hf101 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 With the Swiss beating Denmark Finland now finds itself in Relegation with Latvia. Which wouldn't necessarily be a major issue but... I guess they are Finnished... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluPuk Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I have no feel at all for this game. I know that if you lose this game, you are still in the tournament, so it's not win or go home. I wouldn't be surprised to see these two teams meet again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hf101 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 USA needs to clean up their play these penalties they are taking will haunt them. Just as I type that Canada scores to make it 2 - 1. Hopefully Meyers is ok. The hit didn't look that dirty as Kunin appeared to be just finishing his check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyercanuck Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Congrats on the US kids for playing a strong game. Greenway is a man against kids out there. Was really disappointed in Canada over the last 2 games. Sloppy play and mediocre goaltending. Better get their act together. They can win the next game playing as bad as they have...but they aren't beating Sweden or the US with that effort. Hopefully that loss wakes them the "eff" up. So do they go back to Hart? Ingram didn't do us any favors until it was too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluPuk Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 That about covers it flyercanuck.... The thing with the flag just made me howl. Looked like they were trying their hardest and the flag would just not co-operate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyercanuck Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Canada isn't going to medal unless one of these goalies decides to stop a couple of stoppable shots early in the game. Ingram seems to play well after he's let in a couple. I won't blame that first goal on anyone but the ref, but neither of these guys instills any confidence. Chabot is the best defenceman in the tournament. What a beast the Sens have to go with Karlsson. Jake Bean is a disaster out there. The rest of the D have their good and bad. Pretty average group for Canada...losing Myers really hurts. Strome hasn't done squat in 2 full games now. Great captain for Canada. Barzal thinks he can do it all...reminds me of Marner last year. Our bottom 6 has become our top 6 as far as being the best players out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jammer2 Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 A heartfelt CONGRATS to the USA for their advancing to the Gold Medal game. Despite my dislike the American hockey at the jr level, should Canada lose to the Swedes, I will cheer for the North American team with no hesitation. Just got home for work, wow that kid was WICKED in the shoot out....grace under pressure or what??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it just me, or is every single Strome kid overrated?? He has shown nothing. Offensive talent does not trump an undying will to win, at least from where I sit. How many great kids are sitting at home while some of these guys are living off their last name? Not that it will help, but if Ingram gives up anything questionable, he is gone quick.

jammer2 Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 O.M.G.....WTF was that??? I have seen ENOUGH!! GET INGRAM OUT while this game is still winnable!! Nice goal by Stephens....WOW, another goal let in by leaky!!! WOW THANK GOD, they HAD to switch to Hart....just HAD to. Well, on the bright side, a Flyers goalie prospect WILL be playing for Gold tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks AFF....I have not seen a ton of Hart in net, but I've noticed a few things in the limited time I have got to see him. When he is tracking the puck well, he seems very on....when he's off he seems to have more trouble tracking the puck. Also, when he's on, he eats up rebounds and rarely gives up a second opportunity, when he is not sharp the rebounds tend to fly out with more regularity. I just love his side to side quickness, and he gets up ridiculously quick ....like he just wishes himself up, tremendous footwork and skating. Give me a goalie with eltie quickness over one of those big lumbering Garth Snow types any day of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyercanuck Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 That was two really good games yesterday. It sucks they let a shootout decide the winner when the games are this important...I've seen Canada win and lose in a shootout, neither feels right to me. I don't see why they just don't play til there's a winner. Flyer fans got to see the future in net one way or the other with Sandstrom and Hart fighting an epic battle. After Ingram let in 2 goals on 3 shots Hart slammed the door shut on Sweden with 28 straight saves. Sandstrom made some absolutely brilliant saves at the other end, where Canada probably had four times as many quality scoring chances. I thought both goalies deserved player of the game. It was nice to see Strome finally do something...though I still think that top line is our worst. Jake Bean scares the crap out of me every time he's on the ice. Turnover machine. Pinches every single time. Kid has skill but needs a brain. Should be a good game tonight. If Canada plays like they did last night and they get good goaltending, nobodys beating them. But I've yet to see that consistency out of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluPuk Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 To be honest, I was really glad we stomped the Swedes. They can be bloody arrogant when they think they are going to win. Did you see the Swedish brain trust in the stands looking all noses in the air, there to be witness to the dismantling of Canada? Mwahahahahaha. Kudos to Canada's coach for his statements before the game. A very sly fellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
