Looks like a great opportunity for the Czechs to get smoked at home! I'm going to U18's this year in Michigan so hoping this U18 team is good.

No Niederbach nor Olausson. Niederbach is weirder because they have a total of 3 RH skaters on that roster. Johannesson is back in action, though!

That d-core is a thing of beauty!

Built like a tank.

No Niederbach is interesting. I haven't seen Lias Andersson's brother play but I hope he's not given this opportunity for other reasons than his actual play.

Olausson got a fracture in his hand. Might miss the remainder of this season. Big blow.

Great Finnish team.

Interesting that Jurmo is with the U20 instead of this one, while Liiga players like Niemelä and Viro are playing.

No Oliver Suni?

No Oliver Suni?

None of the CHL players are playing.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Are all those players 2020 draft eligible except for Raty, Lambert, Miettinen and Tuomaala?

Juusola is 2021 eligible as 2003 born. Liukas is late 2002 so 2021 eligible too.

Helenius is late 02 as well.

Niederbach is on the team now. Looks like Robertsson is out.

Watched the whole SWE-RUS game yesterday. Russia clearly dominating, exacerbated by the flow Russian teams sometimes get when getting an early lead.

Clear difference in average "skill"-level (which is of course often the case when playing Russia in juniors, the team composition philosophies are just different), but more worrying that the Swedes got killed in the neutral zone with Russia getting the controlled entries and the Swedes mostly dumping/losing the puck.

Also our defenders looked really slow from time to time - not foot speed but head speed (both with and without the puck). It's very interesting to see for example Wallinder and Grans, who are doing good vs men in SHL/Allsvenskan, being completely waltzed by same-agers.


Lysell (only Swedish underager) did better than I dared to hope for. Maybe he's on his way to break out big time.

The Finnish U18 team is really strong so much talent particularly upfront. should be favourites at the world champs

Two top2 prospects (Räty & Lambert) and plenty potential 1st or 2nd rounders. Hirvonen, Simontaival, Tuomaala, Järventie..
