U18: GDT WJC quarterfinals

[Hockeyfrilla]

Sweden wins 4-2.

Shame... I mean, sweden was better but we took too many penalties, didn't kill them, didn't score on our rare powerplays... it's just a classic loss. The final 4 minutes had the Swedes playing keep away and eventually scoring an empty netter. Just so many stupid penalties.

 

[Star Ocean]

Terrible game by sweden.

 

[Dominance]

This was the worst game I’ve ever seen ANY Team Canada ever play. Just embarrassing. We’re incredibly lucky we drew an opponent who simply doesn’t have the skill to convert.

Imagine giving up 40 shots to Latvia. Absolute joke.

and I just looked it up... Slovakia lost.. I don't want them relegated! C'mon!

Swedes play Canada if they win.

Right, maybe 60-40 then.

Holmström had a great game.

Max wahlgren doesnt impress me.

39 shots on Canada? That's unprecedented by Team Latvia at U18 or U20.

In regulation, I imagine that’s pretty much unprecedented for many teams.

Max wahlgren doesnt impress me.

He looked terrible on the GA. Giving away the puck trying to be fancy on the blue line fine, it's the U18s, it happens. But to not backcheck hard and even glide back to leave Muzik with an easy goal is just awful.
