Just too much sloppy defensive play and errant passing/giveaways. There are always questionable calls in this tourney but Canada actually benefited from a few themselves. Czechia deserved this one

1-1 after the first. Czechia looks quite good. Canada looking a bit Leaf-ian in the d-zone.

I mean...I'm writing in a pretty calm and civilized manner. You keep swearing and ranting like a petulant child, which is why I brought it up. No worries, feel free to take your own advice and stop reading mine. And "couldn't care less" is the term you're going for.

I enjoy this forum (and thread, in particular) because there is some great banter, analysis and discussions on here. But your petulant replies to anyone who directs but the smallest of criticisms towards Woll is really getting tiresome. It's a forum, people are allowed to disagree. Grow up.

Completely breaking up the only line that has worked and Domi on top line is certainly...a choice.

Lines at skate: McMann - Matthews - Domi Maccelli - Tavares - Nylander Knies - Roy - Robertson Joshua - Laughton - Lorentz —-OEL - Tanev McCabe - Stecher Rielly - Myers Woll

I mean, it Savard knock life... (I swear I'm done)

Well, I wouldn't exactly give his tenure high...Marcs... (Yup, I logged in just to make that joke)

Oh, Jarnkrok HAS been in the lineup?

I don't think I can even bring myself to watch, which I don't think has happened in my past 30-35 years of intent watching. I'm not even sure who the brunt of this mess falls upon. While I don't think the criticism of Treliving is entirely unearned, is he responsible for Matthews, Rielly...

I really don't understand why Shanahan wouldn't just take over the GM reins himself, particularly since it appears he blocked some pretty substantial moves. Or do the due diligence, get your "guy" and let them mold their team into their vision. Otherwise we will always have this mismatch, messy...

Speaking of whom....man, do I miss Sundin...

They shed Jarry's 5+ cap this year and next. Skinner essentially replaces him for half the cap, plus you get a bottom pairing NHL D and a 2nd rounder. I don't know if they're parcticularly high on Silovs (backup) but their defense is better than Edmonton's and maybe the thinking is Skinner can...

Stutzle probably felt the red hash mark on his skate and immediately fell, as his automatic diving mode kicked into gear

you know...thats why I hate facts.. 😶

He always played well enough in the preseason to warrant a spot on the roster too, imo. For some reason, there has been a reluctance to let players from within get a chance and find their way in the NHL. Other Contending teams do it, so the "win now" mantra isn't an excuse.

Exactly this. I never understand when people complain about elite goal scorers who don't hit enough or play better defense..I mean..if they could score that much AND be great defensively AND physically, then they would be a once in a lifetime, generational player. Kessel went through this too...

I'm still trying to rap my head around this dumping into corner thing when trailing.....and not getting puck possession. I'm not sure what kind of style this is. I don't know what I'm watching. I don't think the players even know. What is this?

You know, usually when there are this many injuries you get to see some youth; maybe see how some interesting guys on the farm perform in the big leagues...Well.....I guess it's just Quillan...if he's actually dressed....and, nobody on D? Damn...that's..concerning...

This is something that has bothered me for quite some time now, and also why I don't get nearly as worked up regarding the Leafs as I previously would have. They really can't win. Everyone on and surrounding this team deserves as much flack as they get, don't get me wrong, but they can never be...
