Czech playing much harder and tougher, they're winning the tough battles in the offensive zone and grinding hard, these Canadian kids are just trying to use their skill and it's not working - they need to try and outwork the other team. Bedard's play so far sums it up - he's been terrible. Seeing the same thing we see with McDavid - all flash, lovely skill but no hard gritty work and what a pathetic way to get out of the shooting lane and allow a goal. You don't win in the playoffs with guys like that. Like what I've seen from Fantilli more so far to be honest but no one has been very good for Canada.

 

Fair play to the Czechs, they deserve the lead and their defencemen are really shining.

Yup.  Bedard is great with puck on stick.  But how much of his on ice time does he have the puck? 10%?  Got to play as hard without the puck.  And even harder to get it back.

Just now, Down by the River said:

What percent of Michigan attempts actually work? 

Very low percentage play.

 

Theres a reason why Hoglander doesn’t even attempt it in the NHL. Defenders and goalies are too aware of it now.


Not to mention coaches are gonna rip you a new one if you pass up a passing opportunity in front to try and hot dog it.
