U20: World Junior Summer Showcase, July 28-Aug. 5, 2017, Plymouth, Michigan

[Paxon]

Did Canada cut players? Did Makar get sent home?

Not everyone can play in a given game. USA has 34 players on its roster, for example.

Fair enough. I judt didn't know if Canada had cut players to get their rosters down from 2 teams to one

Honestly, what the hell is Skinner doing in the net?

 

[JJTT]

Salo with a bomb 3-2

 

[Erikfromfin]

I find it interesting how the Finns stink every year vs USA half squads then gather up and play well in the actual tournament

 

[JJTT]

Nice finish by Innala, he's been pretty solid so far.

 

[Baemon Severson*]

Skinner is garb

 

[701]

Gadjovich came to play, but most of the Finns did too. They're so much quicker and sharper
right now.

 

[Erikfromfin]

Finnish powerplay has been abysmal now in the 3 showcase games.

 

[701]

Wondering if Glass is hurt?
Haven't seen him on the ice.

 

[Highlander23]

canada's forwards are quite bad (same for the goalies) its early i know but i expected more from some names !!

he's playing

 

[JJTT]

Another own goal..

 

[701]

I'm a Canucks fan, but I think I'll always love Valimaki. Who had a crappy call against him
allowing Canada to score near the end of the game. Calgary got a great D man for the next
decade or more.

Looks like Mcleod, Bitten, Pu, and Gadjovich, probably also Raddysh and Howden, are the go-to
forwards here at the end. And they score!

 

[JJTT]

Lol what the hell is Laavainen doing..

 

[JJTT]

Kuokkanen ties it 5-5. Great move by Ikonen at the line and nice pass by Räsänen.

 

[Erikfromfin]

Good game. Finns need to improve powerplay to win these games.

 

[Baemon Severson*]

Mcleod was trash all game but scored the winner. Love that kid

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

I thought Nurmi looked a little out of place (Sens prospect)

I like Howden's game. Lightning pick. They get it right a lot.

Mcleod didn't do much til 3 on 3 where he looked dominant.

Glass didn't play much. Suzuki was not impressive in his ice time.

Gadjovich didn't get on the score sheet but he played a good grinding game.

Dube looked good

Bitten was battling

Phillips is tiny .,, but he knows where the net is and he is quick.

Fabbro , Girard and Mahura led the way on D.

 

[Breakers]

The none 1st Round Picks were the best players for Canada.

Pu
Gadjovich
Bitten
Phillips
Mahura

 

[Gigantor The Goalie]

Dylan Wells deserves a star for coming in and being the composed, quiet goalie that Canada needed. Was by far the best goalie out there and kept the game from being a route by the Fins.

 

[King Weber]

why are all the swedes named Bauhaus?

 

[TitansVolsPreds615]

Nashville fan here, having seen Fabbro play on Team Canada last year I am familiar with his game, but what kind of player does Sam Girard compare to? Thanks for any insight.

 

[Snippit]

Wow Swedes zipping the puck around is impressive to watch
