U18: 2021 WJC18

[snipes]

This is just embarrassing for Sweden looks like an OHL team playing a bad junior B team

I’m a diehard international hockey fan and supporter, and I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen Sweden so thoroughly defeated.

Like they don’t even look like they’re in the same universe.

Thank God Dean, Bolduc, L'Heureux and Malatesta couldn't go.

Canada really needs them along with Lambos and Sillinger

I agree it looks more like Canada is playing a 7th or 8th seed team than Sweden

Yup.

Wright with the hat trick shorthanded lol

8-0

 

[Eternal Leaf]

Shane Wright is treating this like it's a walk in the park.

 

[flashsabre]

Wright hasn’t played all season he has some points to make up

 

[peconcan]

I know it’s abit stupid to even talk about but where does everyone think Wright would have went in the 2020 draft?

That was a beautiful shot.

Yeah, this kid is going to be an absolute superstar.

He goes #1 OA in this draft if he was eligible for it. Consensus #1 if he was eligible.

 

[Lambo]

Germany very snappy.

 

[peconcan]

Good chance he sets the record for most points in the tournament ever for playing 1 year anyway.

1st for sure

Look at the remaining teams in division, Canada is running the Swedes out of the building. Just think what we’re going to do against Latvia, Belarus, and Switzerland. Could get real ugly.

None of the other teams are big 6 hockey nations.

This team Canada is absolutely stacked as well with a lot of guys fresh and playing with something to prove.

 

[flashsabre]

Can anyone sell me on Edvinsson? Every time I watch him I see a big kid who skates well but can’t think the game AT ALL. I would be terrified if my team spent a high pick on this kid.

 

[habsrule4eva3089]

It's ludicrous Canada has two players of the calibre of Wright and Bedard in back to back draft years.

Two insanely special players.

Team Canada 2026 will be stacked lol.

Yeah exactly what I was thinking... I know Hughes is the all time leader but he played 2 years what’s the record for points in 1 year?

 

[Eternal Leaf]

1st in 2020. 1st in 2021. 1st in 2022.

This is a stud franchise center that plays like a machine on both ends of the ice.

Brayden Yager isn't far behind Bedard either and to get the Finns going Lambert is half Canadian

Kucherov had 21 in 7 games is the record.

Beautiful shot by McTavish.

9-0

It doesn’t even look like Canada is going full out, playing Latvia Belarus and Swiss is going to just be stupid if they don’t let off...

 

[snipes]

10-0 Canada.

Clarke with his 2nd goal and 4th point (maybe he has more hard to keep track?)

 

[Starry Knight]

Othmann has really opened my eyes, love the way he plays. He’s a big physical winger as well with some skill. Looks taller than the 6’0 he’s listed at, looks closer to the 6’1 - 6’2 range.

The Oilers should definitely target him if Cossa is gone.

He was much smaller last year. I am floored at what a different player he looks like now stylistically.

 

[Castle8130]

Shane Wright is too good to be in this tournament, Canada should win this tournament handedly.

 

[Czechboy]

So the docket had

Canada vs Sweden
Russia vs Finland
Belarus vs Swiss
US vs Germany

I figured there would be 2 close games and 2 blowouts.

I just didn't think it'd be Belarus blowing out Switzerland, Canada blowing out Sweden and the Germans keeping it close with the US. Crazy night in Texas!

 

[snipes]

11-1 Canada now.

The Swedes are just totally overmatched. Wow, I expected Canada to win but not like this.

 

[peconcan]

Have we ever seen 3 kids from the same Minor Midget team all play top line minutes on Canada before?
