U18: 2018 U18 WJC's Magnitogorsk & Chelyabinsk Russia.

[Zaddy]

Looks like Sweden is skating in mud out there. No energy.

 

[Zaddy]

Who's in goal for Team Russia? That was a heck of a save.

 

[alko]

Whoa, Sweden looks very disoriented.

You should know, the Russians are accustomed to the radiation level. Swedes not.

 

[TLP]

Kotkaniemi??????????

that was the lineup for today's pre-tournament game. roster could change before tournament starts as more players have become available CHL playoff exits.

[Atas2000]

Games will be streamed on youtube?

Russia's games most defintely. Links to streams are usually on the FHR site.

FHR.ru

 

[Atas2000]

Oulun Kärpät goes to sm liiga finals.
Rasmus Kupari's participation to U18 WJC's looks highly unlikely

They would not release a U18 player?

 

[Atas2000]

Time to clear up some conspiracy theries... and create new ones. Guess this is how it works with them.

Свечников и Хованов вызваны на юниорский ЧМ, но в клубах говорят об их травмах

Svechnikov and Khovanov invited to Team Russia. so there goes the part of a conspiracy theory that Khovanov will be left out. On the other hand Zybin(NT coach) quoted saying there is some shady going about "injuries" to Svechnikov and Khovanov on the CHL side. The way I see it, they played in the playoffs and should be with the NT.

As for Denisenko there is more confusion than before after the new input.

Тренер сборной России (U-18): «Решение не вызывать Денисенко не только наше – оно коллегиальное»

Facts:

Zybin stated that the team doctor has shown him x-rays of Denisenko and that the had a broken collar bone. That was before the MHL finals.

Denisenko does play in the NHL finals now(so what was up with that x-ray?).

Zybin does acknowledge that, but said that maybe the decision(which he is not the decisive part of) was made after all because of the suspension Denisenko has gotten in the previous games which notably happended against St.Petersburg. It is not the first time though for Denisenko to take a major and get suspended(NT game against Slovakia). One may argúe about the extent of discipline here and the real reasons. The way Zybin puts it, he may want Denisenko on the team, but desn't have the decisive vote. So the conspiracy theory about revenge from the SKA brass may live on.

Denisenko most probably not on the team for the WC.

Tough for Sweden if they lose Olofsson when Dahlin, Hallander & Sandin is already out.

Mighty coincidence the top line from the five nations tournament (Denisenko-Khovanov-Svechnikov) who suffered a couple embarrassing losses suddenly are all not available for the u18?

I'm sure this was said tongue in cheek but I have seen the same thing said a few times on these forums and on social media. These kids have lived all or most of their lives in the United States so why would they want to represent another country?

I haven't looked into it but some of these guys may have American mothers. Is national pride only passed down through males bloodlines?

It's up to each player to make the choice they are comfortable with. Not to anyone else, apparently their parents understand it and so should we.

This isn't a trend that is stopping anytime soon either given the attractiveness of USAH's development program and the number of European and Canadian players playing for US teams and having kids while there.

 

[NotProkofievian]

Will there be livestreams for all the games again this year or just for the Russia games (like they did for the U20 4 nations)?

Every team Finland game will be live on Yle. I don't know about others.

 

[VictorLustig]

Don't think any Swedish TV-channel picked up the rights for this tournament. Sweden will be playing games against the US and Canada so streams for those games will probably pop up somewhere.
