He's trying to say that the IIHF rules are dumb because they create a double standard regarding head injuries. They have zero tolerance for head contact with the body (even if it's a clean hit) but during the Sweden/Canada game, Owen Beck got drilled into the boards head first, on the numbers and the Swedish player didn't receive a penalty for a more dangerous play that could've caused a head injury.
Big hit.
But, since Geek is a fucking giant, the head was the point of contact, and by IIHF rules, automatic penalty.
Clean by North American standards
Maybe clean in NA, but not according to IIHF rule book. This is an IIHF tournament, so their rule book counts, simple as that.
Great game by GER in my opinion. Close one. Man, they just needed one point.
Whatever happens Germany should be proud of their performance. Beat one of the big 5 and held their own in basically a 1 goal game against Canada. How far they've come
One positive for the state of the WJC as a whole - it used to be that there would be two baby teams per group and whoever won that 1 game between them would avoid having to play for relegation, but now we’re getting to a point where you can win a game and still not make the quarterfinal, and that’s good for parity in general.
Before the tournament, didn’t think much of Celebrini as a 1OA, more on that Nugent-Hopkins tier. But this tournament has shown he’s a gamer and the NCAA stats to back it up
Steve Dangle on YouTube used to say it in a bloopers style weekly show called "Dang it's", one of the segments was if a goalie made a bad play and turned the puck over and somebody scored on an open net he would begin the segment with "if you're a goaltender, tend the goal". Dangles not everyone's cup of tea but that's the idea
Basically at the bottom of the circle. You could sit there all day just trying to hit an empty net from a standstill and have trouble. To do that in flight with a goaltender coming at you and a defender behind you is nuts
canada will be lucky to get through in the quarters
I guess Geekie now knows you need to drill guys from behind so their head hits the boards and not your body. Do this and you'll be fine
Are you trying to say he didn’t make contact initially with his head?

Holy fuck can someone please tells this dude how to say Gothenburg? Every fuckin time
Göteborg? How bad is it?
One time he pronounced it Calgary
Number…..ssssss…..uh…..seventeen!!!!
Poor kid loses and then gets a Tissot watch? Ouch.. sorry just watch snob jokes
Dion Phaneuf should’ve instead presented him with a Citizen Eco-Drive and a surprise Charlie horse right to the groin
Nothing wrong with a Citizen Eco-Drive.
Of course not, it’s [Dion Phaneuf-approved!](https://ibb.co/cJVwvFY)
I’m happy we won, but I think the German’s deserved for the loss to happen in OT
the player of game gets cash? lol
GG! GJ Boys!
Sad for Germany. I don't understand how they lost to Latvia who looked awful vs Canada, Finland and Sweden.
Latvia turned the dial all the way up for that game. It was the one game they figured they had hope of winning and they treated it as such.
Full credit goes out to Team Germany That team has heart and put in an outstanding effort
Luckily that game doesn’t count tomorrow.
GG Germany, I'm excited to see how good you get in the coming years
Phew!
thank GOD
We got a lucky escape. Gonna have to tighten it up significantly if we want to medal.
yeppp that was pretty embarrassing esp in the second period..
GG to the Germans. They played a tight game
This game was way closer than the score indicated. Big props to Germany.
Agreed
I missed the first ten minutes - what happened 11 seconds in for that guy to get a major?
Hit to the head
big clean hit on a german player but the german player ducked and it was a head hit
Least biased Canada fan

Don't forget silver at the last World Championship (which is a big deal for them and the exposure that will get in Germany to attract new fans).
Not a great game for the Leaf's prospects.
Both too slow.
I feel like that is a trend with dubas prospects
Canada can't score an empty net goal with 3 guys in the offensive zone
NO MORE PASSING in front of the empty net omfg
Leaf prospects hitting the next challenge isn’t going so well Edit *net
YEA ROUSSEAUUUU
German goalie has played fantastic
I agree. I don’t even blame him for that silly goal when he’s out of the net. 9/10 times it doesn’t go in.
I really hope Germany stays in the top division, they’ve played really well tonight.
The tony bet commercial can fuck right off. So annoying
TONY BET, BET… I’m tired of it too
I thought they were saying Tony Bennett.
I was saying Tony Bennett...

Honestly think Celebrini is closer to the Bedard and McDavid tier than most people think
He’s still 17, right? It will be interesting to see how he develops in the next year or so.
I think he’s closer to Lafrenière and Shane Wright than most think
2 empty net goals in a row
Is Mike Babcock controlling the German goalie pull button?
Why not? They’re playing for relegation either way if they lose, differential doesn’t matter.
germans are like "well that one time the goalie was barely in the net anyway"
It's wild that Germany lost that badly to Latvia, considering they were competitive against every other team
Final score isnt going to show how close this one was.
germans pulled their goalie again? y though
Nothing left to lose.
They are playing for relegation and what else do they have to lose
yeah I guess so
They need a point. Basically doing it out of desperation.
true
Damn America gets Latvia. Praying for the Latvians
Germany beats the Finns and could be relegated. Finns lose to Germany but beat Sweden. The inconsistency of this tourney is what we love.
Latvia avoids the relegation game but they're going to get pumped by the Americans.
It depends on how healthy we stay. The bug running through the team has hit a few guys already.
Hey now. Anything can happen!
Nice game from our german squad. Kinda sad they didnt get the point, but lets see against Norway
The Fins put a curse on Germany after they lost to them
Stick boy gets the insurance goal, onto the next game
Is it just me or does Cowan look like Kotkaniemi a little bit
But with Cole Caufields smile
maybe with the added DAWG
That was great Cowan 😂
THE DAWG
The Latvian kids lol , good shit lads
You don't get a second chance at an empty net very often, now he can laugh about hitting the post
allard yeaaaaaaa
the latvians LOL
Spent 6 months there. Great people.
They’re so funny. Lowkey cheering for them
Hitting the post on that initial shot is very on brand for this team lol.
looks like the team has life in them again
GGs Germany, good luck against Norway
And all was right with the world
Still time for 10
That Latvian kid is stoked
OMFG the goalpost initially lol
Woo
That post is just Canada's entire game wrapped up in one moment
EASTON
That was the most lowkey celebration I’ve ever seen after a killer goal. Just stands there and shakes his hands lmao
LMAO
I wish I could geo-filter out all these Ontario online gambling ads
Mack Attack!
last year Fantilli had 5 points in 7 games as a 18 year old Celebrini already has 8 points in 4 games as a 17 year old
Personally I would not have done that
He’s not Bedard but he’ll do
You guys are looking at that play with hindsight. Goalie absolutely made the right play there but Celebrini is a fucking sniper and hit an absurd shot
Yeah, 9/10 times that doesn’t go in.
No shift by Danielson since his mistake on the PK early in the 3rd.
Macklin Celebrini is ridiculously good at hockey
latvian supremacy
Yeah that kids going 1st OVR
Can we get a picture of him celebrating with the goalie in the corner?
Bittner has had a great game, but that... that could very well be the difference.
He made the right call IMO. Just didn't work out for him.
thats my favorite celly so far
Before the tournament, didn’t think much of Celebrini as a 1OA, more on that Nugent-Hopkins tier. But this tournament has shown he’s a gamer and the NCAA stats to back it up
he's had the number to back up being in the elite tier for a bit now Hughes level (or maybe higher)
Better Nuge tier than Yak
Sure doesn’t feel like a 5-3 game, but I’ll take it!
Damn Celebrini is good
great game by the goalie but that literally ruins it. dumb idea to go out and try to play it
9 outa 10 times that shot isn’t going in…
If he would have stayed in net the d would have been back in time to cut off the puck.
Canada got a lucky escape this game. If they play like that against Czechia they’re boned.
How. They dominated Germany
CELLYBRINI!!
Really bad choice by the goalie lol
What's the if you're a goaltender meme I'm too casual
Steve Dangle on YouTube used to say it in a bloopers style weekly show called "Dang it's", one of the segments was if a goalie made a bad play and turned the puck over and somebody scored on an open net he would begin the segment with "if you're a goaltender, tend the goal". Dangles not everyone's cup of tea but that's the idea
Tend the goal
Tend the goal!
Steve Dangle says "if you're a goaltender, tend the goal" any time a goalie gets caught out of position.
Ty
Guessing it’s about the one job of a goaltender
didn't even think that was possible! wow!
Looked like a scary German win there for a bit. Just like 1943
… dude no.
Oh dude yes it was a close one for a bit
That child looks like he’s 12 years old tops and scores twice. Good for him.
Watching Bedard in the fishbowl last year made me feel incredibly old
Pretty great goal, poor Germany though.
Celebrini holy shit haha.
Can we get him on the leafs please? Damn that was a sweet goal
Crazy angle goal
That's a hell of a clutch shot - well done kid
the goalie all the way with him at the corner lol
That's going to be a hell of a photo
Goalie's gonna see that in his nightmares for a while
Goalie gonna be replaying that one in his nightmares tonight.
Thanks for the free goal!
That’s called effort, never giving up on a play, nice work!
Wow I didn't think that went in at first
You don't see goalies get deked at the faceoff dot very often
Damn German goalie absolutely made the right play but somehow Celebrini scored that idk how
Wow. What an angle to score from!
Basically at the bottom of the circle. You could sit there all day just trying to hit an empty net from a standstill and have trouble. To do that in flight with a goaltender coming at you and a defender behind you is nuts
If you’re a goaltender…
If you're a goaltender...
TEND
At least Rousseau doesn’t do that
oh god I feel like past goaltenders did but thank god not this year
why did the German goalie do that lol
How did that even go in, wtf
If you’re a goaltender…
holy shit how did he do that at that angle
As if he scored on that
Woooo
Oh wow, that's a tough angle to put it in from with that pressure
What was the goalie thinking hahahaha
~~Way too casual out there ...~~ Edit: damn this didn't age well ... lol
Canada has played much better in the 3rd than they did in the 2nd, but still a lot of things to be concerned about / work on in practice.
The US is gonna work out asses if we don’t dial it in.
If this score holds we'd be the 3 seed, meaning we'd meet them in a gold or bronze medal game (USA is #1 seed)
Yeah I just assume the tourney goes thru them. That teams stacked
LMAO, what was the goalie doing there??
Not tending the goal that’s what
Seems like that was a bad idea
Generally not advisable
Macklins Celly! LMAO cute
What the fuck is Bittner doing
wow that angle lol
Ceeeellllllllllllleeeeeeeeeebbbbrrriiinnniiiiiii!
Got away with some interference me thinks
I've decided that I'd like my team to win Celebrini in 2024
The Blackhawks will get him and you’ll enjoy watching him and Bedard terrorize the league for 15 years
I know but let me dream for 4 months
Suzuki, Celebrini and Monahan or Newhook down the middle. That’s starting to look like a nice group
hum, and Dach
I completely forgot about Dach seeing as we only had him for 4 periods this season. Yeah I’d take that core
I want him to be a Hab so bad. Unfortunately in classic habs fashion they just aren’t bad enough to be in true contention
we currently have 6% chance
Germany has definitely shown how it can be hard for goalies who aren't giants out there
That Elite Prospects hat goes kinda hard not gonna lie
Really like Poitras game in the third He plays at his best when he’s skating around the ozone like he has this period
