[GDT] Ongoing 2025 WJC Game Day Thread

How is Cameron not fired yet?

[Rhett44]

This is the least likeable roster as well. I'm sure most of them are fine, but don't like how dirty a few of our players are. And the effort level is sad.

[zukes]

This is 100% on the coaching and selection. I go to a fair number of Knights games and have seen most of the OHL guys live and none of them are looking like they normally do. The Knights guys are especially off their games. I promise Cowan does not play like this normally (though awesome going forward because screw the Leafs).

Bonk and Dickenson being played out of position on the PP just screams of a coach who thinks he's smarter than anyone else.

Brutal job by Hockey Canada. Embarassing!

He will be in a couple hours.

This kid in the interview isn’t even sweating.

Someone needs to go into that locker room, and just say this:

NSFW!

[Ferarri]

This team is square pegs, round holes.

I think there is a precedent for firing your Coach between the 2nd and 3rd periods...I think the Czechs did that once?

Scan the QR code to donate gear to the youth! In reality it's used as hush money and paying the board members.

All that work they put in is really paying off!

Waaaaait... Did they actually play those games?!

[Junglist]

Bob McKenzie agrees with me, not a penalty at all.

I would hope for an examination across GM, coach and team selection.

This squad completely lacks any level of dynamic skill. Even those that have it - have been ineffective.

Yep. A lot of 'smartest person in the room' vibes going on with how many skilled, highly drafted players were not even invited to camp. Messed up.

Time to do things differently before the U.S. leaves our country in the dust.

Yeah, I've liked Luchanko too

[Junglist]

and they are calling him a faker, just brutal reffing.

[Paulie Walnuts]

This panel is embarrassing. Sorry Bob.

[Mass_nerder]

I generally respect what Bobby Mac has to say, but that's a brutal take to say that it was center mass.
Elbow was first point of contact, followed by his knee.

[Calgary]

I think it was Finland that did it one year

[Toonage]

TSN heads want to leave that building with theirs in tact lol
