Pre-game chat: Canada Vs Denmark, Monday, December 31st, 2007, 12PM

Mason is getting the start today... do you think they will go back to Bernier after this? I can't see this being an overly heavy workload for Mason, although these days anything can happen.

A player to watch on Denmark will be Mikkel Boedker of the Kitchener Rangers, really talented player.

Go Canada Go!

Can someone tell me when Canada plays if they place second and when they would play if they place first.

Can someone tell me when Canada plays if they place second and when they would play if they place first.

The only information I have is that the quarters are on Jan 2nd at 10am and 2pm (they would be playing in one of those if they finished 2nd)

The semis are Jan 4th at 10am and 2pm which they would get a bye into if they finished first.

Gold Medal game is Jan 5 at 2pm
Bronze Medal game is Jan 5 at 10am

I'm calling the upset.

Yep, you heard it here first. :yo:

I'm calling the upset.

Yep, you heard it here first. :yo:

After witnessing Sweden versus Belarus in the Olympics years back nothing would surprise me at this point. I am really interested to see Boedker though

Go Danmark

Whatever you do, don't score to many goals, it wouldn't be classy towards the sweet danes. :sarcasm:

Well I can't wait for this game. Only the second game I get to watch, hopefully I manage to stay awake for the game.

anyone know of a live feed that doesn't involve being in Canada to be able to watch it?

It's worked so far for me this tourney

channelsurfing.net

Lets go Canada

From Tsn:

A goaltending change won't be the only difference for Team Canada. In a bid to generate more 5-on-5 offense, Hartsburg has decided to change up his forward lines as well. Canada has scored just eight goals in its three games so far and five of those have come on the power play. While Canada's top line of Brad Marchand-Kyle Turries-Claude Giroux will likely remain intact, the biggest beneficiary of the changes could be Oshawa Generals' forward John Tavares.

Tavares, who is tied with Kyle Turris for most goals scored on the team with 2, has been moved up to the second line, where he'll skate between Matt Halischuk and Shawn Matthias. Prior to the start of the tournament, Tavares had been viewed as mainly a power play specialist and had not been placed on permanent line.

Some other changes include Steve Stamkos replacing Riley Holzapel as the fourth line center and Colton Gillies moving to the wing of the third line.

It's also set that Canada will play in the QF. Sweden won today against Czech Republic and I just don't see Canada losing to Denmark.

Last chance for Denmark to fine tune their game before the relegation round.

Heja Danmark! :handclap:

I just hope the players realize that the tournament is not over, just because they are not automatically in the semi-final this time.

I hope Sutter sits today. Do world junior teams get to bring any extra players with them in case of an injury? I don't remember hearing anything about it but I could be wrong.

I just hope the players realize that the tournament is not over, just because they are not automatically in the semi-final this time.

I'm not upset at all that they have to play in the quarters. This team hasn't gelled yet so an extra game could end up helping them instead of sitting idle for the whole week.

Hey, I am disapointed they lost, but a quarterfinal game is all right with me (if they win of course) as long as it keeps the legs fresh.

I figure Canada will win, but Mason gives up 2 or 3.

Last chance for Denmark to fine tune their game before the relegation round.

Heja Danmark! :handclap:

anything less than a 6 or 7 goal win for canada would be an upset

Canada will win in a shutout.

Eller gets all of Demark's goals.

Eller gets all of Demark's goals.

shouldn't he be suspended for his game misconduct yesterday?

shouldn't he be suspended for his game misconduct yesterday?

I don't know, I missed that, what happened?

I don't know, I missed that, what happened?

7 secs before the game ended, he received 5+game misc for high-sticking. and that was always an automatic 1 game suspension in international tournaments.

Tavares getting much more ice time!!!:handclap:

Hartsburg is a MORON, AHH!! This is brutal.

If Steve Mason becomes Canada's #1 tender, they WILL NOT win gold.

Here are the lines for today for Canada

Marchand-Turris-Giroux
Tavares-Matthias-Halischuk
Gillies-Sutter-Legein
Holzapfel-Stamkos-Simmonds
Boychuk

Go Canada Go

I hope Sutter sits today. Do world junior teams get to bring any extra players with them in case of an injury? I don't remember hearing anything about it but I could be wrong.

TSN not mentioning Sutter's injury at all, so I'm guessing he'll play a regular shift.

TSN not mentioning Sutter's injury at all, so I'm guessing he'll play a regular shift.

Whether they are talking about it or not, he's clearly hurt and playing poorly because of it.

I get it, I need to hydrate.

I expect a close game. Canada wont win by more than 2 or 3 goals. Honourable Canadians wouldn't humiliate their opponents by running up the score.

Whatever you do, don't score to many goals, it wouldn't be classy towards the sweet danes. :sarcasm:

don't worry, that won't happen with Canada this year

our B team would score more than our A team hehe

I expect a close game. Canada wont win by more than 2 or 3 goals. Honourable Canadians wouldn't humiliate their opponents by running up the score.

Do you still wear members only jackets?

Go Canada Go! :clap:

I predict a 5-2 win for Canada

I expect a close game. Canada wont win by more than 2 or 3 goals. Honourable Canadians wouldn't humiliate their opponents by running up the score.

And some claim Canadians are cocky.... :rolleyes:

Are you really this desperate for attention?

is this on tsn broadband?

Why does the TSN feed have no sound but the RDS one does?

I expect a close game. Canada wont win by more than 2 or 3 goals. Honourable Canadians wouldn't humiliate their opponents by running up the score.

Well in their last 7 games against promoted opponents, they're averaging close to 8 goals a game and have given up 2 goals TOTAL in those 7 games.


You're wrong.

is this on tsn broadband?

yes. I am getting sound on it.

The Denmark goalie has a Gerber helmet

I expect a close game. Canada wont win by more than 2 or 3 goals. Honourable Canadians wouldn't humiliate their opponents by running up the score.

Is it just me or does anyone else want to send a slightly larger than average sized mongoose after this guy? Seriously, we get it, you don't like Canadians, good for you.

yes. I am getting sound on it.

do you have alink? I must be retarded cause I cant find it haha

Shoot!!!

Can someone tell me more about Denmark? I know of Eller and Bodker, but how many potential NHL draft picks am I watching?

do you have alink? I must be retarded cause I cant find it haha
http://live.tsn.ca/wj08/?tab=0&vid=24219',

I actually think I would rather have Boychuk as the 13th forward rather than Tavares. Boychuk hasnt really done too much yet. Anyone else agree?

They should get subban out there.

Another turn over by marchand leads to nearly a goal.:shakehead

This is a nightmare so far...

good chance there

Can someone tell me more about Denmark? I know of Eller and Bodker, but how many potential NHL draft picks am I watching?

D Philip Larsen is another potential draft pick. Keep an eye on Nicklas Hardt, Kevin Leder and Sebastian Svendsen.

not sure, but look out for philip larsen, a defender. should be a safe draft pick next year. he wears #3.

Hit the net!!!!!!!!!!!

That was Alzners turnover

No, back in the Danish zone he gave it up.

Anyone getting sound on the TSN feed who is getting it through channelsurfing.net?

5:00 in versus Denmark and Canada hasn't scored yet?!?!

Just kidding.

Anyone getting sound on the TSN feed who is getting it through channelsurfing.net?Yes, picture are sound are allgood.

No flow in the game so far. What's the record for icings in a period?

Could someone post the direct link. For some reason channelsurfing.net isnt working. Thanks.

Danish are not that bad of a team.

http://live.tsn.ca/wj08/?tab=0&vid=24219',

thanks!

ya powerplay get tavares out there.

Yes, picture are sound are allgood.
Are you getting the feed through channelsurfing.net? If you are, any guesses of why I can't get sound on the TSN feed but I can on the RDS feed?

The net is pretty big....HIT IT!!!!

God our offence absolutly stinks...I've been watching this tournamant for a long time and this has to be one of the worst. There is just no chemistry or "presence" in the offensive zone what so ever....

D Philip Larsen is another potential draft pick. Keep an eye on Nicklas Hardt, Kevin Leder and Sebastian Svendsen.

Any of them or other Danes play in Canada?

I want Canada to win 1-0, just to see these boards completely explode. :D

I want Canada to win 1-0, just to see these boards completely explode. :D

It might the way Canada is playing.

Subban with a nice heads-up pass that fooled the goalie and almost worked. And the puck stayed in deep for a good minute. Good job by PK.

As much as I hate the Bruins..this is where I would love to see Milan Lucic on thie ice to create havoc

Any of them or other Danes play in Canada?

Boedker is the only one who plays in Canada.

The team:

pp Canada

better score here on the PP

Has Canada scored a first period goal yet this tournament? Maybe one?

Matthias!!!

Matthias goal!!!

Woo, Matthias.

That line is teh good.

Shawn Matthias scores from Tavares and Godfrey

1-0 canada matthias

SCORES! :clap:

Wow - Pierre's man-love for Tavares is right up there with Crosbys and Paneufs... ;)

Anyone know another feed beside the TSN feed?

channelsurfing.net

rds.ca

PP agian

The hell was that from Eller?

Shawn Matthias scores from Tavares and Godfrey

Tavares I don't think would get it unless they handed out three assists. Tavares passed to whoever was on the half board and then out to Godfrey to Matthias

Shawn Matthias scores from Tavares and Godfrey

They corrected it... Matthias from Stamkos and Godfrey.

Matthias from who?

Shawn Matthias scores from Tavares and Godfrey You listen to macguire and you'd think the goal was scored by Tavares, asisted by tavares and Tavares!! It was actually Matthias from Godfrey and Stamkos. Better shot by Godfrey, on net

mms://a24.l4537754023.c45377.g.lm.akamaistream.net/D/24/45377/v0001/reflector:54023

direct TSN-feed. put it in VLC or WMP.

Sidney has some competition in Pierre's heart.

The Danish goalie has been pretty good so far.

You listen to macguire and you'd think the goal was scored by Tavares, asisted by tavares and Tavares!! It was actually Matthias from Godfrey and Stamkos. Better shot by Godfrey, on net

Yes, PM saying Tavares made a nice play means that he thinks Tavares is the only on the ice.

We already have the McGuire hate thread going - can you take it there?

shoot the puck

Canada must watch tape of the Flyers PP the way that one went...

Well that was a Toronto-like power play.

Bench Giroux, the man does not know how to hit the net :rant:

Marchand needs to quit being a puckhog.

Ugh Giroux has been good, but he's missed 3 good chances now.

Gillies is going to be a real nice NHL player, he's been knocking people down the entire tournament.

***, only 1-0 and the first period is almost over. Wow, this years team ****ing sucks...

Playing together has sucked all of the offense out of Giroux, Turris and Marchand.

is anyone elses TSN feed cutting in and out?

Tavares!!!!

Johnny T!!!

JT goal!!

Pure goalscorer's goal.

Tavares makes it 2-0.

tavares!

2-0 Canada, Tavares

TAVARES!!!!! :clap:

2-0 Tavares

roof daddy?

JT - FutureStar/LoveHim :D

eller! :shakehead

That was a damned nice shot.

Tavares!!! 2-0 now....

Tavares with the crazy release.

I didn't think much of him, oddly enough, at the beginning of the tournament. He's growing on me, though. Or maybe it's just the Pierre McGuire effect? :sarcasm:

Wow, can someone explain to me why Tavares got no time for the first 3 games? He's probably been Canada's best player so far today.

Wow - it's the 1987 Mario Lemieux Canada Cup winning goal all over again...

Yes, PM saying Tavares made a nice play means that he thinks Tavares is the only on the ice.

We already have the McGuire hate thread going - can you take it there? It's just so funny!! Who will be his man love next year?

'nother PP for Canada.

roof daddy?

Why not? It was a MONSTER defensive play by Tavares to get the play started...

roof daddy?

I kind of liked that one :handclap: He said it with such passion

PP again better shoot this time

God Tavares is putting on a show.....

I cant listen to Pierre anymore, He needs to **** about Tavares every second. We get it hes good

Can anyone tell me why Claude Giroux thinks he's Dennis Savard?

I love JT's game, but McGuire is disgusting me. Just effing stop it. It's bordering on Crosby-esque.

Tavares is kicking *** and taking names :yo:

Does anybody else think Pierre has a boner for Tavares?

It's just so funny!! Who will be his man love next year?

Since Tavares will still be eligible (and will play unless there's other circumstances)...Tavares.

Good to see Tavares sounds like he's playing well (err...just getting information from this thread).

Godfrey misses the net, again.

It's nice to see Tavares get more ice time, but this is Denmark. Was it against Sweden or Slovakia where he got extra 5-on-5 time and was getting knocked off the puck with ease?

Good first period.

Welcome to the John tavares WJC show!!!
We get it Pierre. He's a good player!!
He seems to better on his skates today, the previous games he was knocked down a lot. With the goal he scored you can see why he leads the OHL in scoring, that was a nice quick release upstairs.

Good first period.

What have you been smoking?

I'm tired of hearing Tavares. All the good play it's because of him even if his not in the ice :shakehead.

The guys is good but his not alone on the ice.

Does anybody else think Pierre has a boner for Tavares?

I have one after that period too

He just gets excited about super high talent. It's better than some color guys who try to say something good about everyone.

If a player dominates a period like JT just did, you better talk about him

Wow, can someone explain to me why Tavares got no time for the first 3 games? He's probably been Canada's best player so far today.

apparently he's a lousy defensive player who can't skate ... what I've seen thus far is the exact opposite but anyhow, we're internet guys and we can't question our great hockey minds that have won 2 billion games in a row.

Tavares has been very impressive, especially considering his young age.
A 17 year old excelling in an U20 tourney is pretty rare.
I was skeptical about the guy until I saw the past few games. This guy is going to be something at the pro level...

there's the horn for the first period. anyone else have an urge for a crispy crunch? ;)

Bob MaKenzie just gave a great and realistic explanation of John Tavares, how he made the team only b/c of his reputation, but he's adjusted to the big ice and to playing 30 second shifts and giving his all, instead of pacing himself over a 2 minute shift as he does in the OHL.

Its time to break up that first line, its not doing anything good. Put Stamkos and Gillies on it and let Giroux and Marchand play a defensive role, see if it inspires everyone.

Marchand should be benched for at least 10 minutes, see if that gets him going.

I think we have to realize that Canada is playing Denmark. If Tavares can step up like this against Sweden or the USA then I'll be impressed!

Don't get me wrong, he'll be a star in the NHL, but that's still a couple of years away. Show me you can dominate equal teams in this tournament.

there's the horn for the first period. anyone else have an urge for a crispy crunch? ;)

Yeah, what's up with that? I have several boxes of crispy crunch bars piled up on my kitchen table.

If Tavares want to play in the NHL, he better learn how to only take 30 second shifts

I think we all know this.

How's it going? What's the score?

How's it going? What's the score?

2-0 Canada

For comparison, is was 2-1 Sweden after one period against Denmark.

How's it going? What's the score?

2-0 Canada

What is the use of a hard shot when you have no accuracy to go with it?

Pyett hasn't impressed me at all this tournament.

Early in the tournament Tavares was only getting a few shifts each game and looked like he didn't have much confidence and was just playing like he was scared of making a mistake because he knew that could lead to him being benched for the rest of the game. Now the coach is showing confidence in him and Tavares looks more comfortable. It's nice to finally see why he is dominating the OHL. He has good creativity, but seems to have a good sense of when to try something creative and when to just get the puck to the net.

Pyett and Godfrey are aweful.

Is it just me, or is Demark playing Canada even?

Well, Larsen is doing pretty good.

Good cycle by the fourth line.

Good cycle by the fourth line.

Yep - nice work. By comparison our "1st" line is terrible. I wonder what's wrong with them? :help:

Is it just me, or is Demark playing Canada even?
Well, the Danes have that one really good line that's had 2 or 3 chances, but apart from that it's been a lot of icings by them and heavy pressure from Canada

Well, the Danes have that one really good line that's had 2 or 3 chances, but apart from that it's been a lot of icings by them and heavy pressure from Canada

Sorry, what game have you been watching?

Yep - nice work. By comparison our "1st" line is terrible. I wonder what's wrong with them? :help: Maybe put Gillies on there instead of Marchand? Or put Turris with Boychuk and Gillies?

Sorry, what game have you been watching? You don't agree the Danes have been put under heavy pressure?

I don't understand why we haven't mixed up the first line yet, it's been completely useless so far, you'd think they'd do some changes.

Godfrey earned that penalty.

Marchand should be benched for at least 10 minutes, see if that gets him going.

Marchand scored a nice goal in the Sweden game, but he's been terrible otherwise. He's gotta go to the fourth line.

penalty to Canada :shakehead

Lauridsen knubles the Danish PP.

How has Lars Eller looked for the Danes so far?

Giroux to Turris!!

Wow, beauty of a goal right there.

Turris!!! The 1st line does something!!!

Maybe put Gillies on there instead of Marchand? Or put Turris with Boychuk and Gillies?

Maybe even put your eggs in one basket? Play Turris with Stamkos and say, Halischuk?

3-0 Canada. Turris scores.

Turris! :clap:

Maybe put Gillies on there instead of Marchand? Or put Turris with Boychuk and Gillies?

Hmmm - Giroux and Turris together in a 4 on 4 situation - no Marchand. Result?

Goal.

Maybe even put your eggs in one basket? Play Turris with Stamkos and say, Halischuk?

Or Boychuk, a player with some skill.

That's the first good play I've seen Hickey make this game.

Phenomenal playmaking there by Hickey and Giroux.

3-0 Canada and Canada has another PP

That was a tremendous pass by Giroux, slam dunk for Turris.

You don't agree the Danes have been put under heavy pressure?

No, not unless you're counting the PP. Heavy pressure is having them pinned in their end for long periods of time, not just some of the time.

Phenomenal playmaking there by Hickey and Giroux. Quick puck movement and skating hard, nice play!!

Damn it Pierre, Pyett is never making the NHL and has been nothing short of brutal in this tournament.

Strange penalty call there...

No, not unless you're counting the PP. Heavy pressure is having them pinned in their end for long periods of time, not just some of the time.Sounds like you agree with me, it's just semantics! And Pierre's commentating is much better this period!!

Tavares is robbed!!

Ooo, Moller flashing the leather.

Lars Eller is killing his team. The penalties are bad enough but he has been guilty as sin on two of the goals for letting up on the back check. He is many moons away from the NHL.

If he was not playing today this game would be closer.

The Danish goalie has made some great saves.

The Danish goalie is the only thing stopping this game from being a complete blowout... men against boys out there.

Wow, Denmark has ZERO offense. Kind of hard to watch.

they cant even stay onside on the powerplay

How has Lars Eller looked for the Danes so far?

Undisciplined and overanxious.

"I think Godfrey did that on purpose" Pierre Maguire.

For **** sakes, he's got a hard shot, but he's not ****ing Al MacInnis

Kings fans you could have had Karl Alzner, think about that.

Who did Pierre say Hartsburg pulled off the ice? Marchand, Turris, Giroux? I missed it . . .

Kings fans you could have had Karl Alzner, think about that.

Hickey has actually been pretty good from what I've seen, I mean, I agree they should have taken Alzner, but Hickey looks like he has some potential.

Good lord, Marchand has been terrible, seriously make him the 13th forward.

Kings fans you could have had Karl Alzner, think about that.

You don't think Kings fans have thought about that?


Are you on this planet?


Go check out the 2-pages of threads after the last year's draft.

Kings fans you could have had Karl Alzner, think about that.

Alzner has been far from a standout in this tourney. The first period turnover he made was Junior Bish. Did not check his near side support and gave it right to the second Dane following the play.

Hickey has not been error free either but to say he is far behind Alzner is unfair. I am assuming they see Hickey replacing Lubo in 2-3 years.

Hickey has actually been pretty good from what I've seen, I mean, I agree they should have taken Alzner, but Hickey looks like he has some potential.

This game maybe, tourny-wise, he's been from average to bad.

This game maybe, tourny-wise, he's been from average to bad.

I thought he was pretty good in the Czech game as well, didn't really see him too much in the other two.

Could Pierre talk more in a monotone when talking about the Denmark players?

You don't think Kings fans have thought about that?


Are you on this planet?


Go check out the 2-pages of threads after the last year's draft.

I know, it's just becoming more glaring as the tournament rolls along.

Canada is sleep walking through this, I understand it's Demark, but I would expect a little more intensity.

Tavares and Matthias seem to be developing some chemistry, I'd like to see those two with Stamkos on a few 5on5 shifts, I personally think they'd do really well.

Wow Marchand is useless. He just gets nudged off the puck.

Boooooooorrrring.

I shudder to think of this team playing against USA in the semis.

That is, if they beat Finland on Wednesday.

Question of the game:

Will Denmark get a shot on this 5-on-3?

Denmark scores :shakehead

They got a goal on the 5-on-3. :D

Well played 2 man advantage. And they stay on the PP. Bugger.

This Danish top line isn't too bad.

And they score. Good work Mason.

Its pretty clear Canada has no chance at gold, I will be surprised if we even score more then 2 goals against the US.

Nice setup by Eller to Boedker on the 5-on-3 goal.

This Canadian team sucks.

Good to see Denmark get on the board. Bodker might be the best player on the ice for both teams.

Its pretty clear Canada has no chance at gold, I will be surprised if we even score more then 2 goals against the US.

I agree, I don't see anything special about this team.

This Canadian team sucks.

They're definitely not the bees knees, but I wouldn't say they suck per se.

But I am also concerned about their ability to take home gold this year.

I agree, I don't see anything special about this team.

Maybe next time they build a team, less nepotism should enter into the selection process.

SCORES :clap:

Yay, goal.

Turris scores!!!!

Turris again... I'm not so sure why people are so down on Canada.

Nice set up by Tavares and a good finish by Turris.

I just don't find this Canadian team has any identity....they're not a physical or agressive team...not much offensive flair outside of Turris and Tavares...maybe Stamkos with the occasional spark....

I'm just not seeing anything that will make me think they will beat the US. The two best teams in the tourney in my opinion are the US and Sweden....

I'm surprised Stamkos wasn't ducking away from Godfrey's shot on the PP!!!

But I am also concerned about their ability to take home any medal this year.

Fixed that for you.

Maybe next time they build a team, less nepotism should enter into the selection process.

Which player is related to anyone in the selection team?

I'm not so sure why people are so down on Canada.

Because they just don't look that good, winning this game or not.

Turris again... I'm not so sure why people are so down on Canada.

The only person I am mad at is Giroux, because he can't aim for his life. Oh.... and Marchand too.

Has this Danish player "Hardt" been drafted yet?? He's actually been very impressive today..

Bottom line is that Canada is winning and Denmark shows no signs of getting into this game. Sweden already made the outcome a non-issue, so I'm just waiting for the knockout rounds to see where Canada stands. Your coaching and depth is much too good for anybody to write them out of the running for gold at this point.

This tournament has barely begun.

I'm surprised Stamkos wasn't ducking away from Godfrey's shot on the PP!!!

He doesn't have to, Godfrey shoots it 4 feet over the net off the glass.

Maybe next time they build a team, less nepotism should enter into the selection process.

Hummm... what else do you suggest? I mean.... Who do you think is there because on pure nepotism?

Somebody gotta remember this team should have had Toews and Gagner on it. Amongst others.

Your coaching and depth is much too good for anybody to write them out of the running for gold at this point.

This tournament has barely begun.

You should know by now that Canada has to win every goal by 5 goals, preferably a shutout, or else the world is ending. :sarcasm:

Play Bernier tomorrow, Mason looked awkward this game.

Has this Danish player "Hardt" been drafted yet?? He's actually been very impressive today..

He´s undrafted. Kinda small, but he definitly got talent.

Woo Hoo! :handclap:

Philip Larsen POG for Denmark

Tavares should have won that.

and once again the "hot chicks" make an appearance during the player of the game ceremonies... and once again the TSN camera man pauses and extra ten seconds on the shot with the extra big hooters.:naughty:

edit: and once again James Duthie makes an off-handed comment on this very fact.

That girl drew Frank Musil's attention...

Hummm... what else do you suggest? I mean.... Who do you think is there because on pure nepotism?

Somebody gotta remember this team should have had Toews, Kane and Gagner on it. Amongst others.

Kane would never make the CDN team.
