U18: Quarterfinal predictions and GDT

[wishywashy19]

Is this tournament played on the international size ice.

I am sure TSN had something to do with the 5:30 start.

Possible. But NL playoff final starts at 8pm so I'm not sure that would have been a better option. It would have been smart to not schedule those games on the same day but that's obviously expecting too much and it is what it is now. Of course, nobody beats Canada though when it comes to hosting WJC's. I just wanted to point out that Switzerland, under different circumstances, would have been a good choice as well

Very nice goal.

Is this tournament played on the international size ice.

I would assume so.

I came into this tournament hoping to get more views on most of the Canadian defensemen for this upcoming draft.

I have not been pleased.

cripes, imagine this stuff against Sweden or the U.S

 

[wishywashy19]

This Canadian team is brilliant with falling down and taking themselves out of the play and giving pucks away.........it's almost an art form at this point.

they aren't doing themselves any favours.

Another pathetic showing by Switzerland. Embarrassing that this is a default "top 8" hockey nation.

Can't expect much playing vs Canada with a leaking goalie. Also, our coaches are grade a morons and our 05 group is one of the weakest both in recent and future years. Should have selected mostly underagers for this tournament since our 06 kids are rather promising.

Yes you are right, almost as pathetic as Canadas showing vs Sweden. I am already looking forward tho the rematch in the semis.

Somewhat of an answer with the second goal but i agree we look terrible against the top teams this year

 

[ORRFForever]

Now THAT was nice.

 

[Chainshot]

Kirsch knows based on his reaction.

 

[Chainshot]

I don't think that's a head hit.

 

[ORRFForever]

Aint technology amazing?

 

[Speyer]

Disappointed with Kirsch this tournament despite the fact he is an underager. Hasn't shown good positioning. Maybe Neuenschwander should be the guy next year.

LOL. Teenage mustaches look so ridiculous... but we ALL had one.

I like Neuenschwander, McNutt, Solèr all better than Kirsch. So he's my nr.4 among Swiss 06 goalies
Having said that, he was watching the entire tournament before finally getting a start vs the favourites for the title. Then he gets thrown into a quarter final game against Canada that was already lost. Yeah, Kirsch has been pretty bad but the opportunities he got were kinda shit as well and he's also still an underager in this tournament. He's been disappointing but his talent is evident. Big kid with a very clean technique moving extremely well.

Where did everyone go?

I like Neuenschwander better. Haven't seen McNutt in a long time and never saw Solèr play at all. No doubt Kirsch is more talented than most of our other goalies in the last few years. I still hoped for fewer individual mistakes. Hopefully he moves to the USHL as soon as possible though. If he really wants to play NCAA he can't play any other league than U20 elit in Switzerland until 2026.

Making a sandwich and walked the dog. He cares not for international tournaments, only leaving pee-mail for other pups.

[Chainshot]

Is Allen going to have the biggest drop from last summer to now in terms of draft position?
