U18: U18 Day 6 - Last call!

[Czechboy]

Last day of round robin. Germany and Norway will face for relegation.

In theory, a lot is still up for grabs. In reality, not much is.lol

My guesses:

Sweden defeats Germany in an easy match as I expect Germany to rest some key players for the relegation match (and, you know, Sweden is really good here)

Canada should hand the Czechs a comfortable loss and feed us to the US for a nasty quarter

US should hand the Swiss a pretty solid beating. Pre tourney I said they'd average a touchdown a game, they are actually averaging 9 goals a game. Their 27 goals are the same as the Swedes and Canada combined. Swedes with 3 goals against in 3 games is damn impressive as well!

Finland should hand Norway a convincing loss as well. Same thing, Finn's are awesome and I expect Norway to take it easy and get ready for relegation.

From a personal perspective - Czechs need 2 points against Canada to avoid a US beatdown. A regulation win would, most likely, allow us to avoid Finland and the US. Now, do I think we'll beat Canada in regulation or OT... NO. But, if I were the Czechs, I'd treat tomorrow as the do or die quarterfinal as they can still control their fate. Once they lose, their fate is pretty much sealed!

 

[Eye of Ra]

Hmmmm.

Czechia should win easily over Canada. Czechia is much stronger than Sweden, the same Sweden that beat Canada.

Germans should win over Sweden.

Eazy wins for USA and Finland.

Such an interesting case study this guy.

Some weird mental issues going on with one poster on here I don’t quite understand..

As for the actual games, I am guessing Swe- Ger 10-1, Can - Cze 6-1, USA - Sui 7-1, Fin - Nor 5-0.

This again? Find yourself some balance.

What happened to Tropmann? I was making my coffee and came back to him icing his wrist and flexing his hand on the bench.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Refs were 0 for 2. Ignored a Swedish holding penalty and called a non existent penalty on Germany. Too Many Men was obvious though.

That's probably very close. I do think we have a game that can give Canada a headache but we just can't score enough and we certainly don't have a swagger like that U20 team.

If we're lucky Sweden is content with how things have gone for them and we don't get stomped.

Germany, much like the Czechs last game, is simply sticking to the basics of playing team defense and is making it tough for the Swedes yet again so far.

Take note canucks!!

 

[theslatcher]

Sweden sleeping through this game until somebody has a random spurt of energy.

 

[EK47]

Sweden is hot garbage

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

So far 3-5 penalties on Sweden ignored.

 

[Czechboy]

Sweden is hot garbage

Neither team has anything to play for unfortunately.

 

[jj cale]

Button calling out the missed calls committed by Sweden, getting ornery in the booth!!

We will be bringing all our offence today! By that I mean Sale passing to guys that can't shoot.

 

[ZEBROA]

Is there any free legal live text commentator other then this place?

Sale will just have to take the bull by the horns himself I guess, the way we have played defense so far he should get his chances.

I just hope I get to watch the game, not sure if I am going to be called into work this morning or not yet, dreading the call.

Playing for pride.

Unger Sörum with 1000 grade A opportunities but whiffing on them all.

 

[jj cale]

A German p.p should be coming in the not too distant future I think.

Playing for pride.

They've looked like what I usually think of for German international hockey - good structure, committed to defense. I wonder if they are approaching this as a warmup for the relegation - work on habits and such - and the pride factor that most seem to think the Swedes were just going to stomp them.
