[Antiillafire]

The deciding game for a QF birth. Should be a good, close game.

Lets pray for big win. At least with 8 goals scored. In Latvia net.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Really looking forward to this one. Should be a really hard fought game.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Both teams looking for their first win of the tournament. Second and final game of the day.

I think Slovakia takes it.

They ran into a tough test last night but they're still a decent team.

They are but they need to reign their d in.. Constantly stepping up looking for big hits or jumping in the play with no cover. Worst D performances of the tourney so far.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Maybe Dvorsky will feel like doing something in this one

already gave up an odd man rush.

idk why they play like its an EASHL pickup game on nhl 22.

Demek is so lazy holy smokes, he must be playing through injury. It’s a waste putting Sykora on his line, put Sykora with Dvorsky

2 and a bit games in and I am very disappointed with Dvorsky. He has looked slow and outmatched. I don't know what's going on. Is he hurt? Or is it just that it's august and he is not yet in shape?

 

[bossram]

Dvorsky is still a very young 17-year-old in a 19-year-old tournament.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

What a move and goal by Sykora!

Nothing wrong with Dvorsky on the last PP. He made all the plays while the rest of the unit was standing around doing nothing.

I assume you were responding to me. That would have been a valid excuse if he wasn't touted as a top 5 pick in the next draft. I hope there is a good reason for his underwhelming showing so far.

Yeah, that was his best shift in the tournament so far. Right after I called him out...

Agreed

He needs to be playing with speedy wingers, like Sykora and Petrovsky. Jedlicka is useless, zvolen must have inflated his numbers illegally as he’s been a disaster thus far. And Faith is just to slow and bad IQ for this level.

He still needs to be better himself though for sure. But if you put other 2023 top 5-10 guys besides Bedard and Michkov in the same spot, the results wouldn’t be different.

Yes but still,don’t see a top 5 prospect for the 2023 draft?

 

[Antiillafire]

Yes but still,don’t see a top 5 prospect for the 2023 draft?

You think a guy like Fantilli, Carlsson, Yager would be playing different in the same spot? Watch Fantilli at this past U18 tournament where he played against his own age group, and he didn’t even dominate there. Bedard and Michkov are on a different level. It’s one single tournament, Mackinnon looked pedestrian as a 17 year old

 

[hockey20000]

good game this latvia holding there own

 

[JellyRamp]

i didnt expect the game to be this evenly matched, lots of fun watching

 

[Statsy]

Pretty great goaltending duel we have going here.

He probably won't be in the top-five.

Yep. Even a 17-year-old Mackinnon wasn't impressive. And he had some better players around him.

looks like I reverse jinxed the kid

ugh, that lead didn't last long. Latkoczy with a stinker
