Prospect Info: 2018 World Junior Championships - Buffalo, NY, USA - Dec. 26th 2017 to Jan. 5th 2018

[GeorgeKaplan]

Lots of non calls this period

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

These refs have been so awful.

 

[Ratelleitlikeitis]

Oh Lias...tough call there

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Canada has committed like 3 or 4 penalties not called yet.

 

[FireGerardGallant]

Wow these refs suck. They might have a future in the NHL

 

[Ratelleitlikeitis]

These refs have been so awful.

Actually they've been pretty fair...letting the teams play

 

[Trxjw]

I like Lias trying to play with some bite, but he has to pick his spots better. He's taken a few dumb penalties this tournament.

Edit: Power kill!

 

[Ratelleitlikeitis]

Swedes happiest when they are short handed

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

Lias so smart that he knows he needs to put himself in the box for Sweden to score

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Brannstrom high-sticked, nothing called. 50/50 between Andersson and Kyrou, call it on Andersson. There was another earlier in the game that I saw but I don't remember exactly what it was.

 

[Killem Dafoe]

Beautiful shot there. Great shortie.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Are you kidding? How is that not a penalty?

 

[Ratelleitlikeitis]

Well they didn't call the flop by Petterson

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

Still pretty upset that we didn't draft Brannstrom, kid's gonna be great

 

[Mac n Gs]

Damnit Andersson may be hurt

 

[bl02]

WTF just looking forward to watching Lias after getting home from work and just announced he has gone into locker room. Of course.

 

[FireGerardGallant]

These refs are a joke

 

[Ratelleitlikeitis]

Oh yes he did...good call. Trip, interference was pretty clear on the reverse angle .

 

[bl02]

If its the same shoulder honestly why is this kid playing? why create any structural damage that could occur when the shoulder has been under previous distress without letting it heal properly. Especially Hockey.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

The amount of non calls on Canada... My God.

Because this is a once in a lifetime opportunity

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

Hopefully Lias was just heading to the locker room to get a head start on icing that shoulder between periods. Either way, unless it's something major, after his comments about only missing time if he loses an arm or leg, I can't see him not being back for the 3rd in a tied gold medal game

He's done that the past two games now. I'm not particularly worried...yet.

Yeah, I gotta think he's going to take some time off once the tournament is over

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Andersson returned
