U18: 2021 WJC18

[Daximus]

Too soon to say I think Canada is winning the Hlinka?lol

Good chance. This team will have similar players, a few will age out by then though. Guaranteed Wright and Bedard are on that team if healthy.

 

[Czechboy]

Another PP for Russia... they really need to score on one of these and soon if they want a chance!

 

[jj cale]

Playing very well defensively but wheres the pressure on offense?

Russian p.p.

 

[Boonk]

Good chance. This team will have similar players, a few will age out by then though. Guaranteed Wright and Bedard are on that team if healthy.

If there's a World Junior summer camp or showcase, Bedard and Wright will be there instead.

 

[Dominance]

Sorry, but this is a joke. Both teams are playing hard. That was a penalty. But that exact play has happened a dozen times. f***ing call them on both sides and don’t manage the games.

 

[Brucelenok]

Okay Russians HAVE TO score now otherwise no chance

 

[John Agar]

Another PP for Russia... they really need to score on one of these and soon if they want a chance!

Your earlier question... Yes too early...

 

[Czechboy]

Good job by Russia but that was a weird sequence...

 

[Dominance]

This is absolutely absurd. What the f*** is this?

The Russians beside the net are holding the Canadians in place.

 

[landy92mack29]

BTW.. is this basically team Canada sends to Hlinka in a few months? Assumign it happens? Toss in a few Q guys?

all 2021 draft guys will age out of that so no.

 

[smokes lets go]

bound to happen, cant be giving russia 5 powerplays.

 

[snipes]

Pretty soft call considering that brutal interference against Canada that wasn’t called.

 

[jj cale]

There it is.

Needed to get out of that we are happy to just try to suck the pucks out mindset, wake up call hopefully.

Commentator "I see nothing wrong"

Meanwhile #8 for Russia is literally holding down a Canadian player beside the net with the puck nowhere near.

 

[Czechboy]

Strange goal.. gorgeous shot by the Russian... shots are even and 1 goal apart. I imagine next PP goes to Canada...

 

[Hanji]

And another point for Michkov. Good lord.

 

[Fantomas]

Michkov has 1 + 2, while coach's brilliant first and second liners have done nothing (so far).

 

[habsrule4eva3089]

Another doooooozy finish coming up.

Canada has just stopped playing the entire third period. It's almost inevitable Russia ties it if this keeps up.

 

[canuck2010]

the old prevent defence that never works, you go with what got you there

 

[Brucelenok]

Honestly I didn't expect that Russians would have an advantage over Canadians in terms of shots, pressure etc. But so far they do

 

[jj cale]

Totally soft pressure by Canada in the offensive zone, that's crap.

 

[canuck2010]

lets play some 5 on 5 hockey now

 

[Czechboy]

I'm going to state the obvious here... Canada needs to take control and push for the 5th goal. They have 4 lines of gamebreakers... don't wait for Russia to tie it and get a bigger lead!

 

[habsrule4eva3089]

Wright is missing explosiveness in his skating.

He seems to be like Tavares like. Insane brain, slow feet.

 

[John Agar]

Buch'in'ekov...

Krutov like move...

Nice...
