WJC: 2011 U18 World Championship (rosters and general talk)

[Alessandro Seren Rosso]

I really like Kucherov-Grigorenko duo.

They are awesome. But we should wait and see what better opposition will bring to us.

 

[The Saw Is the Law]

Games now:

Switzerland-USA
Czech Republic-Sweden

Sigh at no stream, I love to watch these games.

10.49 0 - 1 EQ SWE 29. FORSBERG, Filip (11. BJORKLUND, Gustav)

43.28 1 - 1 PP1 CZE 21. KVAPIL, Tomas (28. HRBAS, Marek) (5. FRK, Martin)

51.33 2 - 1 PP1 CZE 26. JASKIN, Dmitrij (25. BERANEK, Petr)

 

[urho]

Miika Salomäki = Tuomo Ruutu. Someone will have a steal if he goes late 2nd round or later.

U.S. currently tied with the Swiss 1.1 after two periods. Typical IIHF exuberance in calling penalities in full effect.

Are you watching on FASTHockey?

Players at this age are usually not very disciplined, and the refs not very good. Swedish game is just the same. Goes both ways, though.

Trying to. The quality is terrible.

True enough. A bit exasperating though. Sucks the life right out of a game.

 

[William H Bonney]

Yeah. The laptop I've been stuck with as of late is so bad I don't even have that option but the one time I did buy a credit to a FASTHockey broadcast I was thoroughly disappointed.

 

[joe89]

I watched a few games on fasthockey this past summer. Horrible camera placement, sub-par quality and a screaming announcer. Not worth the 6-7 bucks or what the cost was unless you desperately want to watch the game.

Both games tied with around half a period left to play. Interesting. Brodin is right on his way to become a SEL champion by the way so he'll be joining the team soon enough.

2-1 USA, 2-1 Czechs. Penalties killing Sweden right now.

 

[kiluj]

wow, these two games are really close.

 

[Jim Morrison]

Either this Team Sweden is super undisciplined or the refs are strange. I'm going with the former rather than the latter.

 

[duga]

here are the goals of the Rus-Svk match. (the last 3 goals are missing though)

 

[Garl]

6 penalties in a row for Sweden.

 

[Garl]

Refs give us a chance with a holding call on Jaskin.

 

[joe89]

Seems like their goalie has been spectacular, tho.

 

[cibtom]

Wow... Czech Republic - Sweden 2:1 two minutes before end of third period

Edit: 58.37 GK out SWE
Edit2: Game ended. 2:1 for Czechs

 

[Garl]

Yeah, Mahovsky is new Hasek.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

U.S. pulls it out 2-1. Outshot the Swiss 46-30.

Edit2: Game ended. 2:1 for Czechs

good result for you guys, congratulations.

 

[Garl]

That's it. Congrats to Czechs, and congrats to Sweden for:

45 shots and just 1 goal.
5 penalties in a row in a decisive period.
Underachieving of main stars.

Meet your typical Team Sweden!

I think you got Team Sweden mixed up with Team Finland.

 

[joe89]

Massive shot advantage and playing shorthanded for half the 3rd. Doubt they will be happy, hopefully a good wakeup call. Best players need to do more, also Brodin joining should help the team a lot.

 

[duga]

unfortunatelyno point, but the result is closer than expected, anyway the important games (against GER and SVK) are still coming...
