[MNDevilsfan]

at least a lot of the hate is going to virtanen - they HATE this kid

He's been getting killed on the main board all tournament...they're going ballistic right now.

 

[Oneiro]

Marner is a special kid.

 

[Devils Dominion]

Blackwood is Wedgewooding this tourney.

 

[OmNomNom]

i love hw canadian fans like to discredit blackwood more than give credit to laine. that was a rocket

 

[Oneiro]

Canadian fans are right to be pissed at Lowry. They are a poorly coached team.

Also, Dylan Strome - what a little *****.

 

[JimEIV]

Does anyone know the last time Canada didn't make it out of the prelims?

 

[Oneiro]

17 years ago.

 

[DerekDevils30]

I am just going to stay away from the WJC Canadian threads. A bunch of people just ripping into teenagers like they killed someone. It's embarrassing.

You don't make it out of the round robin that's more than coaching that is a deficit of talent and or motivation.

Be interesting to do a where are are they now 6 or 7 years from now with this Canadian team....betcha as a whole it doesn't bode well.

 

[EnglishDevil]

Blackwood didn't have a great game by any means, but the team in front of him were completely undisciplined and played extremely poorly in general, they certainly didn't make his life any easier.

Its good to see some of Canadian fans are calling out the *******s in that thread. My god I thought a Devils Rangers game was bad enough with the Jekyll & Hyde BS.

Not if they stay in Canada.

This has been a really disappointing tournament for the players I was really looking forward to watching. Oviously things didn't go as planned for Blackwood and Zacha. On top of that, Alex Debrincat looks like he might end up as the best player to ever come out of the prep school program I played for back in the day and he's barely played at all with the ejection and injury.

 

[JimEIV]

Zacha has been invisible.

Edit:
Who'd a thought Queeneville would be our best player in this tournament.

Lets not just pretend its just Zacha here. The entire team has failed to show up. With Zacha you can see the skill/talent...The team looks like it doesn't even want to be there.

Props to U.S.A. for dominating so far. 4-0 USA. Hope we can win the lottery and draft Matthews or the 2 from Finland...they are game changing forwards

I'm not really pointing a finger at Zacha, I was just hoping to see some level of dominate performance and I really haven't seen anything from him in the couple of games I watched.

Maybe nursing an injury still, I don't know?

 

[Oneiro]

I could see a golden age of Finnish hockey coming up.

He did have an adductor injury, not really the best injury to have as a hockey player either.

 

[JimEIV]

My goodness Matthews.

 

[Blender]

He's playing injured.

 

[JimEIV]

He's playing injured.

Strange that they are using him on the PK then.

 

[Comparison Ford]

Strange that they are using him on the PK then.

My thought was they had him there because they want to maybe get some goals from any line at all. He definitely looks injured to me.

 

[Blender]

Strange that they are using him on the PK then.

He missed 2 games I think, maybe one and part of another, I don't remember. He is clearly missing the explosiveness you typically see from him.

The injury doesn't effect his positioning and size though, so why wouldn't you still use him on the penalty kill?

 

[JimEIV]

Milano is softer than butter. Gets knocked of the puck way too easy for this level.

 

[Devils Dominion]

The American goalie is for real, a Carolina pick I think.
