U18: WJC U18 - Grand Forks, North Dakota (14th - 24rd April)

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Jost is already Josting. Love the shortening of the stick, did not lead to a goal but brilliant.

Laberge scores! Good start for Chychrun too.

 

[snipes]

Woooo!!! Laberge

1-0 Canada

 

[jj cale]

Laberge!!

Quick start, just what we needed.

 

[TheLeastOfTheBunch]

Feels like Canada's going to run up the score in this one.

Nope, Sweden's looking good here as well.

 

[leaflover]

Good persistent work gets rewarded.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Nylander with a heck of a shift.

 

[snipes]

Jost is the best player in the tournament

 

[leaflover]

Jost is the best player in the tournament

I'd take Puljujarvi but I don't know about anyone else.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Holy hell. Nylander is terrifying.

Chychrun was not necessarily all at fault there (where was the support?), but that type of stuff keeps happening to him.

 

[snipes]

I'd take Puljujarvi but I don't know about anyone else.

Based purely on performance in the tournament? No way.

 

[jj cale]

It would be nice if we could get this type of goal tending at the world juniors.

 

[snipes]

Holy hell. Nylander is terrifying.

Chychrun was not necessarily all at fault there (where was the support?), but that type of stuff keeps happening to him.

He makes baffling decisions almost every game.

 

[Breakers]

It's Play like that that just absolutely puzzles me from Chychrun

Turns back into his own zone, then cuts directly through his own crease, he falls trying to do too sharp of a turn and it results in Sweden's best opportunity of the game.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Kyrou with a great pass to Comtois.

Does TSN really need to show the Leafs brass every game? We get it, they are there.

 

[snipes]

Great play by Kyrou. Nice save by the SWE goalie.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Nylander putting on as much of a show as you can put on without getting a point.

 

[snipes]

Sweden goal.

1-1

 

[jj cale]

Crazy deflection, Fitz had no chance.

 

[TheLeastOfTheBunch]

Defence doesn't look good against these slippery Swedish forwards.

 

[joe89]

Have liked our speed and tenacity in the first.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Nylander is going to carve us up if we don't wake up.

 

[leaflover]

Swedes have gained momentum with that goal.
Canada too often struggling to clear the zone.

 

[jj cale]

We really need to pick it up and match their wheels in the 2nd period.

 

[snipes]

Both goalies looking good early.

 

[Sundinisagod]

Nylander kinda reminds me of Mogilny.
