GDT: 2025 U18's

[Maverick41]

This is not the German team that played against the USA - they look really tight and nervous.

Yes, but also credit to the Slovaks, they are all over our boys. Never giving them a moment to breathe. And that's exactly what you have to do. If they let up a little bit, this German team can hurt you, but if you keep the pressure on, they will struggle all day.

Stuhrmann is doing well though. At least so far.

Lisy could be moving up the scouts' lists after this tournament

Also great game so far by Radivojevič.

Are the Slovak 07s considered very good? TSN said a bunch played in last years tournament as well.

I think 8 or 10 players played last year. And got 4th place.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Slovaks are ruling the faceoff dot.

it's definitely one of our better vintages. Not as good as 04 and 05, but miles ahead of 06

Slovakia needs to score some goals because Germany will wake up eventually

 

[Maverick41]

The second period starts off a bit more even.

 

[Maverick41]

I don't think it's possible to beg any harder to get scored on.
Well deserved for Slovakia to finally take the lead. We have no business still being in this game.

Especially disappointed with the first line. The other three lines at least look like they are trying. The first line not so much.

 

[theslatcher]

Wahlund in for Vass again. Coach is wack.

 

[kudla]

Germans are getting schooled. Terrific for them to be down by only 1

I am extremely disappointed with the way they have played. Perhaps they throw caution to the wind and go for it in the 3rd.

1st line is not a high motor group, at least not in this event. Talent but don't seem to want to work for it.

pretty dissapointed by Lewandowski and Griva brothers, i thought they are "next" big talents coming out of Germany after a while and they are schooled by some of our next year draft eligibles.

but its one game and i dont really know how they performed overall in this toutnament so far.

Not that level like Draisaitl or Stutzle but still good players

If they score in the third I blame you

well of course, but this draft class looks pretty good, definitely your best since 2020 and maybe even slightly better in depth i would say, so this is really dissapointing showing so far.

Germany playing like- We are fine with DEL salaries.
Slovakia- We want to go to the NHL.

Slovakia traditionally produces more depth year to year.

 

[Maverick41]

Unless the Slovaks go full LA Kings on us, this is pretty much over.

[PanniniClaus]

Credit to Slovakia - great game and really had they finished a few more, would be a true blowout.

 

[Maverick41]

Too little, too late, but nice to get another goal. And it's Penkin, that just makes it better.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Pretty telling how Reimer feels.. bottom 6 on the ice.

 

[PanniniClaus]

That was insane..
