Gibson 5+20, deserved.

Gibson 5+20, deserved.

What did he do and on who?

 

[Czechboy]

Dare I watch 30 more minutes of this?

This is what being a fan of Czech hockey feels like.lol

 

[ozo]

Watch out for Eisermann.. all he does is score!

Who is that? Thrift store version of Yzerman?

You'll know soon enough! I'm guessing top 5 next draft.

Elbowing to the head.

Elbowing to the head.

On? Injury?

 

[SoundAndFury]

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

They did, they did. Only team to beat the champions, therefore actual pseudo-champions

 

[Pandaman11]

Wait, what?? It's not like Canada has a group of Junior B 4th-liners

 

[theslatcher]

On? Injury?

Wikman, he's on the ice again.

 

[theslatcher]

End score: 8-0 Sweden, could've been 9 with Kangas' shorthanded break but alas.

 

[EK47]

Wikman, he's on the ice again.

Good that he’s back on the ice hopefully no injury.

Is this the worst loss for Canada in an U18 tournament?

Who's the team captain?

 

[Czechboy]

12-1 is better than 8-0... would've been funny is Sweden got to 11.lol

I expect both teams in final 4 in a week. The loss means very little to Canada.

Sweden may actually be the best U18 nation in the last 2 years.

I don't think Czechs, Germans or Slovaks are going to enjoy those 2 games at all.

First USA goal had all 3 points picked up by '06s (this is the '05 age group tournament) with Cole Eiserman from James Hagens and Cole Hutson. Hype Hype Hype.

Surprised Dybal isn't the backup?

 

[WarriorofTime]

End score: 8-0 Sweden, could've been 9 with Kangas' shorthanded break but alas.

Ugly loss, but with 4 out of 5 teams qualifying and weaker opponents in the rest of the group, it doesn't actually matter. Winning the group is pretty meaningless more often than not.

Thanks for sharing! May I ask one more question? How do you tell the difference between "ch" and "h" in Czech pronunciation? They sound very similar

I'm sorry, not fully understanding? Example?

If Czechs want a 'k' sound, they use a K. The C is a 'ch'. Using a popular name.. Jakub. That is phonetically perfect in Czech. But Jacob would be pronounced 'Ya-CH-ub'.

Is this the worst loss for Canada in an U18 tournament?

Indeed it is.

They have a pair of 10-3 losses against the US, but this is the first time they lose by more than 7, and first time they get shutout while allowing more than 5.
