Post-Game Talk: 2018 World Junior Championships (U20) 12/26/17 - 1/5/18

"The hunter". It started in his club Djurgården.

First Djurgården player the Caps have drafted that looks like an NHL player in waiting?

Previous attempts:

Bjorn Nord 9th round 2000
Henrik Petre 6th round 1997

Best overall Djurgården NHL player? Kent Nilsson? Won a Cup in 87.

"The Supermodel" is what I'm rolling with.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

I can't wait for the obvious Guns and Roses song for his first NHL goal...

We need a new long hair.

5th rounder. Great choice by the staff.

Dahlin, 0+2 assists in each game.

Good name for him regardless

What's the take on Jonsson Fjallby around here, do you expect him to make an apperance next season?

That would be pretty impressive considering he was a 5th round pick in 2016. No idea what his contract situation looks like in the SHL but I think coming over to Hershey next season would be encouraging.

so was Jesper Bratt

Yes, but for every Jesper Bratt there are dozens if not hundreds of late round picks that never sniff a game in the NHL.

I can't be the only one who sees it.

Denmark isn't just having problems scoring, they can't even get shots

Thats a bad team. The other 4 teams are somewhat decent. I could be wrong but I think if Finland beat the US tomorrow. The US could finish as low as 4th.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

And if pigs fly.....

 

[hockeykicker]

And if pigs fly.....

What do you mean if? Pigs do fly! I've seen it

 

[maacoshark]

And if pigs fly.....

I'm kind of hoping Finland beats the US.

[Sam Spade]

Well I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Buffalo. The set up for the kids was nice in the Championship Village, everything there was free which made it extra nice.

Watched three games in total, my biggest takeaway, Pens are gonna regret trading Ryan Reaves for that 31st pick because Klim Klostin is a really good player. Big kid, great hands and fast.

Jonsson Fjallby walked right past my son and I in his uniform and he looks taller than 6 feet.

 

[ovikovy817]

Kostin is good. And That 4th line line with him and the future number 2 of the draft (Svechnikov) is great

 

[ovikovy817]

It seems like Russia will get the winner of USA FIN in quarterfinals

 

[maacoshark]

I think Russia can still finish in first in their pool.

We need To beat Sweden by 2 goals. Will be difficult

 

[maacoshark]

Thats not too much to ask for. Of course the outcome of the US/Finland game might change how the teams play.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

I'm kind of hoping Finland beats the US.

Of course you are.

 

[maacoshark]

Of course you are.

And why do you think that is?

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

I could go in soooo many directions....
