germany is looking decent shame they dont get a day off before canada game though.

 

[Czechboy]

Quite the Pro German crowd

They want the upset!

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Quapp looks good

 

[CoSi]

Lol that should be a penalty shot

 

[Sideline]

Quite the Pro German crowd

Halifax crowds cheer for Canada over everyone and then the underdog in every other game.

I would NOT want to be Canada's next opponent! Freight train coming in

What a sequence, that's going to be a fun final 5 minutes..

 

[Juxtaposer]

The 'son line that just drew the penalty also gets some forecheck/grind but they aren't getting the chances. Flipping the Djurgarden line back together and giving Lysell the grinders might yet still be the better option to get more offense out of more than one line.

Absolutely agreed. No point in putting Lysell with two good offensive guys in Östlund and Öhgren if he’s just going to play solo ball, and Lekkerimäki hasn’t been very effective where he is.

Quite the Pro German crowd

Canadians will root for whoever is a playing against a threat to Team Canada. *shrug*

 

[Czechboy]

Germans are getting so close!

 

[Realgud]

Both goalies have been very good but a reason for this is that both teams seem unable to elevate the puck.

Most people root for the underdog when they don't already have a vested interest in the two teams. It is human nature.

 

[Czechboy]

Wild finish coming in

 

[Chainshot]

Thought the Germans would get one there... or there... or there.

Leaking some chances Sweden.

 

[Czechboy]

A rare 'jersey' save.lol

Most people root for the underdog when they don't already have a vested interest in the two teams. It is human nature.

And when they have a vested interest in how their favorite does, they will very much root for whatever result is best for their favorite.

I only watched a few games but there seems to be a lot more chippiness than usual for the world juniors.

 

[Daeni10]

Well if we got a roughing on the PK the Swede should get one as well now

Seriously though, we are getting some pretty good looks this period

 

[GermanSpitfire]

This crowd is giving me chills being here live.

It’s making me emotional - it’s like how it would be if the WJC was ever hosted back home.

So glad this was one of the games I decided to attend.

 

[Czechboy]

Congrats Sweden!

Nice job Germany!

I do not look forward to either of our matchups as you are both on LONG winning streaks against us.

Swedes entered missing 3 key D and, after 2 games, have scored 12 goals and, checks note, allowed ZERO. WOW

The U18's and summer U20's were pretty chippy too.

 

[McMozesmadness]

Wow

 

[Casper The Soy Ghost]

What a goalie battle.

Sweden got saved by Lindbom.

[Daeni10]

That was an amazing game
