HF Habs: U18 World Men's Hockey Championship, April 25-May 5

[MarkovsKnee]

Canada gets a penalty 16 seconds in. Lol

Czech PP.

 

[Vachon23]

Iginla from Elick

That could be the 2 first round pick by the Habs

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Carter George getting back-to-back starts, so Canada's #1. He made a terrific glove save.

Iginla scores SH. 2-0. Iginla attempting to pass on 2 on 1 goes in off Czech D.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

It's getting reviewed for off-side.

Really surprised they are. It looks good.

Yeah, it's not off-side.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Czechs were a on a PP, but get a penalty for a failed challenge, so now a 4 on 4, with a short Canadian PP to follow.

Well, not that short. 1:29 PP for Canada.

 

[Habs]

Dude, they're not even remotely the same type of player. Brady is a power forward and always was. Eiserman is a volume shooter, and not really physical at all. He has more in common with Michael Ryder than he does Brady Tkachuk.

that's not what I'm saying at all. I'm suggesting people have to chill on knocking on how they perceive a player because the same people wanted KK over Brady. I have not followed Eiserman at all, I have no dog in this fight.

That being said, I still don't like Reinbacher lol

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Even though Canada scored on its first 2 shots, you can't blame the Czech goalie at all. Both were bounces. He's playing quite well as Canada is fiercely attacking the net. They're creating a ton of traffic and moving the puck quickly.

is Iginla playing today?

That's fair. If Eiserman had a better physical game, I'd like him a lot more. I'm not big on players who I think are on the side soft.

I'm ok with Reinbacher, but I really, really wanted Leonard.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

is Iginla playing today?

Yes, and playing much better than yesterday. He just scored again.

Iginla. 3-0.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

4-0 Canada. Canada is going to breeze to a Gold medal. This is the strongest team Canada since the Covid one in 2021 in Texas.

And they have a really good coach

 

[MarkovsKnee]

And they have a really good coach.

Noticeably so. Team's forechecking is intense.

 

[Whitesnake]

Iginla not wearing 12 makes no sense!!!!

 

[Adam Michaels]

Helenius with 3 assists as Finland is running roughshod on Norway. 7-0 after 2

 

[WeThreeKings]

Much better from Iginla earlier in this one. If you're looking at Eiserman, Iginla is the more effective version of that with less overall goals.

He's just not that puck control dynamic talent that you'd get with Demidov

 

[Vachon23]

Noticeably so. Team's forechecking is intense.

MacDougall should get a chance pro somewhere

Perfect season this year in Usport
Cam to coach the Sea dogs for the Memorial Cup and he win it

Any of them good assists? His one yesterday wasn't anything

 

[Adam Michaels]

I haven't watched any games, what number is he wearing?

 

[Habs]

That's fair. If Eiserman had a better physical game, I'd like him a lot more. I'm not big on players who I think are on the side soft.

I'm ok with Reinbacher, but I really, really wanted Leonard.

Leonard was my choice as well, or Michkov both made a lot of sense. Oh well

Stat watching as I'm at work.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Czechs getting 1:42. 5 on 3.

Defensive player threw puck over glass but it went into bench. They called it delay of game.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Unbelievable penalty killing by Canada. Matthew Schaefer comes out of the box and gets in on a breakaway. Czech save.

 

[le_sean]

Man that puck control by Iggy on his 1st goal was nice. Puck in the air, behind him, controls it for a perfect zone entry then skate to stick. Got to love that.

Helenius is absolutely dominating Norway. Lol

He's a beautiful skater. He looks like Jack Hughes against Norway.
