Is Cameron seriously still loading up the PP in a 9-1 game?

He won’t be happy unless MacTavish has 10

Why not?

Greig is no longer on the bench I believe. Roy took his spot on the 3rd line.

 

[MichaelFarrell]

With how many LHD Canada has, I’m shocked Brandt Clarke didn’t make this team.

I really want to see Stankoven make a play. He’s got a lot of hype but I really haven’t noticed him.

Just had a nice pass to Bedard. Had a nice play earlier to Johnson too who missed an open net

He has been unusually passive though. Usually he's the guy with the puck on his stick but he has been deferring a lot. His line with Johnson and Foerster has no chemistry whatsoever though. He seems to be playing the bumper/net front position a lot which is unusual for him too, and they don't seem to use the players who go there

So you don't actually care how competitive the team is, you care how good players who are about to turn 50 were. Interesting.

Except that they are still producing talent including the top 2 picks in the 2022 draft.

Fact is Slovakia has a proven hockey program that has consistently produced talent for decades they belong because they have proven they have proven they belong 1 bad beating doesn't change that.

Latvia hasn't proven anything for decades they don't belong

 

[Mikeshane]

Greig has made a number of bad turnovers this game.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Greig has made a number of bad turnovers this game.

He hasn't played at all in the 3rd?

They don’t need or want him there. Whatever the reasoning is it’s clear they don’t miss him

I think Canada is doing the right here by going for 10. Slovakia has been taking cheap shots all game and played dirty and uncontrolled. I say embarrass them on the ice, which is exactly what is happening.

So, once again, you don't actually care how competitive the team on the ice is, you just care about some trivial judgment call of "belonging". Sound logic. Except for one thing.

Who's #11 for Slovakia? Can't find a roster list with jersey numbers.

I swear, if some posters had their way, the "world juniors" would be a seven-game series between Canada and Russia every year or something, and every other country would get kicked out.

[CoSi]

Roy is allowed the puck on this line

 

[GermanSpitfire]

There is Roy’s goal. He has played much better away from Bedard.

Nice Cross on the fan.

I like the sportsmanship by Ostapchuk after crashing into the Goalie & giving him a tap to apologize.

 

[Summer Rose]

#7 on Slovakia just stopped skating completely on that goal. He let Roy right by him.

I can't imagine who would really want that. Russia is by no means a hands-down top team year over year. Look at Finland, Sweden and USA who don't take a back seat to Russia at all when it comes to what I think of as consistently high quality Junior programs.
Maybe I just don't get the gist of your comment.

I'm passive-aggressively commenting on the argument about whether Latvia belongs at the tournament or not.
