why u guys want Celebrini, he played like a weenie
You know I kinda like the large European-style ice.
Less board hitting because the boards are so far away but more open-ice-hitting (but most guys are not good at open-ice hitting so it's more like contact and bumping)
Less shot-blocking (would prolong Mario's career if NHL ice was that big)
More room to skate in the zone on the sides and more wide-angle shots

Send Will Smith to the NHL Draft Lottery, I bet he can earn a secondary on getting us a #1 pick

Will Smith and Eric Pohlkamp with gold medals. Havelid and Bysted with silver medals. A great showing for Team teal.
Smith with a 3 point game in the gold medal win.

Jeez, there is no love lost between the 2004/2005 birth years for Sweden and the US. It’s really fitting that these two teams faced off for the WJC gold after the last two U18 tourneys.

its kind of interesting that it feels real. Hopefully these groups get to keep playing against each other internationally.
NHL ice is to small for the game now, it needs to be a bit wider but I wouldnt go all the way to european ice.
Ya those under 18 and under 16 international tournaments really help with these games being more feisty. As the majority of them have some kind of history with each other at these kinds of events.
I love how David keeps just being referred to as "Matt Carle's brother" lol

Definitely. Seen a lot of folks complaining about how the end of the game went but I love to see the fire from both sides.
I am not a fan of the one that was right in the center of the entire scrum, playing his first shift for the game in a 6-2 situation with 1 minute left.

Me either, but that’s on the adult coaches for sending him out, not the teenagers having a moment.
Now we just need Pittsburgh to start losing some games so we can draft Celebrini and Buium. Seems like Smith and Buium are good friends.

Only got thru the start of the 3rd before work pulled me back, but Smith had three more dangerous chances. A nice breakaway but attempt missed wide, and another nice cut to the front of the net and backhand went off the keeper's shoulders and out of play. Also a cut down the wing on his backhand where he didn't get much of it. Good threatening, not great finishing today, but 2 assists and a very solid performance all around.

I demand a recount…
Why is everybody talking about 3 assists? What did I miss?
Yeah it was only 2. Buium and Perreault goals.

My typo. Just got an iPad for Christmas, still getting used to it.

Tough game for Bystedt. He didn`t prevent Perrault to score 1st goal of the game. IIRC, he lost FO to Perrault which lead to Buium`s goal.
But I like his aggressiveness in his last shift, he made a couple of hits and tried to land more.

Bystedt was pretty awful in the medal rounds. Completely invisible offensively and detrimental defensively.
