U18: Hlinka Gretzky Cup

[ORRFForever]

and Finland and Switzerland win 2 games? then what goal total decide`?


as things stand after 2nd period
Switzerland is +5
Finland is +1
Canada is -3

Don't 3 of the 4 teams from each pool make the playoffs?
(sincere question)

Nope, top 2 on each side advance directly to the semifinals.

 

[ORRFForever]

Yikes! Okay. Then you are right. We could be in trouble.

Is there a live scoreboard somewhere?

Thanks!

So Canada gonna need to score a TON vs Switzerland.

 

[Erikfromfin]

Well that was most heartless spiritless performance by Finns in a while

 

[ORRFForever]

So...

We're gonna need to beat the Swiss by 5

or

Slovakia has to beat or draw Finland

or

We are out.

Too funny.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

Very refreshing to see the U.S. rebound againt a quality opponent. A nice bonus salve (as it were) to watch Canada poop its pants again.

well it depends... Canada need to win last 2 and Finns need to win Slovakia.... then it should come to goal difference.. but jea 2 high scoring batterings for Canada would help

Yup. A win or draw by Slovakia vs Finland would be wonderful.

Finland did a lot better than the Slovaks vs the Swiss top line. I don't think the Reber line was bad but they didn't create much. Yesterday vs Slovakia they were essentially playing PP all game long. So defensively I thought the Finns were pretty good but offensively they failed to do much.

I think some of it may be due to the conditions but I also think both coaches wanted to see solid defense having struggled in this department yesterday and knowing the team would be tired having played not even 24h ago.

At the end of the day I think a higher score vs a rather uninspired Finland would have been possible. I hope the Swiss team won't regret not having scored more.

You guys managed to put "11" shots against Slovakia during the game how was your first line playing "PP" all game long.

Still salty I see . I hope the Slovak players feel the same and help us to get to the semis by taking Canada and or Finland at least to overtime.

I mean I just checked the stats the Swiss first line that essentially played "PP" all game had 0 shots on a goalie from 11 total lol

Obviously his statement was a bit exaggerated in order to clarify how dominant the line was. He also meant the Reber line that was involved in three of our goals and not the line around Grossniklaus.

It's looking like 3 teams will be 2-1 for Group B. If so, how will it be determined who will fail to qualify?

 

[Antiillafire]

This has to be one of the strangest HGC’s I’ve seen in a while. Only thing that could add to it now is if Germany beats Czechia and Slovakia beats Canada. The 2% chance of those happening

Apparently the goal differential. Lets see this scenario come true first though. Anything can happen at the U18 level.

 

[DraftEligibleOHL]

Well the lineup changes by CAN seem to have worked.. Although they did score early in yesterdays game as well and that didn't end very well.

In that case, Finland's looking pretty good if they win. I'm not sure how possible it is for both Canada and Switzerland to have the right goal differential to place ahead of Finland.

 

[Erikfromfin]

wrong info

 

[macbowes]

Misa is a truly dominant skater. He actually reminds me of Eichel when he's transporting the puck, with his long stride and explosive first few steps. He also glides very well, and maintains his speed without the puck.

 

[William H Bonney]

Hell of a sequence of saves there by Rafaj

 

[ORRFForever]

Switzerland +5
Finland +1
Canada -1

goal differential right now after canada scored 2

Are you sure Slovakia's points will be included?

My guess : No - it will only be the 3 teams fighting for a spot.

Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
