At least this will be a nice lesson for any players that might have been buying into their own hype.

Canada hasn't been very good at all this game but the reffing is absolutely atrocious.

This team doesn't deserve to be in this game right now but these calls are not helping.

At least 17 years according to TSN. Thats the last time Canada failed to make the semis. Some of these players weren't even talking yet.

They are the worst players to play for Canada in their entire lifetime.

Didn't realize this was an elimination game and the semi's were out of the question.

I disagree. Sure this team is definitely mediocre for Canada, but we can't overlook that the other countries in the tournament have definitely grown over the years.

Canada is just not moving their feet and going after loose pucks like they really want them.

The nice thing about being a fat middle aged Canadian with the Internet is that you can crap all over 18 and 19 year old kids. It is a Canadian tradition.

This team looks weaker then the 1998 team that finished 8th. There's no chemistry, no creativity and little pushback. This is a team that the players look happy just to have been selected.
