[Glenn Isildur Healy]

Am I the only one that's way more excited for Johnson than Gauthier?

 

[Quarter]

THEY'RE LOSING

 

[Cor]

Wow.... what a play!

Sam Reinhart ties it on the PP, assists to Bo Horvat and Connor McDavid

 

[Cor]

Radek Faksa and Scott Laughton both go off for Roughing.

4 on 4 hockey

 

[BertCorbeau]

Canada is outplaying them though .. The Czech's are lucky to be tied at the moment

You shouldn't be. A small player performing on the big ice. His skill is not in question, but it will definately be an uphill battle for him to become any type of impact player in the NHL. I've see smallish players succeed overseas only to fizzle out on the smaller ice wayyy too many times to get crazy about success in the SHL and WJC.

 

[BertCorbeau]

AJ's got to become a better skater and get stronger on his skates to become a quality NHLer ... Good to see that he's showing some offensive abilities

Not particularly flashy by any means, but he's got great net presence and is showing an ability to put the puck in around the net

 

[Semantics]

Gauthier just fell on his own like 3 times on one shift... he'll be a perfect fit on a luge line with Raymond and Clarkson.

 

[TheLeastOfTheBunch]

Why was Finn and Brown left off this team?

Canada has no finish and their defence isn't good (Ekblad, Dumba, etc)

 

[ULF_55]

Plutnar is in trouble...

How do you call that one?

Abuse of official? How many minutes?

Of course shooting the puck after the horn is likely 2 minutes unsportsmanlike penalty.

 

[Peasy]

This team does not look good other than McDavid and Reinhart...

Dumb move by the Czech player taking out the official, wouldnt be surprised if he got suspended.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Leier gets on the team because of his play for the first half of this season but Brown does not?

Canada is getting exposed for it's lack of finishers in this game

 

[Cor]

Completely stupid move by the Czech player. What was the point of that?

He's 5'10. Hardly a midget.

 

[7even]

Lol what just happened

 

[GTA]

He's 5'10. Hardly a midget.

When the average nhler is 6'1 and over 200 pounds, he is.

 

[Cor]

We went from having a PP to being 4-on-4 to being down 3-2 in a span of 5 seconds

 

[thewave]

This Canadian team sucks, McDavid doesn't look special at all

 

[Peasy]

What a play by Lazar.

 

[Peasy]

Lol this game.

 

[Cor]

EVERYTHING IS HAPPENING - Bob Cole

 

[thewave]

This is some terrible team Canada

 

[Mikeyg]
