Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2019

[jj cale]

Sweden showing signs of life!

4-3 with 7 and change to go.

And a swedish p.p coming up to boot.

 

[jj cale]

There it is.............4 all.

 

[perolofbrasar]

Absolute beauty by Eklund. Why the hell he's at winger is beyond me. Best C on the team.

 

[VictorLustig]

Nybeck has been a big disappointment.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Sweden won in SO.

 

[theslatcher]

Quite the SO goal by Grans.

 

[jj cale]

Sweden takes it in a shootout.

 

[perolofbrasar]

Clutch Ljungman.

 

[PuckProspects]

Would have been very nice to have had Stranges for the SO.....

 

[PuckProspects]

21 on USA looked very good. Best player on the ice

I wouldn't call expecting a bit more support getting carried away or anything.Do I expect packed crowds? no.Do I expect half packed crowds in real small venues? well, I would at least hope so.

I meant carried away as in just a few years ago U20 tournaments weren't anywhere big. And the U18 ones never anybody expected to see more than the player's parents attend. And it's great the interest is growing. After all we are all hockey fans here in the first place. But let's pump the breaks just a bit before we expect 15y.olds tournaments to have an Olympics like everything.

Well these guys mostly aren't 15 year olds but I get your point.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Big crowd! Lets see what the czechs can do

 

[tobu]

Good first 5 minutes by Slovaks vs. Russians.

 

[jj cale]

This czech defense is...................not good.

 

[Babula]

it is difficult to watch todays game for Czech fan. this could be easily a slaughter. all of them prays with Bednar.

 

[tobu]

Slovaks better than Russians so far and with scoring chances. Waiting for the Russian machine to wake up.

I am crying over hereherealready already, I can't watch this match.

 

[tobu]

I haven't watched a single Czech game so far, is it that bad?

 

[JJTT]

Any highlights from Finland-Switzerland game(or full game replay)? Only found some potato quality twitter gifs.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Canada has yet to score, but the Czech team is significantly outmatched.

I expected Slovaks get significantly outmacthed by Russians, but it hasn't happened yet, looks like we might be playing for a result today.

 

[jj cale]

Czechs on to the p.p again after killing one off. Bednar up to the task in nets so far.

 

[Babula]

I like the idea of "derby" for the fifth spot.
