WJC: 2025 WJC U20 Division I Group A

[SoundAndFury]

16 year old Aaram-Olsen has two goals.,

He is also at almost PPG in Swedish juniors so yeah, a real talent.

 

[SoundAndFury]

This is going to be a pretty interesting tournament. None of the weak teams were helpless and none of the good ones have dominated. Other than this obvious separation into two groups, hard to tell who is who any deeper than that.

 

[Fjorden]

16 year old Aaram-Olsen has two goals.,

1 goal and 1 ass for Mikkel Eriksen also, 17 years old. Both will play u18 wc next year.

Those two Aaram Olsen and Eriksen will be interesting to see in the u18 WC in April in Frisco, USA.

Doesn't look like any of the usual spots have France - Hungary stream, do they?

[SoundAndFury]

Thank you. I don't know if I'm blind and just missed it or it didn't start on time or what happened here.

 

[SoundAndFury]

Hungary, unless I'm missing something, just have nothing going for them. A competitive team that will be able to give a fight but really the only way they can win is by wanting it more and all those cliches.

Yesterday I was afraid I was missing something. Today, however, you can't fault their effort, they are trying but the class just isn't there. Maybe fatigue also is getting to their goalie who had an excellent game yesterday but I think it's not too harsh to say is a bit out of it today.

The game is basically over after the first period and France's top players didn't even have to do much of anything.

I am just tuning in. 4-2 now. Goalie out time late in the 3rd.

Empty netter - 5-2

He's here. Likely to get heavy scrutiny from opposing check lines and top D which is not new for him at this level.

It's not an easy situation to play in. Basically stepping out of the plane onto the ice, no practices, no chemistry (other than some possible carryover from previous tournaments back in the day), extremely heavy workload. You expect him to have an impact, especially in the critical games, but "domination" isn't really in the cards.

Texier, Bokk, Bjorkstrand, Protas, Rossi, Molgaard have all scored 5-8 points in the tournament before.

0 points against Slovenia in the first game as well.

 

[Namejs]

Norway looking disjointed and not close to the favorites I expected them to be.

Refs calling fouls on every flop leads to dumb flops…

 

[Ein Gnot in Not]

Biber out after check
Hope he´s back at next game.

 

[kabidjan18]

He came back in. Which…I hope he had a real doctor check him out before he did.

 

[PanniniClaus]

2-1 Austria heading to the third. I plan to watch the final frame.

Highlights show Oschgan on his game.

 

[SoundAndFury]

Was it Nygard with that hit? That did look heavy.

Anyway, Norway really tilted the ice in the 2nd, interesting 3rd coming up.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Pressure is on now. O-zone draw perfectly executed.

suprised does austria even have any drafted people

Gregor Biber... big d man plays in the SHL.

They have some decent players that will carve out careers in the Ice Hockey league at least.

 

[SoundAndFury]

They have 2 versus Norwegian 3.

 

[PanniniClaus]

They have 2 versus Norwegian 3.

right - Vasili Zelenov as well.

 

[SoundAndFury]

If given a month to prepare and 7 game series, Norway would probably win it but under current circumstances on this day, you just have to congratulate Austria on winning fair and square.

 

[Heia Norge]

Poor and patetic effort from our team today.
Fair play to Austria. They played well, surely they can smell promotion now.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Biber looks like a player that could play in the NHL if he keeps developing.
