus Dahlin are the worst Ds in the entire NHL?

Whatever nation meets Canada next i feel sorry for, the canadian boys are angry.

 

[PecnoTrunk]

I know nothing about this Canadian team but I guess the posters who said this was the best team Canada has ever fielded know less then me

Oh brother

Oh brother

Crag Button said this is very strong team with a lot of leadership

 

[wetcoast]

Exactly I expect these players to be embarrassed and bring a much better effort throughout the tournament.

Maybe i was right that both OHL and WHL are shit this season?
strange that no QMJHL players... probably should have picked

 

[FourQuarters]

Howe injured? I didn't see him a lot tonight, just few shifts.
