2022 Hlinka Gretzky Cup

[Sergei Shirokov]

Agreed - maybe even better than his partner, Theo Lindstein

I've really liked Lindstein too actually, he stood out to me first.

He's made a # of good plays on both sides of the puck. Both look promising based on this game.

 

[FourQuarters]

I believe he has been getting more shifts as the game gas progressed.
Rightfully so.

He is a extra forward in first game, after a great selection camp. Then, a highlight goal and assist in first game.
His mentality is part of what makes him so good.

Craig Button has been watching the games after not putting Ritchie on his all star team.

G - Scott Ratzlaff (CAN)
D - Aron Kiviharju (FIN)
D - Cameron Allen (CAN)
F - Brayden Yager (CAN)
F - Otto Stenberg (SWE)
F - Eduard Sale (CZE)

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Has Stenberg been that great in this tournament?

This is the first game I've seen but haven't been that impressed. Doesn't seem to make much happen with the puck.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

This guy says Ratzlaff would help Germany. Stick to being a reporter - not even prime Hasek could have helped Germany win a game LMAO.

Yes just not against Canada. I don't think any forward has looked good vs Canada so hard to judge his game against them.

Not Benson's finest moment / PP.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Kalan Lind is such a shit disturber.
He’s a mini Brad Marchand lmao

Heidt has been better on the PP

He's bigger than Marchand.

Heidt has been better on the PP

Benson was a mess on that PP.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Colby Barlow with the nifty mitts. Jesus.

 

[jj cale]

Razzer!!

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Molendyk went flying after going for that hit lmao

Cristall just saved a goal with a stick lift.
Then he took a stupid penalty..

 

[ORRFForever]

Canada's playing with fire. Less than 10 minutes left.

 

[canuck2010]

I don't have any stream or TSN to watch the game but I'm guessing Canada is playing the "old Prevent defence" instead of what gave them the lead.

 

[Erikfromfin]

Ratzlaff should be easy MVP of this tournee... what is his draft status in general? any hopes going first round?

 

[jj cale]

Razzer!!

No, that's not what is happening, they are still pushing.

One of my favourite aspects of junior hockey is the amount of mistakes which allows windows for amazing skill to be displayed. A double edged sword.

Actually no. It's been back and forth. Canada could have easily scored another couple goals.

Yup.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Cam Allen just made a fantatic play to deny a chance at a wraparound while Ratzlaff was out of position.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Pellikka out on this one instead of Lindstein

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Denver Barkey draws a penalty

 

[ORRFForever]

Tripping : Sweden.

One more Canadian goal and this is over.

 

[jj cale]

Clear trip.........let's put em away boys.
