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

Now Fitz allows a goal with some odor.

Canada played the late game yesterday and we usually don't get up for Bronze Medal games. It's clear the USA wants this more.

Wasn't that Skinner? But yeah, it's clear Canada decided to not show up today.

 

[snipes]

Looks like I made a good choice not to watch, sounds like the USA is running away with it. Lovely

Fitz came in after the 3rd goal.

CAN really not winning much board battle. Looks like they are giving US a lot of space as well.

 

[1Gold Standard]

My prediction was Canada wouldn't medal. They played well enough at times early I started to doubt my prediction, but in the end, I was right again...just like most times.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

This is ugly. 5-1.

We are boosting the draft stocks of Brown, Keller, Bellows, etc.

The US is such a dominating team.
Canada can not even come close to the speed of the US.

 

[Beerz]

6-1

Pretty embarrassing.

 

[snipes]

****ing pathetic.

 

[TheLeastOfTheBunch]

Mercy rule?

 

[Woodhouse]

6-1 USA .. two-man advantage now and not even out of the 1st yet.

 

[BWDude]

Wow I haven't really gotten to watch this tournament this year and this is what I get when I watch?

Haven't seen a Canadian team this sluggish and this sloppy in a LONG while, back to watching Marlies.

 

[snipes]

Just flashed to check the score. What the heck happened? The USA just had a breakaway and could of made it 7-1. This is a joke right

Enough of this ****. Going back to playoff hockey, this is utterly embarrassing.

 

[satbank]

Unless US decided to turtle I don't think CAN have a chance to comeback.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Has Krys chopped any Canadian players hands off ?

Is that why it's 6-1 US ?

 

[New User Name]

The US has 6 dual citizens (5 Canadian and 1 Russian) on this team, that's amazing.

Not a chance. Canada can't match the speed of this US team.

Kieffer Bellows dad is Brian Bellows a Canadian NHLer.

 

[chauron]

Make canada proud boys

 

[whlscowt]

Why did this coach even give Skinner a chance after that one game? He's brutal, I'll be surprised to see him drafted.

He'll be one of the top goalies drafted in 2017. Kid was really good for Lethbridge all year. I'd take him above Hart who CS ranked #2 in NA this year.

Hockey Canada royally ****ed up last year at the Ivan Hlinka by cutting Logan Brown. Had he played for Canada there he might have decided to play for us here.

But Hockey Canada ****ing up is no surprise, they have a history of questionable decisions and their website sucks big time.

 

[ulvvf]

a few to goals to much, but US is strong in WJC 18, they always are.

 

[snipes]

Shots were 17-15 after the 1st I see. 6 goals on 17 shots, yikes.

Why do I torment myself with this?

Converted touchdown US.

We may see a 10 spot.
