U18: Hlinka Gretzky Cup 2024

[Hockeyfrilla]

Dissapointing, Sweden were up 3-1 and controlled the game

 

[McMozesmadness]

God damn. Amazing game

Klingsell and Ekburg connect on the winner. They were the best Swedes for my money. On the other side, Pradel was excellent for the Slovaks. Stood on his head. Kept them alive. Liked Nemec and Tomik a lot too

 

[Antiillafire]

Slovakia’s lack of defenseman who can control the game shows. I wonder where Luka Radivojevic is…

Slovaks are too slow making plays.

Yep, and coming back today was predicated a lot on Pradels game, he gave them the chance.

I don't see this team placing this year but who knows?

Zero surprises in lineup...

He decided to concentrate on making the SHL.

He decided to concentrate on making the SHL.

Yeah I know. That’s why I’m saying that. Needed him

I believe that's the kind of experience young players should get (U17, U18, U20) beforehand. You have the rest of your hockey career for everything else.

How are there games with no broadcast, wtf? Just don't bother hosting this if you can't even stream all games in 2024.

 

[Erikfromfin]

Unbelievable.... Germany wins 2-1 on overtime.... so much for this tournament bollocks

 

[jj cale]

Sure has been a tough couple of years for Finland.

 

[Maverick41]

Of course, the one time we win a game at this level, and there is no stream and I am guessing no highlights.

Still, very happy with this result.

With the talent this team have it was a pretty poor game overall tbh. Happy with the overtime W tho, hope it gives the players a boost

Man, the US can really fire it! That player has the hardest snapshot from centre ice I've ever seen!

 

[jj cale]

Good p.k by the U.S

 

[Czechboy]

Poor Czech start... may burn them.

Allowed a brutal goal and did very little with a 5 on 3.

 

[martygod12]

And of course the first tournament game comes and we immediately let in a completely stupid goal from center of the pitch and then f*** up almost 2minute 5/3 lol

 

[Czechboy]

Nice win for Germany!
Nice job for Slovakia too.

Yup and this is what worried me.. we are not good favorites. Much better underdogs.

 

[Goodman68]

Omg

On a good note.. I do think we've had some nice looks and are pushing the pace! it's a awful start but we do look good when we're not shooting ourselves in the foot.

On a bad note... after that gorgeous Jersey display from Slovkia and Sweden... our Red ones just don't look good! Glad the crest is back but it's a pure red jersey with a crest.. get some style on there!

I like them but don't think it works with those socks.
