Youth Winter Olympics 2016 Lillehammer

[William H Bonney]

Will he play for Sweden or USA?

He's on Team USA. He's not eligible for Team Sweden in IIHF events.

[JJTT]

Is there a roster limit or something? Russia has 15 forwards when other teams have 9.

 

[FinPanda]

What I've understood, they have 9 forwards because they play 3x 15 minutes.

Eliteprospect say Pavel is Arkadi's son.

 

[KarIgo87]

It's extended roster, so soon it will be cut down to something like 10-11 F and 6-7 D I guess. In Youth Olympics they play by 3 lines.

I think forwards would be something like

Shestopalov - Khovanov - Svechnikov
Kotkov - Zhabreev - Rotenberg
Denisenko - Koreshkov - Mutovin
(Denezkin, Nesvetaev, Sokolov)

I don't really know about Rotenberg, he's playing with Zhabreev in his club but I'm not sure it's worth to put him in the final roster. He'll be there anyway though so doesn't matter.

Defence would be something like:

Malyshev - Solopanov
Zhilyakov - Babintsev
Degtyarev - Kupchikhin
(Okhotyuk, Sitdikov)

P.S. Damn, forgot about Nizhnikov. Really wanna see him playing so I hope he'll be chosen instead Rotenberg.

 

[KarIgo87]

Well, here I see final roster for Russian team:

GOALIES:
Georgiy Dubrovskiy
Amir Miftakhov

FORWARDS:
Maksim Denezhkin
Grigoriy Dinisenko
Aleksandr Zhabreev
Vladislav Kotkov
Kirill Nizhnikov
Pavel Rotenberg
Andrey Svechnikov
Egor Sokolov
Aleksandr Khovanov

DEFENCEMEN:
Gleb Babintsev
Bogdan Zhilyakov
Danila Zhuravlev
Pavel Kupchikhin
Anton Malyshev
Ilyas Sitdikov


So, no Shestopalov, part of killer Ak Bars line with Svechnikov and Khovanov. But for NT they often played with other players, Kotkov for example.
Rotenberg kept his spot. Well, all right then. He's not that bad and with Zhabreev even can be good.
Nizhnikov is in the line-up, so it's good too. But no Mutovin sadly.
Also glad that Denezkin made the team. 2019 draft eligible prospect.

My updated lines would be:

Kotkov - Khovanov - Svechnikov
Denisenko - Denezhkin - Nizhnikov
Sokolov - Zhabreev - Rotenberg

Malyshev - Kupchikhin
Zhilyakov - Babintsev
Sitdikov - Zhuravlev

At least if he becomes a pro, he won't need salary, good for some teams.

[Hoglunder]

Anyone know why not Sweden are invited?

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Finland won last time why not now? They are going to be favorites in U18.

 

[Erikfromfin]

Anyone know why not Sweden are invited?

5 teams in mens and womens category and Sweden was ranked 6th in Running order to pick whether to have Womens or Mens team... and the host Norway got team in both.

Running order

1. USA (chose men)
2. Canada (chose men)
3. Czech Republic (chose women)
4. Russia (chose men)
5. Finland (chose men)
6. Sweden (had to choose women)

wow how come leevi aaltonen didnt make it into that group

 

[FinPanda]

wow how come leevi aaltonen didnt make it into that group

I think they didn't want to have underagers.

 

[tinozz]

I think they didn't want to have underagers.

that would be the only logical reason since jesperi kotkaniemi is the only forward who i would consider better than leevi from that group.

and nevasaari maybe

 

[Keke]

Like FinPanda said, they won't take underagers in this tournament.

Saarela wasn't in 2012 either and he would have been the best player in the team.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

5 teams in mens and womens category and Sweden was ranked 6th in Running order to pick whether to have Womens or Mens team

Why were they ranked low? just random?

 

[Erikfromfin]

Why were they ranked low? just random?

Its according to combination of 2014 and 2015 u18 world champs from both men and women.

Sweden
2014 Women 6th
2015 Women 6th
2014 Men 4th
2015 Men 8th

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Its according to combination of 2014 and 2015 u18 world champs from both men and women.

Thanks. Damn, really wanted to see this 00-group in this tournament.

 

[FinPanda]

Finland-Norway 5-0 after first or close to the end of the period.. SOG 16-0.

Edit: damn they take too many penalties now, it'll cost in USA, Russia and Canada games

 

[tinozz]

Well that game seemed like a big joke 11-0 shots 36-3

(too bad a team like norway can participate just because theyre hosting but sweden is left out)

 

[FinPanda]

Goals Finland-Norway.

 

[Kshahdoo]

So Russia beat Canada 4-3. Svechnikov with 3 points.
