Apricot Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Well then.... Nice shot though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Wow that was amazing, our defense looks like the German defense against us (Statue's). An amazing pass and a perfect shot through a screen, can't blame Subban for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marinated.pea Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Canadian D collapsed after that near-offside. That was a wicked shot though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sedated Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 So close to offside. But damn.. Slovakia with a sweet play for sure on that goal. Makes me cringe thinking of Canada playing even less defenseivly to catch up. Slovakia could feast unless Subban steps up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Should have picked Corrado, our defense has been terrible, and the way Corrado was playing in camp is the exact way Canada's defense needs to play and isn't playing, and that's why we are behind in this game, we are not skating at all.

Dragonfruits Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Funny how the defense was suppose to be our best asset and its coming apart I doubt Murray could fix this mess maybe corrado could (just kidding) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHL rocks Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Yeah me too, I like seeing underdog countries like this play well. Especially this Slovakia team, they are a bit on the small side but they play with a ton of jump, they aren't intimidated and work very hard. They deserve to be ahead in this game, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sedated Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I don't think the D was ever going to be the best asset. If anything the D got a bit of a pass because of how our Gs have been playing in recent history, but this year the D looked pretty bad to start. No idea why they picked so many offensive defensemen that can't really D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marinated.pea Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 We're in trouble I think. On top of cranking up the work ethic, they still have to beat Nagy, who is no Trautmann. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sedated Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Slovakia is good, they did manage to take Russia to OT. But.. Russia and USA are even better. An effort like this against one of them would really be embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortorella's Rant Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Well, they're backing up my statement thus far. You guys make some valid points, but I do feel previous years had better teams on ice and definitely on paper, obviously. I knew of all the players on those Tavares, Alzner, led teams, etc. Now, I only know of about half the team. Maybe I just paid more attention to junior hockey then, who knows.

Jaimito Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 subban looks fine so far, cant fault him on both goals. he'll need to be great to keep the team in it, until they wake up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

etsen3 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Time to quit trying to make the perfect play and get some pucks to the slot. What they're doing now may have worked against the Germans, who just stood around, giving the Canadians plenty of room, but it won't work now.

marinated.pea Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Canadians obviously rattled. They played whistle to whistle against the Germans, now frustration seems to be boiling over. Hopefully Spott gets some sense into the team, they can't win playing at 70%. Slovakia is doing too good of a job clogging up the neutral zone and the slot. Barely anything has gotten to Nagy, and they can't just dance around him like they did with Trautmann. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spliced Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 The Bad news is Canada is down 2-0. The good news is the tourney is on, no more easy boring hockey from here on out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
