[QnebO]

What a slapper by Canadian #17 to high granny.

How predictable can we be at the U18 level? Beat every European opponent, lose against every NA opponent.

 

[VictorLustig]

It's frustrating to watch our junior national teams these days (not including the U20 one). A majority of the players just can't handle the pace and they relied on just one player, teams like that don't win.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

The penalties being called in this game

It get unbearable to watch IIHF games at times. That's a shame because these tournaments are great.

 

[JJTT]

Travis Konecny looked really good, his skating is really nice. Slapshot goal after dodging a hit from Rasmus Andersson and nice assist and drive to the net on the second goal.

The guy doing play by play on TSN just had to say "and keep in mind this is not a power play"

 

[New User Name]

The passing, puck control and skating of the US is a joy to watch.

 

[that is unfortunate]

Pastrnak is amazing, he should've shot it though

 

[Mirinho]

this is too cruel ... to be fair it should be 2:2 but nice hockey at all ...

 

[JJTT]

Yeah going to watch the Rangers-Philly, USA is too good for Czechs

 

[KurtSloan]

Goal! Best timing to score

[KurtSloan]

well, USA is too good for every team in this tournament. Except Switzerland. )

 

[Mirinho]

Seriously? This is a lot closer than the score indicates.

I'd even say, we are beating them on chances (but from chance it's still too far for goal ) ... atleast it gives us hope for last 2 periods

and Vrana will ofc score his goal, as every match

 

[Mirinho]

[sjci]

Austin Matthews is too good.
