U17: 2014 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge — Nov. 2-8

[Get North]

Canada White definitely needs some time to play together, no crisp breakouts or passes but the individual talent is there.

 

[Garyboy]

Krys is an excellent skater. Great poise with the puck.

 

[Get North]

Jost scores, kid is going to be great.

 

[joe89]

Looks like a nightmare for Sweden. USA's just flat out more developed physically.

 

[JJTT]

Own goal for Canada White 1-1 vs Finland. Somppi got credit i think.

 

[VictorLustig]

Sweden dumping the puck on the PP, nobody goes after it. Happened maybe 3 times this period.

 

[Garyboy]

2-0 U.S.

Khodorenko misses on a breakaway, and Jones follows up and puts it in.

2-0 after the 1st. The Swedes had some decent chances and are a good skating squad, but the American's team play and size and strength seems to bee too much.

 

[3 Minute Minor]

Looks like a nightmare for Sweden. USA's just flat out more developed physically.

Don't take it too hard Sweden, it's been that way for US for a while under their development program.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

This swedish team is not good. Undersized aswell.

 

[Get North]

Keaton Middleton is going to get burned with speed in this tournament, he's solid otherwise. Finland is playing pretty solid, good pressure but once Canada is in the offensive zone it's a struggle for Finland.

 

[Garyboy]

2-1 U.S.

The Swedes with a beautiful tic-tac-toe passing play on the PP leading to a goal in the slot.

 

[Garyboy]

2-2.

Swedes score on a rebound off the rush.

 

[3 Minute Minor]

I find it way too difficult to see the jersey numbers for Sweden/USA unless the player is way out of the play lol

 

[JJTT]

2-1 Finland Pete Niemi. Canadians seem too eager to look for big hit instead of simply defending.

 

[Get North]

Refs are pretty bad, PPs are 6-3 for Finland.

 

[thething]

Team white taking too many dumb penalties trying to be physical

 

[SurMartin]

2-2 Well deserved

 

[Garyboy]

3-2 Swedes.

Swedish forward strips American D of the puck right in front of American net and puts it in.

 

[Garyboy]

3-3.

Americans score in the slot 10 seconds later. Frederick with the goal.

 

[Get North]

3-1 Finland, Canada just wants to play offence. Coaching is terrible so far.

 

[JJTT]

3-1 Kuokkanen. Terrible turnovers by Canada.

 

[3 Minute Minor]

3-1 Finland, Canada just wants to play offence. Coaching is terrible so far.

It's the first game of the tournament for a team that played a total of 1 game together and you're already taking shots at the coaching?

 

[Garyboy]

4-3 U.S.

Khodorenko with a gorgeous seeing-eye shot as he peels out of the corner on the PP.

 

[thething]

Team white's defence is trying to do much/focusing too much on offense right now.

 

[Garyboy]

4-3 after the 2nd. U.S ends the period with a 5-on-3 thanks to two penalties drawn by Max Jones in the span of 15 seconds.

Americans carried the play for the most part. The Swedes are extremely opportunistic, so this game is far from over.
