Nice 4-2 victory over Sweden. Boys scored 3 in the 3rd. for a solid come back. Ritchie, and Cowan, were outstanding.

Canada play a pretty solid game against a big strong Czechia club. Czechia goalie was out outstanding. Nice 3-2 victory.

Good team effort and quite agree that the opposition goalie was truly great

Well let's see what we got going here.

Pigskin · December 27, 2024, 03:08:25 AM

Nice win for Canada. PP needs a little work, but the boys looked pretty solid.

DCM · December 27, 2024, 03:08:36 AM

Nice opening 4-0 win over Finland. Latvia tomorrow.

Jockitch · December 28, 2024, 03:10:37 AM

Stunning loss by Canada to Latvia, of all teams
Latvias goalie was terrific to virtually sensational

Jesse · December 28, 2024, 12:03:06 PM

That was embarrassing.

These were the kind of match-ups we used to be scoring in the double digits.

Pigskin · December 28, 2024, 05:54:51 PM

Canada with 56 shots. Lat also blocked 37 shots, and 8 shootout attempts. Just not enough goal scoring. Not enough bodies in front of there net. A bunch of stupid penalties. This has to be a wakeup call for this team. PP did look better, but still has some work to do. The 3 on 3 in OT was all over the map. They should look at the Jets or Oilers 3 on 3 video.

Jockitch · December 28, 2024, 08:10:13 PM

Tend to feel after watching the 2 pre tournament and now these
first two that their is sparse cohesion in the bottom 3 lines, despite pouring on the shots.
Basically what I'm saying .....is the finish is being choked by players still trying to invent the cute play
Regardless, do hope the lines get fixed and really do wish
our young budding star Yager can start filling the net

Pigskin · December 28, 2024, 09:40:15 PM

Canada has lost Schaefer for the rest of the tournament. Canada has take the most penalties in the tournament which is 12.

Pigskin · December 30, 2024, 04:12:06 AM

The boy's are having a hard time finding the back of the net. There also still taking to many penalties.

After a pretty convincing win over Finland, the last two games have been forgettable. I still can't believe they lost to Latvia.

Can't say much about the offense thus far. They struggle to finish plays and they pass too much at times. Defensively, this team looks sound and George is one heck of a goalie.

Tomorrow's tilt vs. the US should be a gooder.
