U18: Hlinka Semis

[Czechboy]

Now watching the Czech-Finn match on Youtube, because TSN2 is showing billiards.

In neutral games I usually cheer for the country I've visited, but I've been to Finland and Czechia, so what do I do?

Gonna cheer for the kids in red, because the Habs wear red and the Leafs wear blue and that seems as good a reason as any?

Does it have commentary? Link?

 

[Czechboy]

Completely slopsided.... Finns barely hanging on

Yes... but... 1 goal game

Or were you looking for the livestream of the billiards on TSN2?

Come on dude. That first goal was horrendous at any level of hockey. Maybe watch it again:

He got beat on a breakaway by a timing shot from one of the best goal scorers in his age group. If Catton took that shot and scored you wouldn't be blaming the goalie.

Jokinen, Välilä, Jalasti, Nieminen are too small and weak and Vikla is same mold... thats why I was surprised Nykyri was left off the roster

That's about as loose of the use of the term "breakaway" I've seen. He had his 5-hole open about 2 feet the entire sequence. It's a bad goal no matter who is shooting and I absolutely would have the same view if the teams were reversed.

Canada's goaltenders have averaged a .748 SV% at this tournament. Do you think that qualifies as solid goaltending?

Ondrej Kos has been very impressive. Looks like a very underrated player..

 

[MeHateHe]

The only guy who's seeing any action in the Czech end is the guy who is squeegying the glass.

 

[Erikfromfin]

Game over.... Czechia is just superior team.. Can't do anything this game... oh well Bronze game it is.

 

[Jukurit]

That's the game. Congrats to Czechia for the win!

 

[Czechboy]

3 to 1...

How klima didn't hit his teammate is beyond me.

Jecho has been great... he's out next Sapo! Minute cruncher and effective. Not an elite scorer though...

 

[William H Bonney]

Jesus these refs are insane. European refs love to dictate the games.

 

[Czechboy]

Teo goal lead is key... we've been controlling and have had several chances but Finns don't go away. For now I can breathe at least... shots are 11 to 1

 

[ORRFForever]

LET THEM PLAY!!!!

***** these refs are insane. European refs love to dictate the games.

Yup. I don't want this. This is B.S.

 

[William H Bonney]

This game is all about the refs and soft goals against.

 

[Hemsky001]

4-1 Game over.

 

[ORRFForever]

Now THAT was nice and worth the price of admission.

 

[Obvious Fabertism]

What a weak goal to give up to Catton. /s

 

[Czechboy]

Nice goal from our irishman!

 

[William H Bonney]

Lots of puck watching and no feet moving on that one. Rolled out the red carpet

 

[ORRFForever]

Canada sure is gifted offensively. The D is garbage and the goaltending is not much better.

Nice goal from our irishman!

Amen, brother.

 

[Obvious Fabertism]

Wow, what a rush for Martone.

 

[William H Bonney]

What a weak goal to give up to Catton. /s

This is Heil from the Czech game and not the Sweden one. 2 of the 4 have been really weak.

 

[Hallzy]

I see you, Porter!!!

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

3 goals in like 2min for TC 2 PP goals

Canada up 4-2
