This board needs a “DOWN” button for these kind of post...LOL
That’s what annoys me the most. There are some blatantly BAD roster decisions made every year, it feels like it always costs the team. Canada is no longer at the point where we can afford to bench our best players or leave them off the team. This can also be extended to the coaching staff selections.
After watching each of these games today, that while I wish he got to keep playing, Rasmus Sandin is just as good of a defensive prospect as there is out there.
So smart and effective, probably even more so than high pick guys like Bouchard and Dobson.

Not if the Susie make it...they’ll have quotes from their coach and promote them hard ....which would be a fun story

Could have used one of those 14 goals against the Danes tonight.

We'll see but I don't think fans will care enough just to tune in because of his quotes. It's one thing to enjoy them watching highlights, another to take time out of your day to watch them.
I think it will take a huge hit.

I truly believe that the IIHF has a backroom deal with Hockey Canada to dumb down Team Canada so that we don't dominate the tournament year after year.
It is mind boggling how some players are left off the team every year that should be on the team.
This year, our D were not as strong as they could have been IMHO.

We sure could have! Just one would likely have been enough. This game ends 2-1 Canada.

To be fair... in other years Lafraniere would have been sent home at camp, and we would be complaining now we didnt pick him. But Hunter did pick him and he ended up where he belonged - limited minutes.
To me our D pool just wasnt very good, and moreseo than the NHL guys, not having Formenton and Villardi hurt.

those idiot Eurotrash players won through emphasizing soccer - based spatial awareness
"It is not a children's tournament, but it is irresponsible on your part to live vicariously through 18 year olds," is what I would say if I was paid to be a talker
There is ok skill on that Canadian team. But we need to lose the jingoistic ugly Canadian thing and get out of this hyper- nationalistic darkness.
I know the TV networks kind of go Super Bowl Sunday on this thing, but we turn into fart catchers when we question the goalie about his blocker

Would’ve been Marner trashing levels bad even though he was one of Canada’s best players in 2015

Scott has had a better season...
Also, both of todays goals could have (and probably should have) been stopped. ** Disclaimer - I did not watch most of today's game, so cannot judge further than that **

DiPietro was a great goalie. Unfortunately, the rest of Canada got outplayed handily. Lousy offense and coaching is a great way to lose

Don't agree Scott has had a better season?
1st goal, he was not in a great position, too deep in the net. Should have made himself 'bigger'.
2nd goal, he didn't react to the shot in time.... its not like the shot was a laser at all.
A bigger goaltender likely would have stopped both shots...
Uhhmmm
I would rather get a Habs tattoo on each side of cheeks, ride a bike with no seat over a bumpy dirt road, and brush my teeth with a razor blade while having raw chili peppers shoved up my nose.....
