Wow, brutal that you have to pay 30 euros for a U18 tournament, especially for a European with a +7 hour timezone difference, meaning you'll only be able to catch a handful of games at most. Good thing alternatives exist because jeez. Zero chance I'd pay for that.
 
The picture quality in the Russia-Finland game is like from the 90's... Or dial-up. And I'm watching on tv!

Wait, are they actually using a US site (HockeyTV) stream on TV???

Yep hockeytv potato quality and the american announcer voice in backround... hopefully medal rounds atleast will have tsn broadcast quality
 
Have all games had this bad quality or is it a case where there is 1 location with HD and one with this 90s look
 
Jesus Vilén is so sloppy with his puckhandling. Lots of finns with a sloppy stick, sloppy passes etc. Disappointed. Russian players look a bit tired after the long game yesterday.
Suomi, Vilén, Malinen etc need to step up their game big time.

It's not that unexpected with the uneven preparation we've had. Some players have not played much recently.

Yeah I hear you, but still not impressed at all. Too sloppy and the organization is nowhere to be found. Russia had a big game yesterday as well, so that should be in favor for us. That's why I expect a bit more.
 
We aren't very active in defense. 2nd game in less than 24 hours makes it hard. Still, we're winning.
Russia is playing very sound defensively as a group. Finland likes to give the puck to one guy, and he tries to get through the Russian team himself. Really like one of the Finn D men. Right shot. Very smart. Moves the puck.
 
Michkov should not treat his line mates like that if they don't give him the puck (see last PP Russia). Especially, if he is the youngest on the team. Don't like it at all. No respect for his line mates. Maybe all his success got to his head.
