U18: Quarterfinal predictions and GDT

View attachment 696528
I see 3 blowouts and a potentially good Finn vs Slovakia matchup.
Slovaks gonna get trashed too. 8:3 in the friendly before the tournament, in a game against Germans they showed that they are actually not that good.

I see all games going with wins by 4 or more goals for all the teams on the top of the bracket.
 
Physical defensive shift from the Czechs but the US top line pushes two men to the net front for a change and it helps create that goal.
 
Did not expect Norway to blowout Germany if I'm being honest. Thought that might be a close game or a German win. Good for Norway.

This Czech game is not fun to watch at all.lol Jecho with his most noticeable game.
 
Sale and Felcman both had nice looks.

Hrabal needs an IV drip as do our D who all have broken shins.
 
Trey Augustine is in the US net. Just in case anyone was wondering. I haven't seen the US net in the 2nd period but I am certain he is doing yoga on that other half of the net.
 
37:9 shots lol ... I am not watching but I guess its a one net game and only reason its only 2:0 is Hrabal and luck
 
What a weird hockey game. Almost 40 minutes without penalties and it feels like Czech coach created a game plan that they just don't lose big. Hard to win playing like that. I would like to see more simple plays to the net but I understand that pointless to take risks when Czechs can't create anything.
 
Holy crap shots are 37 to 9 after 2. The Americans just might hit 50 if they try.

Also for the people watching, is the Czech goalie just awesome this game seeing as it's just 2 - 0? Or are many of the shots from outside?

Czech just close the center. Goalie has been good too.

Its just individual plays from team USA.. The talent is there but i don't like how they play.
 
Czechs cannot be having fun. US are doing what they want and alhave all this open ice. Looks like a powerplay.

I will say... One problem was taking stupid penalties. They've only taken one and killed it. So there is a positive.
 
I noticed that Eiserman is having attitude issues from the start of the match.. Everytime his play fails he either looks at the referes or starts beating or slashing opponents..
 
US coaching is so bad in every international tournament. Never can't make changes when opponent forces it.
