2025 World Junior Championship discussion thread

It's normal because it's Junior hockey, but this is a good reminder how far apart NHL teams are in power, execution and speed

Good reminder about not overrating high producing prospects

A lot of perimeter play by Canada. All tourney. If you’re going to shoot the low percentage shot drive the net. It’s hard to watch.

Let the great poker game of 2024/2025 begin.

Leonard just took a dumb penalty to end that period either roughing or unsportsmanlike.

Canada begins the 3rd on PP.

Overall they played a much better game in the 2nd. Skated hard & went to the net. Can't seem to score like at all. Every chance seems to be either wide, or hits someone in front, or it's a muffin shot. Augustine has made maybe 4 good saves.

Shots are 26-18 Canada, but George has had a lot of traffic in front of him & has made some tough, tough saves.
 
Great tempo to this game. But Canada cannot score. They didn’t select enough skill for this tourney and they took several dumb Pims that period which killed any momentum

They’re also facing very hot goaltending all tournament. Which makes sense as one of the favourites

Augustine has been terrible this tournament until tonight.
