2016 World Junior Championship Pool

[Axeman33]

Canada needs to stay out of the box and Blackwood needs to make the big saves.

Canada needs to stay out of the box and Blackwood needs to make the big saves.

Pretty well sums up their WJC game plan for every year.

[Axeman33]

Pretty much, and yet they cant seem to stay out of the box and take stupid penalties.

[Shift Disturber]

That seems to happen in the years in which they are not successful. Strome's stupid penalty and his antics afterward are an apt encapsulation of their tournament so far.

Too many passengers on this team. Blackwood and Chabot are terrible today. Pointe is very underwhelming. Perlini and Virtanen are net negatives.

[Big Ev]

Would you like to return to our discussion where you said Canada never loses because of their goaltending? lol

Canada cannot win with marginal goaltending.

Game turned when Finland's goalie was pulled, and they put in a guy that can make a save...

Nope because the game is tied and as I said it's irrelevant who is in net for Canada. They won't win or lose because of goalies.

It's hard.when you have to cover for Hicketts reckless play

Both Hicketts and Chabot are. Playing the toughest minutes by far against the big line. They are Canada's rock on the back end this game

[Shift Disturber]

Can't help but think that if the Canadian player did the boarding it would be five and a game for him.

[Godin]

Nicely played by Strome, but the ref's got it right. 2 minutes for boarding.

[Big Ev]

Virtanen should have stayed in the ahl

[Nights]

I may be biased (confirmation bias as a Leafs fan), but I think Dermott's been pretty good this game. Chabot has been too. Hickey and Fleury have had forgettable games, at best.

EDIT : Oh, and if anyone cares, I have standings updated after the RUS and SWE wins, yet to touch the CAN-FIN game. Standings are in the spoiler.

[Big Ev]

Marner has been good after a very bad tournament. He'd be way better on small ice

[Big Ev]

That's for all the tsn suits who can't stop fondling Hicketts D

[Loch]

God that was dumb by Marner.

[Big Ev]

That was dumb but the reffing is pretty atrocious. He barely tapped the fin

[Nights]

God that was dumb by Marner.

Sticking with the Dumb Penalty policy the Canadians are following this game.
