Czechia:

Kachlir will probably be the youngest player in the tournament.

Ye think last time was a broken thumb and this time a concussion. He was just getting back on track in j20 after the thumb injury.

The tourney will be streamed on Sweden's streaming service: SvenskHockey.tv

Stockselius centering Stenberg-Klingsell, Novotny not playing today, Lindgren 7D. With that in mind everybody should be able to easily predict the lineup.

SWE - USA (Line Up)

Frondell & Björck putting in work in special teams.

Not often you see the US U18 team getting schooled like this…

 

[theslatcher]

The US just has no answer against Sweden, felt like they were saved by the bell at the end there. Their PP players will have nightmares of Sweden's PK tonight.

The Americans will blame this on "we had a C team " .

The Americans will blame this on "we had a C team " .

Is that true? I assumed they sent the NTDP team.

 

[Predatore]

Having both Björck and Frondell on the man advantage feels like cheating

Its the NDTP.

 

[Eye of Ra]

So no ushl players. Its really their c team then

Relax. No need to be a sore winner.

No one is making any excuses. Sweden got the best of the USA in this game. The USA also beat Sweden in November.

I’m sure they’ll have a battle at the World Championships.

Most Swedes had good games, obviously. Thought Ihs Wozniak looked speedier than usual. Liked what I saw from Theo Stockselius. Wonder how high he will end up in the draft.

For the U.S. I liked Cole McKinney. Was a bit surprised when I looked him up and saw most scouting outlets had him in the second round and not the first. Oh well, just a 1-game look.. but thought he had something extra.
