The rebound from Mesar at this year's tournament is insane.

Yeah he had a good tournament. Too bad Slovakia’s out. They played really well.

wow

That’s such a bad bounce lol, feel bad for Rousseau he could do nothing about that and it’s no one’s fault there

Pretty shocking result. The fact that they were even in a 2-2 tie that late was the bigger issue; feel really bad for Bonk and Rousseau on that play.

USA out to an early lead vs Latvia and already looking like it will be a mismatch as Latvia is struggling to keep the US transition game and speed at bay.

Here lies Canada. Rip.

Don't think many people are surprised. Canada was clearly weak bringing their "C" team and a ****ty coach who isn't even good in the CHL. They beat 0 competitive teams this year.

Hrabal was great....CAN shot total wasn't super high (30 shots, 28 saves). But if you look at the shot chart...especially in 3rd period....there were many in close.

You can find it under "Shot Chart" on the Game Summary page

All Minten's fault. Dude was a tirefire and a Leaf captain, not surprised we're out in the first round.

Blaming Minten means you have to be joking

Lul no

The main thing was last year we saw the flaws of Canada but they had Bedard to carry them out of it

What we learned this year Celebrini aint that guy who can over carry

Than the Defense and PK were pretty bad

Also can see why the goalie was never drafted Swiss Cheese

No, well sort of. He played 1st line minutes all tournament long and had 3 points in 5 games. Our best line was our 4th line (who had the Habs prospect on it). Them + Celebrini were our bright spots this year. Team had no chemistry and had a **** quality CHL coach to boot. Can't win with all of those factors.

Owen Allard, Macklin Celbrini, Lameureux and Warren were our bright spots...

Our biggest disappointments: goaltending - especially vs Germany, Poitras and Beck

Everyone else wasn't stunning but not horrible either

Well Minten did play bad, that’s not a question, blaming 1 player for the exit is a bit much though.



I’m sorry but Mathis Rousseau played well, he’s probably put himself on the radar of NHL teams with his performance

Nothing went in for him... Heck, even the empty net vs Germany, somehow hit a stick... He generated chances, everyone loved him off ice and he was a mainstay on the PK... Something the Leafs didn't see in the season

Well he did let in some stinkers I will say that. Maybe not Swiss cheese but also not the greatest. Maybe someone will take a flyer

But yea this TC as a whole had a lot of issues and no Bedard factor

PK especially as man I think ever team got one or two PP goals on us lul

I laugh how you threw Beck in the disappointments just because he's a Habs fan. Best FO% in the entire tournament and was on the best play driving line on Team Canada. He did his job.

Habs fan? More like pass the dam puck... And stop giving up lazy turnovers in the Dzone

He did pass, and transition. He was bad in the defensive zone, but there were 0 players who were good. He was expected to be our 4th line defensive center and excelled. Minten was supposed to provide offense, and I'd be surprised if he created 1 good scoring chance while playing any of the competitive teams.

Not usually... I couldn't count how many blue line turnovers he had by refusing to feed the wings...

And Beck was supposed to be the 2nd line centre... But he got moved to 4rth line bc he wasn't providing a lot...

Instead the coach decided he should play Minten on the 1st line and we didn't even medal....

On 2 fluke goals and our 4rth line not playing well

Good call guys

violation

It's literally 1 game eliminations, anything can happen. That's what makes the tournament so great.
