U18: 2018 U18 WJC's Magnitogorsk & Chelyabinsk Russia.

[Czechboy]

Great time for lauko to score a goal

 

[Czechboy]

No goal... but a very nice power play...

 

[Alex K]

Both Russia and US are pretty good defensively today

 

[FinPanda]

Russia has a 50-50 chance... Czechs have a 10-90 chance... back to back bad penalties won’t help...

We'll see..

 

[hawkeerox]

Canada just not looking good here - and another penalty for Noel...

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Russian goaltender has made some really good saves.

 

[APVJ]

Getting nervous for Canada...

 

[Czechboy]

I get we won't win this and Canada is a massive powerhouse. Few good things though

1. Dostal is playing great
2. Despite not scoring, our powerplays both looked very good
3. All the pressure is on Canada here and we are talking about 16 and 17 year old boys
4. The Czechs are playing this perfect in that they shoot at every opportunity.. they may not score clean but they may get a lucky bounce somewhere
5. Czechs need to see if they can draw a few more penalties on frustrated Canadians
6. Czechs need to stay out of the box

I honestly thought the game would be over by the third period (eg. 5-0)... surprised.

 

[hawkeerox]

End of second still Czechs 1, Canada 0. Perhaps the Canadians underestimated the Czech team?

You just might win

Well, Czechs destroyed France, and only lost to Rusia 3-2 and to Finland 4-2, which tells you that they have plenty of talent and can put up a good fight. You guys can win this - Canada not looking like a powerhouse right now, and as you say we're dealing with 16 and 17 year old boys, so they can be inconsistent!

 

[APVJ]

Muh bets

 

[hawkeerox]

Muh bets

You think?
I don't know, but they have 20 minutes to be a different team.

 

[Alex K]

What a save by Miftakhov!! Just robbed Jack Hughes!

 

[MaxV]

Judging by their performance during group stage, a defensive struggle is certainly not what we have expected out of USA-Russia game.

 

[Maluk11]

2-0 for Czechs!

 

[Alex K]

Lol! SH

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

wow, upset alert

 

[kudla]

Well, bye Canada

What do you say now Wooren?

 

[Czechboy]

Tsn feed went nuts... not happy. Stay out of box... counter attack for three... try and get third goal... do NOT sit 5 back and defend

 

[Czechboy]

Well, bye Canada

Not even close... lots of hockey left

 

[Czechboy]

Czechs look f***en terrible... clearly nervous and defending

 

[Alex K]

Game over((

 

[TheFinnishTrap]

That was a pretty terrible sequence by the Czechs. Did their coach make them do bag skating during the intermission?

 

[kudla]

Oh damn
