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.....

 

[Drew311]

Well, ya gotta be able to score. Team Canada should never be this offensively impotent. Guess they used up all of their goals against the Danes.

Lots of fast players with no hands, playmaking ability or finish. The worst Canadian world juniors squad I can remember.

 

[Pyromaniac]

I have no issue with DiPietro. I thought he played quite well. My issue is with our mediocre coach who did not even give Scott a fair shot at the net.

Tim Hunter was promoted by Ron Wilson. Thats a red flag right there.

Name one thing the coach did wrong

 

[Kelly]

Name one thing the coach did wrong

Comtois taking the PS, Veleno barely seeing the ice, no chemistry within any of our lines, failure to ignite the Canadian offense.

I agree with you about Dipietro, dude was literally the last of our problems, and was a big reason tonight's game was close... But Hunter wasn't good.

We're Canada, we shouldn't be out in the first round -- a lot of that blame should fall on to the Head Coach and management who selected that roster.

He’s half Mexican.....

we will start with your first opinion, how do you know Comtois wasn't the best choice at the time, explain it in detail to me

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 **

Who's to say DiPietro didn't have a better camp? Obviously I would've loved to see Scott get the nod but complaining about it when the other guy played well just sounds like sour grapes.

Because Glass, Frost, Suzuki are all on the roster, all clearly more talented offensively than he is.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

also to your point, Frost didn't even play in overtime despite being the leading scorer for Canada. he refused to lean on the best offensive players, even though Canada had an extremely obvious problem scoring goals

 

[Mr Hockey]

Who is the leading "goal" scorer on the team?

 

[Kelly]

Who is the leading "goal" scorer on the team?

If Hunter picked Comtois because he has one extra goal over Frost in a sample size of 4 games than that kinda proves my point.

He didn't, because that's dumb. Probably went to him because he's the captain, which is also dumb.

 

[Mr Hockey]

If Hunter picked Comtois because he has one extra goal over Frost in a sample size of 4 games than you're kinda proving my point.

those 3 players you mention combined have 1 more goal than Comtois

 

[ULF_55]

Sweden out.
Canada out.

That puts several free hours into my week.

I'm out.

 

[Kelly]

those 3 players you mention combined have 1 more goal than Comtois

You kinda just ignored my point and kept talking eh

 

[Mr Hockey]

I think the USA wins it

 

[Advanced stats]

Uhhmmm

That's disgusting. Do you cheer for Montreal or Boston after Toronto is (hypothetically) eliminated as well?

 

[Mr Hockey]

You kinda just ignored my point and kept talking eh

what's your point, you would have let Suskie take it and he has zero goals in the tourney over the captain who has 5 goals in the tourney and has 7 points in 10 NHL games this season?

 

[Schenn]

those 3 players you mention combined have 1 more goal than Comtois

If you can't see that Comtois isn't the best option for a penalty shot at this level, then I seriously question your ability to spot talent.

First choice definitely would of been Glass or Frost, but Suzuki would've been better than Comtois... f*** I would've rather seen Bouchard take it lol.

10 game sample sizes, 4 game sample sizes -- the afformentioned players are more notable prospects, and have out performed Comtois in junior in MUCH larger sample sizes.

It's fine, Hunter made his choice, I and plenty others don't agree with it.

I'm done with you, have a good one .

 

[HamiltonNHL]

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

Cherry called it.

Bad karma to score 14.

Well I am both a Canadian and American citizen...

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Glass

the winning goal went off his stick
