Still think Canada takes home the gold. We've been tested early. We've faced adversity. We are too talented to just roll over and die. Time to string 4 wins together starting NYE and bring home Gold!

 

[VanillaCoke]

Playing the USA again....

 

[thepuckmonster]

Playing the USA again....

No, I just listed the rosters for the teams our prospects are on.

 

[VanillaCoke]

That makes more sense, I was half through posting the schedule, I was pretty sure it wasn't USA next

 

[66Sniper]

I like USA this year. More complete team.

Yeah my bad dude, I put a GDT prefix.

 

[Addison Rae]

Canada will find a wat

Canada will find a wat

Hope so, doesn't feel like q cohesive team right now.

 

[thepuckmonster]

Part of me wonders if Olsen might have an outside chance at getting a camp invite next season if he continues he's exemplary play through the rest of this year and next.

The crop of defensemen available next year isn't stellar and they might look at some later round guys who are blowing it out of the water. Chabot is the only defenseman this year eligible to return next year.

 

[vancityluongo]

Just watched the re-run of the game.

First two periods the play died on Virtanen's stick every time. Third period was a lot better and needs to be how he plays for the rest of the tournament.

 

[DFAC]

Said it before, not a fan of how this TC is built. Too small down the middle

I don't think they will even medal but I'd love for them to prove me wrong

 

[vancityluongo]

The centers are the least of their worries. Barzal has been the most pleasant surprise on the team, Strome has been the best player every game, and Point has been terrific for the most part. Even Stephens has quietly done his job, as has Beauvillier when playing in the middle.

Problem is with the top-6 wings (minus Marner who IMO is getting unfairly criticized) and the weak defense. John Quenneville has done very little thus far, Perlini is merely okay in flashes and we all know how Jake has been. Crouse has probably been the most effective winger thus far...

And the defense just isn't that good. No way of sugarcoating it.

 

[a Fool]

Boeser has been a very nice complimentary piece for USA through 2 games. Taking advantage of DeBrincat's bad luck, Boeser found himself on the top line beside Matthews and Tkachuk for most of the time so far. He's looked better than DeBrincat and Milano up there as well, though the other two have had less time. Haven't seen the big shot yet, aside from a few looks on the PP, but he's been excellent in keeping the play alive, working the boards, and being responsible defensively. Easy to see why USA would throw him up on the top line without hesitation. No production yet, but it'll come if he keeps playing like this. Made a really nice Sedin-like tip from the slot on a feed from Matthews. If only we could add him to our pool as well...

Jake on the other hand needs to channel that good 3rd period into the next game. Very disappointing tourney so far. However, he started getting some scoring chances and causing problems around the net near the end vs. Switzerland. Needs to step up and help Strome carry the team.

It doesnt look like a team canada on the ice.
Im thibking theyll win the bronze atleast.

 

[VanillaCoke]

Going for a 4-3 Switzerland win, with Brock scoring a hat trick though....

 

[banme*]

Mathews is sick but he almost looks like he doesn't give a single **** about playing right now.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

USA showing no mercy.

 

[thepuckmonster]

Werenski is so good I'm so jealous

 

[VanillaCoke]

Mathews is sick but he almost looks like he doesn't give a single **** about playing right now.

He looks like this is too easy, like he's playing his little brothers friends and is just being nice.

 

[Baby Pettersson]

Boeser may not have scored... Yet. But I really enjoy watching him play. He is just really solid at everything he does.

 

[Knight53]

Puljujarvi and Laine

 

[Knight53]

Lol all these easy goals by USA, and the Swiss goalie decides to rob Boeser.

 

[VanillaCoke]

Feels bad Switzerland has to play 45 more minutes of this.
