U18: World Championship, Lappeenranta & Imatra, Finland

Our 4th line is easily, by far the best.

1st line is a joke so far.

The team's head are somewhere but not in the game. Sloppy surfing-style playing for 1-3 lines.
 
Rauli Urama is not Erkka Westerlund or Karri Kivi..

I knew this when the game started..

This. The problems in this game looks to be pretty much on coaching. Lack of heart and effort, waiting for something to happen, ect.. Mind is not in the game well enough and effort is not 100%
 
No stream?

Points so far?

Time?

Anything? pls

3-0 for Sweden 15 min played. Finnish 1-3 line play like ****.

Swedens goals two wristers from close quarters and one point shot.
 
Finland down 3-0 in the first period? Great. And I was slightly pissed off for missing this...(who schedules quarter-finals at 1pm and 5pm though?)
 
Kapanen dominating with his skating and strength, give him good center and the sky is the limit. Nylander looks like prototypical euro skill player, lost the puck pretty easily when finns took the body. Skill is there but has to bulk if he wants to play NHL in the future.
 
I cant believe how hard is for our d-man to play mistake free hockey and giving first pass tape to tape. Even 12 year old's play better d than that.

Yeah pretty bad patch of defensemen this year. But in the u18 it goes up and down.
 
I am not even disappointed that Sweden leads 3-0. Finland has played so badly in the tournament. Maybe they fire Urama when tournament is over.. We need better coach to our U18 team.

Urama is like Raimo Helminen and Harri Rindell. They are horrible coaches for our U18/U20 national team. I am scared what happens when Karri Kivi leaves U20 team..

The good thing about Grönborg pesting the U20 and national team is that the U18 doesn't have him anymore. So maybe they can finally play up to potential.
