5forFighting Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I am not sure who put this team together but it was an atrocity from the get-go. When you don't compete for Gold at the WJC then the entire group should be replaced. We are the USA men's basketball of hockey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only reason he played some NHL games was because that overrated Leafs team is desperate for cheap contracts. He's a decent prospect, but c'mon, Captain? Ya I’m not a fan of how the team was constructed nor am I a fan of how they choose players.. most teams sent all their top scorers to the tournament while we sent a couple while filling prioritizing size and grit over skill and talent. Heck I would have just sent all the top scorers and just let them go at teams in waves of attack and maybe just have a 4th line with more size and grit 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two weak goals to start this game. 100% both those were on him. But even so, a good Canadian club (which this one was clearly not) would have put at least five up against the Check team. All in all, this was obviously a down year of guys to choose from. Celebrini might be the only legit NHLer on that roster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 It's werid that this disappointment doesn't seem like disappointment. This wasn't the star-studded Canada that was expected to win gold, so it's almost like a half-expected result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Long Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 1 hour ago, Master Mind said: All good, I understand emotions can run high right after a game, so I appreciate the follow up. I'm sure it can appear antagonistic to be one of, if not the lone person hoping for a Canada loss today. I'd have wanted Canada to win if they had matched up against the US or Finland, but Czechia and Slovakia are who I cheer for in these tournaments. It's ok to cheer for who you want to. It's a prospects tournament so I cheer for Canucks prospects. I cheer for Canada in the Olympics, even in years where it's full of non-canucks players who I hate on other teams. That's why 2010 was so great. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think until all the details are admitted and out in the open, Team Canada is fucked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
