2022 Hlinka Gretzky Cup

Rehkopf is quietly having himself a great tournament.
He hasn’t been afraid to go into corners and is has been a hound in the corners, is making smart plays all over the ice.

I love him, he should get picked real high IMO.

 

[ORRFForever]

What have we gone now without a penalty being called, 10 minutes?


We're on a roll.

Ha, ha. Never thought about it.

As soon as you posted it... penalty.

 

[Dominance]

Holy f*** boys, it’s not that important to finish a check.

Bjarnasson has been fantastic despite super long stretches with no action.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

I love him, he should get picked real high IMO.

I think he may be this years McTavish. He has a great motor, big, skates well and plays a power game.

 

[ORRFForever]

It's not from a lack of trying but Canada is not sharp.

100% on all counts, he's a player.

It's not from a lack of trying but Canada is not sharp.

It's been a better period for them though.

 

[Mikeshane]

So few people there, I hope Hockey Canada aren't overcharging.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

What a defensive play on that 2 on 1 by Price - play goes the other way and Allen scores a goal.

 

[ORRFForever]

So few people there...

Yup. We could/should do better.

 

[Dominance]

Look at that patience by Cristall. Clinical in backing off the defense and taking all the space available to him instead of making a pass just because. Sky is the limit for that kid.

 

[jj cale]

Forget the goal, the defensive play by Price previous is the highlight for me.

 

[ORRFForever]

So...

Whoever wins between the U.S. and Czechia advances with the Fins, right?

 

[FourQuarters]

What a long shift for him…

 

[Dominance]

Forget the goal, the defensive play by Price previous is the highlight for me.

How about Allen demolishing the forward attempting a breakout and then using his wheels to get up in the action and capitalize on the rebound?

Price is great but Allen is the only defenseman with a snowball’s chance in hell at being a top-5 pick in this crazy stacked draft.

I think that’s the difference between a casual fan and a fanatic. Guys like you and me notice, and appreciate the defensive play more than the “boring” goal.

Yeah, that was pretty sweet too.

Can't wait for the World Juniors. Will be so much fun.

Humour me, boys...

I'm not up on that stuff, sorry man.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Barley to Heidt, his second of the night.

 

[jj cale]

Great work by Barkey there

 

[ORRFForever]

I'm not up on that stuff, sorry man.

No worries. Thanks, anyway.

The Hlinka site does not have the standings updated. I think the Fins advance, plus the winner of the U.S. and Czechia.

 

[jj cale]

Gauthier sure is a lot more light on his feet then his dad was.

 

[ORRFForever]

10-0 canada

You are getting close.

 

[Alberta tough]

Humour me, boys...

Yes
