U18: U-18 WJC 2018 GDT last group games

[Jussi]

Damn it, Annunen had it but dropped it. 4-2.

 

[Jussi]

Annunen is tbe only reason this game isn't tied.

Way to jinx it, man...

Yeah, that was my fault.

 

[Jussi]

Well we survived the end. 4-2 it finished.

USA up 8-0 vs Belarus who will face Finland in the quarterfinal on Thursday.

 

[Loffer]

Long live life and night! Team Finland marches on unbeaten, unshaken, unsomething - full of confidence, tactical acumen and individual skill! But the real test is still waiting one game away; all respect to the Belarusians but they should be an easy "mouthful" to this de luxe edition of adolescent Lions.

 

[ChicagoBullsFan]

Hopefully Finland's coaching staff is able to grew balls before Belarus game.
And make clear for every player in the team NO PENALTIES ANYMORE.

Finland has all chances to win gold medal in this tournament.
Those f***ing penalties will cost soon if this team can't calm down.

Especially Kotkaniemi needs to look in the mirror and think again what he's doing on the ice.
That hit which caused Czech players injury and 5+20 penalty for Finland's team was a total brain-fart.

Thank god Annunen saved us today.
But if Finland continues play like this ( taking penalties all the time) they won't celebrate any color of medal in Sunday.

So my question is - will SVK be decent opponent for RUS tonight? Last game right before start of tournament ended 0:5, 0:4 after 1st period.

slovakia played against canada, not russia if you mean game before the tournament

 

[flemo]

Oooops, memory segment corrupted

 

[flemo]

Ok, answer seems to be YES. I'm starting to believe that all season terrible results were well played flying under radar

 

[tobu]

Really good powerplays by Slovaks today.

 

[Jussi]

Slovakia and Canada now in the lead in the 3rd.

 

[FinPanda]

Canada is probably the team to beat in this tournament.

 

[tobu]

Russia ties, 5-5. So entertaining this game.

 

[Welsh Maple Leaf]

Any link to tournament squads? Canada in particular

 

[Teemu]

Boqvist ties it late. Good screen by Gustafsson

 

[Hybbe]

My god, Boqvist's release is insane.

 

[tobu]

Russia - Slovakia tied after 60 min.

You can find the lineups for today's game here. SWE vs CAN

 

[ItalianCanuck1]

Boqvist is a beast.

Is just me or Kevin Bahl is a good skater despite of the size? Where is he projected in the next draft?

I also like how McIsaac is playing.

 

[Teemu]

BIG save on Boqvist

Canada to the PP

 

[Michael Brand Eggs]

Boqvist is god tier. Plz draft him, Detroit

 

[tobu]

Russia - Slovakia to shootout.

 

[Teemu]

That was a great game. Sweden just doesn't have enough offensive flair outside of Boqvist, Berggren, and Gustafsson. That said, their depth played pretty well on the backend.

 

[tobu]

Russia takes the win in the shootout with 2 goals to 0.
