TrueBlue4ever Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 16 minutes ago, Mr Dee said: The Germans were forced to play short-handed and 2 nights in a row. That’s on the WJH org. But if ever there was a chance to try different line combinations, this was it. There is no sportsmanship in a game like that. According to TSN, the Germans were given the option of rescheduling their initial games once the COVID outbreak hit. They chose to keep the games as they were. The rationale was that they were going to lose these 2 games anyway, so the scores don’t matter, and they would rather get their full compliment back for the games that matter to them against the Swiss and the Slovaks to try and crack the playoffs. 3 minutes ago, BomberBall said: I heard the Germans had an opportunity to tweak their schedule and opted not to. They knew their first 2 games were likely loses, regardless. I have no idea what you mean by ‘no sportsmanship in a game like that’. What would you have team Canada do? Let up and risk injury? If they won 8-2, would that make you feel better? Because if either German goalie could make a few routine saves or not cough the puck up, that may have happened. I just don’t get this narrative that the Canadians did anything unsportsmanlike. It’s ridiculous. I was literally typing my response at the same time. You are just faster on the send button. 🤣 BomberBall 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s ridiculous. I didn’t say the Canadians intentionally did anything unsportsmanlike, but a game like that does not promote sportsmanship. But if you guys didn’t mind that slaughter...so be it.

Noeller Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 What exactly would people have Canada or the IIHF do differently to prevent what happened last night? Honest question... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebusrankin Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 What can you do in a situation like this in a hockey game? In football, you can do what TB did yesterday and sit guys for a half. Same thing in basketball, you empty the bench. Mr Dee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest question... They could have played with 4 players instead of 5 Seriously though the CDN coach clearly not tell the players to let up. It's on him.

Brandon Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 Instead of crapping on the team, why doesn't the tournament have a mercy rule? Call the game when someone has a ten goal lead? rebusrankin and Mr Dee 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BomberBall Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 Heinola got hurt in the 3rd period, against Canada. Took a shot on his hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_gold_84 Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 Two damn near perfect games after that "worrisome" win over Slovakia. Canada looks pretty formidable going into the quarterfinals. Should be a good game vs. Czech Republic! Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted January 1, 2021 Report Share Posted January 1, 2021 They should pump the Czech's... Who aren't that good. 19 1st Round picks... I damn well hope they're dominating teams. It's the very definition of an all star team... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
