World Junior Thread II

Schnieder hasn't really played a big part in this tournament. All 4 Leafs players have outplayed him. Leafs 100% made the right pick in Amirov.

Bobby Mac has been consistent on his view. And, he is right. The rule says that it was offside so they have no choice but to change the call.
Good job by the Canadian video team.

 

[Wafflewhipper]

Yup, a worse player than they ended up with. That's the dream

That must be a fine line you are using to distinguish “worse” there son

 

[Anthrax442]

They should change it to a 5-10 second review. If you can determine within the time frame that it is offside, then its offside, if not, that means it's too close to call but would correct things like the Duchesne goal.

Or if there was like 4 touches or one SOG or smtn. Going back 30 seconds is redonculous

I am not coming on this board and hearing about Schneider and Guhle for the next 3+ years. Seriously, enough. No one cares what you think or thought pre-draft.

Besides, playing defense for a team with 12+ first round picks as forwards that don’t lose the puck isn’t that particularly difficult.

Can’t think of one Canadian player that’s looked poor this tournament.

They’ve both played well. We don’t know if they made the right choice or not and I don’t think you can declare that at this point in their careers.

Tell that to the coach who sends him out there in every situation and the poise he has is incredible. Just gathers pucks off the boards and makes nice plays. He’s not flashy enoughfor you I’m thinking is the disconnect.

 

[Twine Tickler]

Abramov/Amirov look really good. Amirov work ethic is strongbtongo with the skills. Abramov see’s the ice so well and poised. Can’t wait to get them on the Marlies.

Not sure I feel like amirov has had a good game. I think he’s been on for a couple goals against. the second goal for sure. he turned the puck over at Canada’s blue line with a bad pass if I’m not mistaken. Canada turned it back, gained the zone, established pressure and he kinda looked lost throughout the whole shift. Had a couple chances where he could have made a play and just got out worked. In fairness I feel like everyone on Russia has looked outmatched by the Canadians. Only positive play I see on Russia is abromov and unfortunately podkolzin. Hate the Canucks, but this guy is a very solid player

 

[Nineteen67]

Poor Abramov. Goal taken away because of an offside review.

He’ll have a few of those with the Leafs, no doubt.

 

[Leafs at Knight]

No one would've even brought up Schnieder if he didn't score. I've hardly noticed him this tournament.

 

[Nineteen67]

Ok boys play a hard period and finish this off.

 

[Nineteen67]

Back away. Don’t let goad you.

I've proposed different ideas throughout. I think there should be additional linesman in the stands right at the blueline to watch for offsides. Then if a team challenges, all these linesman including the 2 on the ice would talk and if 1 of them think it was offside that is when they would review. If none of them felt it was offside in real time then it should count.

 

[Nineteen67]

Leafs should have drafted this Russian goalie....

 

[Stand Witness]

Eye test has me thinking Abramov has that “it” factor. The way he moves out there looks like a future NHL star. Like PPG star.

 

[Superstar]

I guess it's timberrrrr...instead of simbaaaaa...right?

Don’t know about star, but I can see top six potential for sure.

Abramov and Amirov have been Russia’s only dynamic players tonight.

To be fair, he is Canada's 3rd or 4th choice. Very clear that Drysdale and Byram are the leaders in this D group.

But I agree, he has looked solid.

 

[The Podium]

Not trying to be biased but Abramov and Amirov are the only noticeable players for Russia this period.

 

[Nineteen67]

Schneider is a strong player.

 

[TMLegend]

Schneider just dominated Amirov defending on the rush and into the boards afterwards.

 

[tmlms13]

Russia's equipment manager needs to get fired after this game. I think he forgot the stick'em back in Moscow.

Askarov has been a ton better since the fourth goal and is keeping them in it....

It’s hard for anyone to look good against this Canada forcheck. They are on every puck first

That was another good shift by him. He’s had a solid game.
