2024-25 World Junior Championships Draft Scoring

[tardigrade81]

Was definitely not expecting this. Overtime. I wanted to shower early tonight. Guess that won't happen

 

[Jumptheshark]

OT against Latvia? WOW

 

[Ritchie Valens]

So uh, is this Latvian goalie draft eligible? Asking for a friend.

 

[tardigrade81]

Wow.

 

[rboomercat90]

Yikes. These forwards can’t score.

 

[ConnorNova0929]

Lol, that shootout was crazy.

 

[Mcnofool6110]

Loss to Latvia?!

Well played by them and their goalie

But a general Canada sized oof

 

[Messrules11]

Somewhat embarrassing

 

[Zerotonine]

Canada looked horrible and unorganized in that overtime

 

[Faelko]

A couple of those attempts were cringe worthy, most notably Cowan….lol

 

[ConnorNova0929]

A couple of those attempts were cringe worthy, most notably Cowan….lol

Straight up acted like a moron during his shot lol

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Where’s Jordan Eberle?

 

[alphahelix]

Actually though, how the hell is Michael Misa not on this team? 30 goals and 31 assists in 30 games at 17 years old? On defence? At this time of year? Isolated entirely in your kitchen?

He’s even bigger than Beau Akey at 6’1.

But really, it seems like the forwards are missing a bit of offensive finish. Pop gun offence. Theres definitely a couple good shooters, but a bunch of guys dont seem too dangerous.

No idea why he got so much ice time in OT either. We left much better players than him at home. Sennecke, Misa, Cristall to name just a few

 

[94 Oil Drops]

Canada actually lost to Latvia.

LMAO!​

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Cameron should be fired before game 3.

 

[The Head Crusher]

Hell has frozen over--Leftovers goalie is starting today

One of the years I was Team Leftovers I had Canada's Backup and he ended up taking over the starter role after game 1.

Hockey will be the top story in latvia today

Eh, TBH, a loss to Latvia is probably good for our chances of winning the tournament.

Over the years, I've found the teams that have some adversity in the Round Robin tend to win more than the teams that roll through it. Just galvanizes a team a little bit, reminds them they have to work just as hard as the team across the rink that usually has an average draft rank 30+ spots lower than them.

I will say though, for a team selected mostly for its grit, 200 ft play, and having role-players for every situation supposedly... I feel like we gave Latvia a lot of good looks and didn't get to the inside literally at all. And you know... the PK looks pretty damn bad.

Makes you kind of wonder why they left a 6'4 power forward known for driving the net that PKs, like Beckett Sennecke, at home...

Wouldn’t it be most days?

 

[Jumptheshark]

Wouldn’t it be most days?

Nope. In Riga more than likely but there is more to Latvia than Riga

 

[AUAIOMRN]

Canada looked so much like we did early the season. Lots of zone control and volume shooting but few good scoring chances.

 

[Jumptheshark]

Meltdown on the main board is fun to read. Some posters just do not understand how much other Countries get up for games against Canada. For them? It is like going up against the cup champions, the Bulls in the 80's and the Yankees--pick a decade. It is the one game they go all out for

Hockey is the number 1 sport in the country.

Hockey is the number 1 sport in the country.

Ten years ago yes without a doubt. But Basketball has closed the gap and passed it in some places
