U18: Semi-Finals at the U18!

[Chainshot]

Can't fault Daigle on the GA, that's just Gibson and Allen being tied up in front. Allen's draft stock has taken some hits all year, this tournament included.

 

[theslatcher]

Stenberg keeps on getting great opportunities.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Yes.

Imagine if Canada had 5 or 6 exhibition games to get used to their teammates. And of course Bedard. the defense would still be crap but they might be able to win high scoring games.

 

[Chainshot]

Seems like the issues they had in the first period of the round robin are back in the last few minutes for Canada. They need some composure.

They're busting their humps out there and exceeded my expectations.

 

[Chainshot]

Yes.


You guys are way too hard on this team.

Probably true.

 

[Chainshot]

Ah crap, Wood's hurt.

 

[jj cale]

been tough getting any sustained pressure on this Swedish team, not unexpected.

 

[Chainshot]

Excellent forecheck - seems like again, taking the body on ASP leads to sustained zone time for Canada.

 

[ORRFForever]

Probably true.

Very true, my friend. After game 1... this is night and day.

Now they need on start throwing some pucks on net and get bodies in there and bang one home. Nothing fancy

 

[theslatcher]

Edstrom with the individual effort!

 

[Pazucha]

Who is playing better cant watch right now

 

[ORRFForever]

For an IIHF game, they have put the whistles away - a lot could have been called.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Edstrom just abused us. Yikes.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Canada's defense IS absolute garbage. Sweden has one good forward and they are winning easlily.

 

[Chainshot]

Edstrom with the individual effort!

Excellent overall shift though, just taking what was there to cycle. And he pays the price to score that one.

 

[WarriorofTime]

Nifty goal by Enstrom

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

And the gift penalty.

 

[Realgud]

Wow nice goal

 

[Chainshot]

MacDonell highstick?

 

[jj cale]

Just can't defend and the d-men handling the puck is just an adventure each shift.

 

[WarriorofTime]

This draft is nightmare on defense. Rough one for Cam Allen’s draft tape.

 

[Brunkmeister]

If only we could be as good as this on other levels also.

 

[Chainshot]

Yeah, that's a penalty - can't get your hands up that high when you finish a hit. I thought it was his stick but that's pretty clearly his hands in ASP's face.
