They're playing like ****, but they actually have the roster to medal. Did you mean their worst tournament ever? They didn't even medal last year.

Which year was canadas best team in the last 10 years

Latvia has been noturiously bad theyve never had a medal. They actually won games last year.

Canada always chokes at WJC.

Bedard was the only one that really stuck out to me for Canada

The backup for team Canada made an incredible toe and paddle save he should be the starter

He played well too.

2020

Best of the 2000's era 2005

We've won 2 golds and a silver in the past 3 years... how do we choke?

35 min in penalties and sub par goaltending 🤷‍♂️


This is still a very dominant team

David Jiricek is a beast.
Can't believe Fluers passed on him.

Gauthier still is a pretty good Pick, and Philly lacks a true top line caliber player.

I think their Hope is

Provorov - DeAngelo
Sanheim - York
Zamula - Attard

Will work once their is a good Offensive structure

Joakin Kemell is a specimen

Truth. Lambert is great too

Last year Hirvonen-Raty-Kemell was arguably one of if not the best line seen at last years WJC

To bad for the age rule as his buds would probs be with him again and they would be lighting it up

I agree they were really fun to watch.

To sum up yesterdays game

It was basically Skill vs. Old School

Czechs played the physical tight game system while Canada was just trying for Michigan's left and right on top of offense and forgot everything else

Torts probs looks at that game and goes see I was right lul. Also didnt help goaltending was ass cheeks. But hey the backup to me earned the starting job so lets see if they get their act together now

Germany w/ some awesome grade-A chances; BUT it's 1-0 Sweden late...

Many are saying that Odelius is the next Jonas brodin

Why, its too bad that those people are gravely wrong.
Do you still think Dufor is the next Pastarnak?

This is the 2023 WJC thread. Let’s keep this about this years players.

After watching Finland's two games I can only hope they can keep up this positive trajectory. They were ghastly against Switzerland, and decent against Slovakia. They had their moments that looked really promising (especially the start to the game), and then they regressed right back into being total sh*t the next moment. It feels like it's all about confidence and momentum with this bunch...very unpredictable.

Next game is against Latvia iirc, and I gotta admit I've never been more scared to watch Finland face them as I am now, cuz Latvia has actually looked good this time out. They gave USA run for their money, and are also giving a proper challenge to Switzerland now...you know, the team that just beat us...

That being said, I'm relatively confident that if the team can keep learning from their mistakes and become better after each game, I think we can haul those much needed points home. The most important thing is to keep up the upward, positive trajectory, at least result wise.

If we can manage that, maybe Finland's gonna be the Argentina of this tournament. That's something I'm certainly wishing for lol.

Both looked amazing at the game, and even during the warmups.

I love how you dodge the question and then send out a video of him doing the thing that made you say he'll be a pastarnak.

How's Adam Engstrom doing?

Ask some Swede
