GDT: U18 Semifinals (USA-SVK, CAN-SWE)

[JackSlater]

Nice shot by Iginla. Unfortunate for the Swedish goalie that these were the first four shots he faced.

Beauty snipe

Will this go to double digits?

 

[FLAMESFAN]

Nice to see more fans chiming in today!

Need another, 3-0 is the worst lead in hockey....

 

[jj cale]

Will this go to double digits?

In my fantasies this would end 8-0. Get the stench of last years beating out of my nostrils although it never fully goes away.

 

[McMozesmadness]

Eliasson is an idiot

 

[hockeyprospects9]

I love and hate Eliasson

 

[FLAMESFAN]

Scouts will like Eliasson's size & aggression, even if its selfish sometimes

 

[FLAMESFAN]

Who's gonna center these 2 at the WJC next year? Danielson?

Ohoh, hope Mews is OK, he's been great

 

[EK47]

Swedish 06’s are pretty bad. First time in like forever there might not be any swedish first rounders at all?

Danielson is too old for the WJC now. Should be a deep group of forwards though.

 

[jj cale]

George, sharp.

 

[JackSlater]

And another one.

 

[FLAMESFAN]

And another one.

This is a great 2nd line, all 3 of them

 

[jj cale]

Ritchie, nice.

 

[Bjindaho]

That contact to the head on Mews while he was on his knees (after they called the play bc he was hurt) should be a tossed from the tournament on the spot.

 

[McMozesmadness]

Iginla is having a period

This Canadian team identity is relentlessness. I think Tij has led the way. His puck pressure and pursuit are high end

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Nice save by George.

 

[hockeyprospects9]

Swedish 06’s are pretty bad. First time in like forever there might not be any swedish first rounders at all?

Only one that might is Freij

 

[FLAMESFAN]

So, if we have a 4+ goal lead into the 3rd, do we follow the USA strategy of resting the starting goalie for the gold medal game?

 

[EK47]

Only one that might is Freij

Would be the first time since 2010.

 

[FLAMESFAN]

Only one that might is Freij

Isin't Wallenius usually rated higher?

 

[hockeyprospects9]

Isin't Wallenius usually rated higher?

Used to be but I feel like Freij has outperformed him

 

[EK47]

Used to be but I feel like Freij has outperformed him

Wouldn’t be surprised if we see more 07’s than 06’s in the world juniors this winter.

 

[RKBoy]
