GDT: 2025 World Juniors Championship (Slukynsky, George, Dvorak)

[Schrute farms]

I would be shocked if Team USA didn't have Augustine in goal for the knock-out rounds. He's just a fantastic goaltender who has already won a gold-medal on this stage last year, and is just an elite talent who has shown it time and time again (NTDP, Big Ten, WJC)

Maybe so, but Hammer is better than him
If USA wants to win this thing, Hammer should be the guy in net

Slyukynsky vs George in the USA - Canada game.

Hockey Canada continues to get far too cute with it's roster building. Between the tip top of their talent going straight to the NHL and the world getting better, they can't get away with extremely questionable roster building the way they used to. Far too much coach/GM nepotism towards their players and seniority with guys who should be pushed aside. You could seriously argue the players they didn't bring could comprise a better roster

Don't think it's nepotism, it's going with the guys they know well and their capabilities , that they well know.

That's how it is in competitive thing like sports and business.

Nobody is freaking when their team loses it OT in the prelims.

Canada now USA.

I just now realized there is no "T" in the name SLUKYNSKY. I keep using the name "Slut" for short since his name as way too many consonants. Yes, i'm an idiot. I think i need to simply go with Hampton (much easier).

Honesty is appreciated

CG!

Ceeg!

Siege!

Carter George in net, looking solid

 

[Fripp]

Since George was better than Ivankovic and Slukynsky better than Augustine, in the games played, I think George and Slukynsky get a shot to run with it, for each team, if their next games are good.

They both have been better, but I would be shocked to see Hampton in over Augustine at this point.

George with another shut out against Germany for Canada.. stopped 25 shots.

He also got player of the game again

I think you're going to be shocked. Augustine gave up another 4 goals, in the US' only loss. At this point, I expect the Hammer to be in goal.

It’s a short tournament, and it certainly would be wise to ride the hot hand.

My obvious Kings bias aside, it’s not out of the realm of possibility to see him dressed against Canada NYE.

While thinking of Martin Brodeur...

hes already got one in the OHL....

Not trying to derail the thread, and just an fyi, but you may want to look into the Hockey Canada's National Equity Fund and the 2018 Junior team before you take this a stance like this.

I didn’t see the Finland game. What happened there?!?

 

[BringTheReign]

I didn’t see the Finland game. What happened there?!?

USA looked unsettled the whole game. They had some bad puck luck (Perrault put two off the post and there were other missed breakaways/odd-man rushes), but honestly I thought Finland outplayed them.

Yeah, he hasn't been the rock that everyone expected, but knowing the mentality of hockey coaches and their inability to adjust... I'd love to see Hampton in tomorrow.

Lol, I'll get right on it...

Pretty cool that all of Canada loves this kid right now. In the future, dominating them all as a member of the SC Champ Kings, they will loathe him lol

Don't worry, they'll turn on him the moment he doesn't steal a game.

like today. 1-0 USA win and it's all George's fault! lol

 

[chris kontos]

Saint augustine 's about to be excommunicated im afraid

I never thought this guy was that great in the other world jrs hes played in. But i guess the detroit red wings think he is
Carter george is the man

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Hope to see George vs Slukynsky in the nets for Canada and USA

Aren't Perreault and Slukynsky's Fathers Canadian? And their Grandfather's too

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Best rivalry Canada vs USA,c'mon man...its always been Canada vs Russia
