ParticipantI think Canada played well, maybe goaltender could be a bit better.
From the other side is good that hockey developing in Europe as hockey geography is not that big.
It is vital to have some competition with European teams and not having US and Canada in the final speaks the volumes.Canada is always accustomed to steamrolling teams and when the games get tight, they need their star players to be the difference makers. McKenna, Misa, these guys didn’t step up. They should have led the team in scoring but didn’t. That’s the difference in these junior tournaments.

The goal where it was 1 on 3 and the opponent just walked through and roofed it was horrible Defensive play.
Canada also had no puck luck at all really – they hit what 5 or more posts? That one Canadian kid hit like 3 himself.
That game could easily have been a Canada win.[/quote]
Yes, it was close game and could go either way.
But it was exciting hockey game regardless.-

ParticipantJust one account here, thank you for replying and by doing so answering my question as to if you are retarded.
It’s clear you are a fucking retard of the highest degree the way you behave on here.
Congrats on that.
As far as 8 accounts – ya that guy is a retard too.
Sure, sure. Learn to use the quote button retard. Or should I just call you Tim Walz? Would that make you feel better snowflake?

ParticipantIt is 3 times in a row, but have to give Czech the credit, they are very scrappy team
and fighting hard for every inch of the ice.
Having the greatest beer in the World probably helps too.Canada is always handicapped by not having it’s absolute best players because they stay in the NHL.
However, Misa and McKenna did not play at a high enough level. Iginla, Parekh, Martone, these guys showed up and scored big goals. But they didn’t get enough from Misa and McKenna. Canadian goalies still can’t steal games. The defenders allowed too many chances. Danford didn’t look that great.

ParticipantAgreed. If an OT can kill a team for a season it should be nothing more than a game ended by a goal.
OT should be 10 minutes 5 on 5. No 4 on 4. No 3 on 3. No shootout. Games end in ties.
For playoff or tournaments, the game goes 5 on 5 until somebody wins.
End of story.

ParticipantI have been lurking here for quite some time as a long time HB user looking for a new place to see some great hockey talk.
I thought this place would be better than Hockey Buzz which is totally fucked now (not that it wasn’t before but at least there was SOME moderation there before the big ‘upgrade’ that was a steaming pile of dog shit) but sadly I was wrong this place feels like it’s worse that HB in some ways.
I figured the Leaf forum would be where most of the conversation was like at HB and I was right but holy shit I feel bad for the Leaf fans who come here and actually want to talk hockey because it sure seems like there is the one fucking moron who just comes here daily to shit on everyone and anything Leafs and calls people retards non-stop.
I see it happening again today.
What the fuck is wrong with him? Is he actually retarded or something?
