GDT: Slovakia Vs Sweden | 12:00PM ET | Group B - TD Place

I'd love to see the Slovaks get the next one but that's asking too much.

Still, 1-0 Slovakia after the first, the start a fella wants if hoping for a good game today.

Good 1st for the Slovaks. Weathered the Swedish attack well. Urban was great when the Swedes did find their looks. At the other end, Dalibor did what he does. Elite finish. That will be their recipe for success

Ok, I will lessen my expectations for Kazakhstan in this group seeing how solid Slovakia looks currently...
 
Good first by the Slovaks.

Could've scored on the 3 on 1 early, then Dvorsky snipes it during 4 on 4 play to make it 1 - 0, showing us why he's red hot in the AHL now (leading his team). Sure hope he gets to see some NHL ice time this season. Urban then with 2 nice glove saves to keep the lead.
 
Slovaks need a second before Swedens first for this to become an exciting one. Early 1-1 goal and Sweden will win 7- or 8-1.
Have similar feeling so far, Slovaks leading but it seems only like a matter of time till Swedes rolls over them

If the Slovaks get a 2nd goal here oh boy look out!

I’ve been saying this from the start but if there is ever a World Juniors with upsets it’s this one. It’s still early but I like how the Slovaks look.

Reminder that Dvorsky was picked 24th in the HFboards WJC player pool. Just to give you an idea of the intelligence and biases of the forum as a whole.

I see it's a new thing the last few years for new country artists to plug their music during the juniors.


It's a shame new country makes my ears bleed.

I had him as top5. Center, skilled and IQ with size. Skating and other things are usually easier to add later on if a prospects has the tools Dvorsky always had.
 
If Sweden wants to win today they desperately need to play less predictable patterns in the attacking zone. They have on the puck a lot but most of the passes the have been making were really easy for the defending team to read.
 
Jakub chromiak looks great so far. Have no idea how this kid wasn’t drafted. I’m sure if his name was Jacob Cowler and he was from Toronto, he would’ve been…
 
The second will be exciting. Either Urban stands up and will continue be the first for Slovaks this tourney. Or... Sweden steamrolls the Slovaks and Lendak ends up becoming the first in this years tournament.
