U18: Day 1 of the U18s GDT

[Czechboy]

In case anyone wants to discuss the games. For instance, the Canada vs Sweden game is probably not going how our Canuck or Swedish posters thought it would!

Czechs and Slovaks will be emotional and close.

I expect 2 comfortable win for Finland and USA... their big fear is a weaker pool and staying sharp for a nasty crossover.

I didn't watch it but I just can't believe the CAN-SWE 1st period. 5 goals allowed by us? Really?

good play balancing the lines with putting Hagens and Eiserman with vote to put some depth in the forward lineup

This is what happens when you play like the Toronto Maple Leafs

Pure skill-wise, Canada looks to be the better team, but Canada is playing like this is their first time on the ice together.

 

[jj cale]

Dare I watch 30 more minutes of this?

 

[theslatcher]

Very back-and-forth now with good chances from both ends of the ice.

Can we get the rosters for these teams posted?

Panic alarm set and the 1st game is not even over yet.
Chill-out bro it is only U18 WJC hockey.

You guys have 3 games left before quarterfinals so that means lots of time to get better.
But i have to ask is missing Bedard truly so huge hit Canada cannot show their best immediately?
It is only a Sweden not USSR red machine.

Anyone know what teams GM’s/Head scouts are at the game? Usually the broadcast shows NHL people in the crowd

 

[STL fan in MN]

Only got to watch parts of the 1st as I was busy but man did Canada look discombobulated in the little I saw.

For those able to actually watch it with focus, were there any players from either side that stuck out, good or bad?

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Latvia really hanging tough.

Will Smith has not been good in the 1st period and I say that as a huge fan.

Not sure which games he’ll be attending but Doug Armstrong said in an interview he was going to this tourney for a scouting trip.

Yeah a lot of GM’s have committed to going, I know Montreal Front office mentioned it. But usually they show them in the crowd so was kinda just wondering who was at which games and such.

Latvia outshooting USA 11-5, both NA teams look dead. Game time must have something to do with it.

Didn’t the Latvians beat Sweden last tourney? Either way they look impressive today, have a game plan and are executing it

My condolences to Latvia.

I know that we are not leading, but I just wanted to post this while I have a chance.

They smoked us 9-2 a couple of days ago. Keep it under a touchdown! Watch out for Eisermann.. all he does is score!

Sandin-Pelikka with 5 points.

Slovakia lines vs Czechia. Jakub Chromiak is still sick, won’t play, huge loss.
