HF Habs: 2025 World Junior Championship discussion thread

I just missed the panel who were they sending best wishes to??

Team Canada’s Heart Transplant doctors. They figure they’re in for a busy time.

McKenna is most likely going to be a great player but I wouldn't compare him to McDavid.

This Canadian game is so bad, but the score keep us on the show. Fair enough!

Canada is struggling hard getting the puck inside. Everything is from the perimeter.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

That was a penalty. Pinelli. 2 minutes holding.

PP Latvia.

Sheesh... just came back home and it's only 1-0 into the third... Are they trying for a perfect play or just not trying hard enough?

Latvia is doing a great job boxing Canada out of the slot & they're getting good goaltending. A lot of perimeter play by Canada.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Penalty killed.

Ultimately, Colorado didn't take Edstrom, although Edstrom & Wahlberg were definitely players I wanted at those picks.

Colorado took Mikhail Gulyayev (LD), a small-ish speedster on D then traded the 2nd to TB for Colton, who is 4 years older, makes $2m more & puts up comparable numbers to Newhook. He is better defensively, though.

TB took Gauthier, who doesn't look like he'll be an NHLer.

Frankly, I think it's a wash. I would have liked to have kept the picks and pick Edstrom & Wahlberg, but at the time I thought it was a decent risk to take.

Sorry but that is a tough statement. Gauthier is an incredible player who sacrifices alot of offense in the name of being an excellent 200 foot player. Already plays a pro game in junior. Not a coincidence that about half of the Voltigeurs team has greatly increased their production being around him. He will be a great top 6 complimentary player in the NHL.

That was .... close? In? No! Off post & back to Latvia goalie.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Under review ...

 

[MarkovsKnee]

It's definitely not in.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

It's on the goal line not across.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

No goal.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Shots 40-16 Canada.

 

[Whitesnake]

A game that means nothing. We often saw Canada take it easy against those teams and looking much better against tougher teams....but....and to be honest in has nothing to do with the lack of Habs prospects...that Canada team is just meh. There's just no great interesting players aside from McKenna. And if Schaefer miss more games..here goes your most interesting back end.

Also...it's time to have Russia back.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Never seen so many poor passes in a game

 

[MarkovsKnee]

PK Canada. They're reviewing for a highstick. It could be 4 or 5 minutes.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

It's an elbow.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

.... to the head, too.

 

[The Real Timo]

How can they possible think it's a major? Elbowing penalty at best.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

2 minutes for elbowing to Gibson. PP Latvia.

 

[Fatbiggie]

Lol 1-1

 

[MD thaivuN]

lmao

 

[Whitesnake]

Wow....Mateiko my favorite Latvian!
