World Junior Championships Thread - Garand, Othmann, Cuylle win GOLD!

[kovazub94]

Cuylle line had a distinct assignment - it was on the ice after almost every Canadian PP and Canadian goal. Think about good (deep) NHL teams - their 4th lines are not a bunch of AAAA / AHLers but good NHLers with specific assignments for forechecking & energy.

P.S. I know we have some Gettinger fans here who thought that he'd be a proper 4th liner in the NHL if he had a bit more footspeed and IQ. This is what I see in Cuylle (plus a better shot but I'm not sure if it will translate from the juniors). Flame away...

Othmann in today

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Oh no. How can they be on the same line if they're both left wingers?

Good - I will be able to scroll through most of the game to only watch one Canadian and one Slovakian lines

Let's not get stressed over what amounts to a summer makeup tournament with any of the prospects. This is a good experience for all of them playing with other linemattes in a different setting.

It's free reps for training camp. If the WJC was the be all end all, Danny Kristo would've been finishing a HOF career with Montreal.

Or Jordan Schroeder.

Or Jordan Schroeder.

Speaking of Schroeder drafted after Kreider and a few spots before Kyle Palmieri. remember the wonderful Cody Hodgson and the wonderful Nick Jensen. All drafted by the Canucks and all busts all played in the World Juniors

Schroeder was my guy that year. Not gonna lie.

 

[EdJovanovski]

We need to tank for Bedard holy shit

Bedard goal 1-0 Cuylle screening the goalie. Beautiful pass by McTavish

Schroeder was my guy that year. Not gonna lie.

I wanted Kreider, O’Reilley and Kassian that year in round 1. My top 3 choices

Cuylle makes it 2-0 Canada

 

[RangersFan1994]

Cuylle assist to Othmann. I will like the sound of that. 3-0 Canada

 

[EdJovanovski]

Cuylle to Othmann!!

 

[RangerBoy]

Rangers connection. Othmann can score that goal with his eyes closed. Typical Othmann goal. Nice pass by Cuylle.

Othmann made two nice subtle plays on his 1st shift. One subtle play on his 2nd shift. Scored a goal on his 3rd shift.

Cuylle was on the PK leading up to his goal.

 

[ArPanet]

"Stupid" Othmann scores

edit to add quote mark since it's possible the attempt at sarcasm failed

 

[Kords]

As long as it's not a softie for Garand

 

[EdJovanovski]

Bedard is generational at drawing penalties lmao everyone so mad at him

 

[I Eat Crow]

That's a pretty deft finish by Cuylle. Othmann scored from his office. Ho hum.

Imagine Othmann on the right, getting fed by Panarin...

Othmann scores that goal 99/100 times. That's his bread and butter.
