GDT: U-18 WJC Umeå & Örnsköldsvik, Sweden: Day 2

[ijuka]

Honestly, Heinola's been awful here. He needs to improve.

I really hope that the youth don't feel like the national teams just are places where you can just show up and play a bit of pond hockey, you're supposed to try your hardest.

Finland's 4 years U18 WJC gold medal game and medal streak will end in this tournament.
Without massive changes for everything ( lines, goaltentending, powerplay etc) Finland will end up relegation round.

Bring Kakko to U18 WCJ immediately.
This U18 Team Finland is atrocious.

Terrible stats tracking at this tournament. Still no assists assigned on the Belarus 1st goal. Why are they robbing Oksentyuk and Buyalsky for points?

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Belarus dominating Finland at this level is something new.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Bad goal by Wallstedt there :/

 

[tobu]

Belarus has a great year, they might even medal. Imagine that, one of CZE, SUI, FIN in relegation fight.

Raymond injured​

Same thing happened with USA's games, points were tracked way wrong. Amateurish.

 

[Jussi]

4-0....

 

[SoundAndFury]

Being terrible became the norm to IIHF lately. They get things wrong/late with great consistency nowadays.

 

[BlitzSnipe]

4-0, Belarus is completely dominant. Wow.

 

[JimboA]

Raymond injured​

He's on a 2+10 for boarding.

 

[Star Ocean]

He's on a 2+10 for boarding.

Ok i missed that lol

 

[IceHockeyDude]

The kids seemed to lose the spirit after yesterdays loss. Happens with the junior hockey. Belarus has been very strong both today and yesterday.

 

[Star Ocean]

Holtz has missed the goal like 10 timea today

 

[Jussi]

4-2 now.

 

[FrankGallagher]

Today they play against each other in the WHL Conference finals. Historical moment for Belarus hockey: all 4 European imports in the series are Belarusians.

And all four of them impact players. Protas one of the best forwards on the best team in the WHL is especially impressive

 

[Star Ocean]

Anyone seen nybeck?

Edit: he hasnt been the ice for 2 periods.

Svt commentator is clueless.

 

[king89]

4-3! SUOMII

 

[ijuka]

Well at least Aaltonen plays with a good attitude. One of the only players who have some heart on the team.

 

[Jussi]

4-3....

 

[TheFinnishTrap]

Even a win here won't salvage the awful 2,5 periods of play.

 

[SoundAndFury]

Hmm it's like Finland isn't that much worse than Belarus.

 

[king89]

Well at least Aaltonen plays with a good attitude. One of the only players who have some heart on the team.

Agreed

 

[Star Ocean]

Finland will win now
