Sad wake up call, but he’s not what he thinks he is. They said he needs to get back to playing the fast, hard nosed game and get away from the superstar, dangle around everyone and take a perimeter shot constantly.

Jason said he’s the one guy taking abysmally long shifts well over a minute on average and doing absolutely nothing with it.

I don’t see Canada winning tonight unless McKenna reunites with Martone and carries this team in his back.
It says alot about the state of Team Canada that many of us find it hard to believe they can beat Czechia tonight.

Before the tournament, you would think Canada would be a big favorite against them.

I think Canada wins easily tonight, but lose in the semis and fail to medal.

I found it hard to cheer for them against USA. Lots of dmb plays and over-emoting.

Czechia has a 19.7% shooting percentage (1st in the tournament)

Canada is last in the tournament with a 5.8% shooting percentage

I suspect both will normalize tonight, and Canada puts up 5 or 6 goals.

Getting outshot 35-17 by Slovakia and holding onto a 4-3 lead?

Hahaha, wow, 4 seconds of pp time!
I guess it just evens out, because Sikora really didn't deserve the call either.

Or at least give the talent they do have more opportunity.
Thankfully they're actually playing Martone tonight.

Another selfish play for Cowan. He passes that to Bonk it's a sure goal.
