2016 IIHF World Junior Championships

Blackwood has some Pavelec in him. Drops down off his skates way too soon and gets stuck. Flopping all over the ice.

You only pull him if you feel his confidence is shot though, the guy on the bench is worse.

exactly what i was thinking. looks just like him

 

[Channelcat]

He's got zero confidence right now. Its glaring...just watching him. I'd pull him

 

[Rheged]

Holy crap.. Taking 2 penalties on the same play..

 

[CorgisPer60]

Virtanen is some type of player. He's E.Kane-lite for sure. Stupid, selfish penalties.

 

[CorgisPer60]

Wow. You rarely see that.

 

[Rheged]

Shoot yourself in the foot again and again..

 

[Deif]

Shoot yourself in the foot again and again..

This is absurd.

 

[barrywpg]

selfish and stupid

 

[Aavco Cup]

Shoot yourself in the foot again and again..

Just like your Winnipeg Jets. Undisciplined with a poor PK

 

[AnonoJet]

Has Canada ever sent a bigger idiot to tthis tournament than Virtanen? This guy has a brain cramp almost 100% of the time.

 

[Rheged]

Well, that was a real good hockey game at least.

 

[mzappa]

Canada just didn't come together in this tournament, while Finland's offence is unstoppable and on home ice.

Virtanen's double minor was the nail in the coffin.

Strome shouldn't be going after the ref like that after the game. Smarten up and keep it classy.

ps - congrats to the boys for a hard fought game and tourney!

 

[Edgar Halliwax]

Well, at least we know there is a team just as ******* undisciplined as the Jets. That was *** damned frustrating to watch. Team Canada got what they deserved.

 

[kurpitsa]

Good game dudes!! It could have turned either way

 

[Just Ducky]

Wow some absolute boneheads on this team.

Our best players ended up costing us...

Congrats to the Fin's though- they got some real studs.

 

[puck stoppa]

Exciting game, boys worked their tails off! Goalie struggles and pims did them in. Liked sanheim on back end and enjoy konecky up front, marner showed his flash in third. But those young Finn players, wow!

 

[puck stoppa]

Tough one for hicketts there tho on short glass. As I said before, would Lemieux not be better than virtanen?

 

[Derfel*]

... and suddenly the IIHF makes 25% less on the tournament through ad revenue.

How so?

 

[BigZ65]

I can see being upset with the officials in this one. Pretty much all the scrum penalties are a result of poor game management by them. I can't expect a guy to get pummeled 4 times and not react or have a teammate react. That's ridiculous. Linesmen need to be in there and the refs need to take the intiator or both.

Virtanen is a complete waste of a plane ticket and uniform.

A lot of people would of been better than Virtanen. Jayce Hawryluk would of been better even I'm sure.

Blackwood sucks too.

 

[Hhane Snidy]

I wasn't expecting to watch the Jets Jr. today. Wanted some stress relief.

 

[Derfel*]

How so?

A whole nation stops watching the tournament (representing half of the viewership worldwide), and Canadian Tire decides they won't run any extra ads.

Not sure to me it feels like you would be trading one undisciplined spaz for another undisciplined spaz. I would vote neither for this format at least.
