Why Did Subban Say Hed Punch Mackinnon Again if He Gets the Chance?
World Juniors – Canada vs Slovakia, a Tv watching journal
As always, I will exist attempting to lookout man the Junior games live, then yous don't take to. I will exist expressing my hopes, dreams, thoughts, wishes, and possible Wall Street takeover plans (I saw it in Batman, I know what mistakes non to make now) equally I lookout man the games. We had a corking time watching Canada dismantle Germany amidst a flurry of floating maple leafs, but now we plow our attention to the silent assassins, the Slovakian team, who was once voted as the nearly likely to appear on Glee.
Pre-Game Festivites
– I wonder how many times they volition mention Ryan Nugent-Hopkins 5 indicate game in game one during this night's broadcast? I am thinking 37.
– Ryan Strome and Brett Ritchie take a vignette on TSN now, telling usa about their history together. They are teammates in the juniors for the Niagra Ice Dogs and are apparently best friends. A "bromance" as TSN has merely informed me.
– They are doing dull motion shots of Strome and Ritchie on the water ice, with snowflakes falling effectually them. I think TSN is merely playing clips from romantic comedy movies at this point…Either that, or someone in the TSN editing coiffure is hoping for an Oscar.
– They show a shot of suspended Boone Jenner watching the warmup. Oh, Boone just made eye contact with the camera human being. RUN! RUUUUUN!
– Ray Ferraro is breaking downwardly the keys to victory for Slovakia. I can't tell if he is angry or happy.
– Canadian Guild commercial has taken a stunning lead over Tim Horton'south for "commercial I want to stab in the confront". Third time I've seen information technology this evening.
– Nuge talk begins! James Duthie gets edgy most it. "RNH was RFG. Really freaking practiced." Almost cussing!
– Bob McKenzie trying to politely call Slovakia a boring trapping squad. "They are a counter punching team."
First Period
– The Nuge with a big hit to start the game! Two big hits in two games? Might as well get those out of his system before he tries that in the NHL and breaks in half.
– Ferraro accident away past Slovakia's warm up. Apparently each goalie takes around 75 shots each. Ferraro sounds slightly disgusted by this. Or in awe of it. Again, hard to read the man.
– Slovakia scores an ugly, dirty, loose puck in the crease goal. Puck takes a couple of bounces, Subban has no thought where the puck is, puck dribbles over his shoulder, Slovakia taps it in the empty net. one-0 Slovakia!

– Canada starting to hit now. Nobody makes them bleed their own goals.
– Slovaks accept a penalty for setting a choice. Weak phone call. Just I will gladly take it, suck on that Slovakia.
– Murphy makes a terrible pass, but Gord Miller helps him out and says he played it to an empty corner. That is the nice way of saying "he passed information technology to nobody". My Canuck bias will continue to wonder why Corrado isn't on the team over Murphy because this is an easy game to play and I'k proficient at it.
– Canada's powerplay one time again fizzles out. As a Canucks fan, I am used to watching powerplays suck, so I can handle this quite easily.
– Subban continues to make exaggerated leg movements on simple saves. This concerns me. It'south like he'south a video game ready to "arcade" way.
– Canada takes a penalty for being Canada and getting too concrete. This is getting close to "uh oh…." territory.
– Canada kills the penalty, and then Scheifele takes a knee on knee hit from the Slovaks. He's downwards for a minute but he shakes it off Like A Skillful CANADIAN KID, EH? Canada heads to the powerplay, and 10 minutes into the game they nevertheless but have two shots. Pierre McGuire would have been screaming about that knee I bet. I miss yous Pierre.

– The Nuge and Hubes Express work some magic passing on the powerplay, but the puck bounces away from them earlier they tin stop off a great scoring chance. Slovaks kill off the penalty. I presume somewhere a Slovak fan allow out an evil laugh.
– Annnnnnd Mikus of the Slovaks (yes, let's all pretend we know who he is) is down on the ice, and he is either in a coma, or he is trying his best to sell the penalty. Ref signals for a penalty for hitting to the head, the call going confronting J C Lipon of Canada. I guess with Boone Jenner suspended, nosotros need someone to dish out illegal hits. This penalty apparently either means a 2 minute penalty or a 10 minutes misconduct. Nosotros'll find out afterward the commercials, though, as waiting helps build upward suspense.
[View:http://www.youtube.com/spotter?five=nTtT1cCzBJo]
– OK, I lied, Lipon got v and a game for that punishment. Using sports cliches, I hope Canada "rallies around this".
– Slovakia has a player named Reway, Bagins, and Bruno Mraz. I keep hearing "Threeway, Bilbo Bagins, Bruno Mars" on the color commentary. This all sounds very dirty, like a celebrity sex record of sorts.
– Slovakia scores on the powerplay! Mikus, who was previously expressionless from that body check, resurrected himself to score! It was a nice snipe over Subban'south blocker side. The best part of the play was a Canadian player trying to block the shot, but realizing he was blocking it potentially with his face up, then he moved his caput awkwardly mid fall as he tried to get his face abroad from the puck. You could about see him mouthing the words "Oh god no NOTMYFAAAACE!" As well amusing? Subban's left and right await after the goal as he tried to figure out how the goal went in. "That didn't get in, correct? I had that covered. That went in, didn't it. S**t."
[View:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0EdAOmvF41g]
– Huberdeau most scores shorthanded, but since the Nuge didn't laissez passer him the puck, he isn't allowed to score. We have rules, Jonathan. Information technology would behove you to follow them. (What other hockey epitomize busts out the "behove"? Nobody, that'southward who.)
– Canada kills off the powerplay. Canada is angry. Hits being handed out more than enthusiastically now.
– Canada gets another good chance from the Nuge-Hubes Express, but the puck just bounces abroad from them at the final moment, one time again. Hockey Gods are angry with the NHL lockout and are patently taking it out on Squad Canada. Shots 11-four for Slovakia. Ugh.
– Flow ends with Slovakia up 2-0! I didn't meet this coming, and nor did Canada apparently. I expect a much better second period. After this Canadian Order commercial of course…
1st Break
– Canadian Guild commercial! Sigh.
– Bob McKenzie breaking downwards Ryan Potato'due south terrible play on 5 on five hockey. One time once again I go to play the "Frank Corrado wouldn't accept washed that" game.
– TSN points out how they pointed out before the game how Canada has never lost to Slovakia in this tournament before. This is chosen "bragging near jinxing", folks.
– CANADIAN Guild COMMERCIAL. OH Practiced.
– CANADIAN CLUB COMMERCIAL AGAIN. OH GOOD. SERIOUSLY. Can Lipon run me over and put me out of my Canadian Gild misery?
Second Flow
– Huge hit by Slovakia on Scheifele away from the puck, no call. Canada collectively grumbles and shakes its fist.
– Mark Strome takes a left at Albuquerque and finds himself in the centre of the slot, scores! Canada down just ane now. That was a sweet goal by Strome, he worked his manner off the boards and went into the middle, where apparently Slovakia was surprised to notice him. Finished off the play with a prissy snipe. "We should simply leave the eye of the ice alone, who would cartel go down the middle of the ice against us, oh crap, Strome just did."

– Canada wants you lot to know that even though they are down a goal still, they have no intentions of tightening up in the defensive zone. Slovakia getting a lot of chances, but Subban holding the fort. Canada scrambling a lot in their own zone. Once more, my years every bit a Canucks fan has trained me for moments like these.
– Strome looking expert out there, sets up a squeamish chance in front end, merely whistle diddled for a "pucker violation". What does this hateful? In international hockey rules, if a foot goes in the crease, the play is called dead. While I understand it's intentions to protect the goalies, I freaking Detest this rule. While Canada had a mini breakaway, it was blown dead because a Canadian role player at the side of the net had a skate lace in the crease. Sigh.
– Rattie gets a breakaway! And he shoots high! I have done that motility a million times in NHL '13, I feel your pain Rattie.
– Camara but KILLED a Slovakian with a huge hit. Ref doesn't call for a penalty, stretcher is on the ice. Role player is bleeding from the nose. Patrik Luza is the role player downwards right at present. Refs are talking near the hit. I believe a couple of "f bombs" snuck into the broadcast from the on ice microphones from the Slovakians.
– Five minutes and a game handed out to Camara. Alrighty so. No penalization on the play, but the guy looked hurt, so they hand out five minutes? Yay? Go ready to spotter the replay of that hitting over and over and over again for the side by side two days. That striking will exist the Canadian Club commercial of hockey replays. Speaking of replays, here information technology is!

– TSN saying that five minute and a game majors e'er accept a suspension go with them in the Junior tournament. And then at this rate Canada should have effectually v players playing against Russia on New Years Eve.
– Boom Yakupov called Canada a "dirty" team before the tournament started. He is going to have a field day with this game.
– Canada called for a penalisation. 5 on iii at present. Subban making some good saves. I go on waiting for Slovakia to score so I tin brainstorm to weep quietly. The Bilbo Baggins player well-nigh- ok, there it is. three-one Slovakia now. *begins to cry*
[View:http://www.youtube.com/scout?v=KmsaoUgLdco]
– Canada gets their token make up call penalty, huzzah! 4-4 for 25 seconds until Canada gets a shortened power play that they will try to throw away. Aye, I might be getting contemptuous at this point.
– Canada gets some other makeup call equally Dougie Hamilton falls in a dramatic fashion and draws another penalty. five on 3 for Canada.
– RIELLY SCORES! Fast and furious action here in this catamenia. Nuge and Hubes Express does non discriminate, as they assist ready Morgan Reilly to score a goal. 3-ii now! Mark Scheifele is a bit jealous and idea Nuge and Hubes wanted to take him to the dance, but he fully supports the Rielly goal.
[View:http://www.youtube.com/sentinel?v=GhCh39CY7kA]
– Canada looking good on the power play here, as Rielly is starting to milkshake rattle and gyre out at that place.
– I am so pitiful for saying "shake, rattle, and roll".
– Canada starting to lay down on the ice every time they get hit. This is called adapting to IIHF rules, as the refs seem to reward players lying on the ice.
– Speaking of that, Canada gets a powerplay as Mark Scheifele draws two minutes for falling down from a "cantankerous check". I'm quoting that because it wasn't so much a cross check as it was a stern nudging. Should yous call a punishment for Scheifele falling to the water ice? Shouldn't this become under the "Mason Raymond" rule where it's unfair to call a penalty for him falling to the water ice? Scheifele makes Mason Raymond look like a tank on his feet.
– Ty Rattie scores speedily on the powerplay! Think of a backstairs play with nobody effectually a player, and a giant open net just begging to be scored on, and that would be the goal Rattie simply scored. Squeamish gear up for the goal. Gord Miller screamed "TY RATTIE, TIE GAME" and part of me died inside.
[View:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDgnVkDeJoc]
– Slovakian goalie starting to do the "Oh crap, did that shot go in?" head turn after every shot. This pleases me.
– According to TSN, Malcom Subban has yet to brand a save nevertheless. (Thanks to Adam Pyde for pointing that out.)
– Diving in full strength. Slovaian player barrel rolled twice, pulling off the vaunted 720 dive yous don't often meet nowadays. Or else he was on fire and was merely trying to put out the flames.
– Mark Scheifele tips in a point shot! 4-3 Canada now! What a period! No chance for the Slovak goaltender on that one. Ray Ferraro is beaming well-nigh the effort of Scheifele this game.
[View:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfPZNzgKEEE]
2nd Period Intermission
– This is basically me waiting for the Canadian Social club commercial and screaming and running from the room.
– Bob McKenzie going over how Rielly is crawly. I desire to deny this, as he is a Leafs prospect, but damn it, Rielly HAS been awesome.
– Canucks fans starting to think up trade scenarios where Rielly comes back in whatever potential Luongo trade. "No, I said RIELLY before, not Kadri. Y'all must accept heard me incorrect." – Mike Gillis, in about 2 hours.
– CANADIAN Gild COMMERCIAL! NOOOO *runs out of room*
– TSN'due south random songs they play over the 30 second interruption highlights are becoming one of my favorite parts of the broadcast. The latest song was just a generic rock song with some singer screaming every couple of seconds or so. They are so random and out of place, information technology'due south awesome.
– Ray Ferraro gets to brag nigh Scheifele some more. So much and then he is now commending Scheifele's power to draw a penalization by diving. "Good diving" should never be celebrated.
Third Menstruation
– Subban starts things out by ninja boot a elementary shot into the slot. Luckily nobody was there to collect the rebound. Collecting the rebound sounds so quaint.
– Nugent Hopkins simply scored an erection inducing goal. I would have killed to hear Pierre McGuire'south reaction to that goal. He basically made a motility that I would never have had the thought to endeavor in a meg years. Squeamish slick move in shut, makes information technology five-3 Canada. Oh god, cyberspace, I dear you lot, yous already have the highlight up on YouTube. *unmarried tear slides down face*
[View:http://world wide web.youtube.com/lookout?5=wX4vFzkcN7M]
– Pretty sure this was Pierre McGuire's reaction to that Hopkins goals.
– STROME PATROL. Ryan Strome gets a slick breakaway pass from Wotherspoon and Strome slips a goal in five hole. 6-three Canada at present. Drouin pointing out the wide open up Strome should exist worth an aid, come on. Canada in cruise command now. Canada fans, you tin stop drinking, this one looks to be locked up.
[View:http://www.youtube.com/watch?5=2dG1fEkPNUo]
– Subban makes a save just looks dislocated and scared making it. He is even so finding his groove methinks.
– You lot might observe less clarification almost this third catamenia. This is due to fatigue, and the fact Canada is just grinding this game out.
– Strome takes a penalty for tripping. He basically barbarous down and swung his stick out and took out a Slovak. Yes, I am over describing this penalty, since this game is most likely over, and so I am trying to brand this 3rd menstruum recap sound more heady and in depth.
– I but wrote down "Canucks" instead of Canada….sleep beckons me….. Canada killing off the penalisation well hither. Slovakia moving that puck around nicely, but Bagins appears to have gone invisible out in that location. Oh Bilbo, off on some other adventure, are you?
– eight minutes left in the game. Pretty much over at this bespeak. Gord Miller will probably beginning talk about knitting soon.
– Scheifele fell down 30 times while I wrote that last sentence. Ray Ferraro is proudly talking about Scheifele playing a "human'southward game" today. I think I heard him hold back a few tears there.
– Canada chosen for icing on the penalisation kill. That's all you lot need to know almost the reffing in this game.
– Canada killed off the penalisation. TSN taking to showing a agglomeration of Canadians in the crowd now. We have officially reached the "the game is over, let's prove a bunch of fans reaction shots" moment.
– Canada just dominating puck possession at this point, grinding the game downwardly.
– I just ate a grape. That was the most exciting thing to happen in the last five minutes.
– Nate MacKinnon but did a sick dangle on a Slovak behind the net. Slips it through the guys anxiety then gets a shot on net. Saved by the Slovak, but information technology was still a dainty move. Yes, it was more exciting than the grape I ate. Sadly, due to the fact he didn't score on the play, he didn't go his ain YouTube video. Them'south the rules, kid, you lot need to score to get the YouTube videos.
– Game over! Canada takes this one 6-3!
– Ministry of Silly Walks merely occurred… the army members walking out for the player of the game celebrations did a walk that John Cleese did in that Monty Python sketch, I swear….
– Actor of the game for Canada and Slovakia are up at present. I will telephone call Strome for Canada. For Slovakia I want information technology to be Bagins considering I like his name.
– Dano gets player of the game for Slovakia since apparently getting ii goals is rated higher than having an awesome Lord of the Rings sounding name. Scheifele gets actor of the game for Canada, thus proving I should never pick players of the game.
– And before I can scramble for the remote, the Canadian Club commercial comes on one more time. I will take that as a practiced sign to caput to bed. Practiced game from Canada. I nonetheless have questions about their defence, every bit they looked sloppy at the best of times, and Subban looks nervous in internet, he is overplaying well-nigh of his shots, but at least Canada'south criminal offense is looking solid. Should exist interesting to see what happens in regards to potential suspensions that will most likely be headed Canada'south way. We shall run into!
– And again, if you fabricated it through this entire narrative, I take my lid off to you! I will come across yous at the next game!
