GDT: 2014 World Junior Championships

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

That was the only game I watched and god damn it was a good one.

 

[Nordberg]

No shame in losing to this Finnish team. Sweden lacked the complete team effort and decisiveness we had earlier in the tourny and this was a completely different Finland than the team we defeated handily in the round robin. What an effort from them. I can't even feel bad about losing to that team. So jealous of the teams who owns the rights to Teräväinen and Ristolainen. Ballers. Also mad respect to the Finnish coach Karri Kivi. Not a big fan of Rikard Grönborg. He tends to lose his composure.

Chicago and Buffalo.

Ristolainen was a beast.

Ristolainen was a beast.

The worst part is that Buffalo has Zadorov too

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Zadorov is impressive. Usually, mother Russia does not produce a lot of good dman prospects, but this kid has so much to like.

 

[Unkki]

OH **** IM SO GLAD! Ristolainen makes the most important goal of the tournament, from the same team that Kipper and Ortio are! Im so proud and happy!

Feaster drafting Jankowski over just picking TT is so frustrating. So glad that moron is canned.

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

TT was already gone by the time the Flames picked.

 

[FLAMES666]

TT was already gone by the time the Flames picked.

We traded down

I hope Poirier is laughing as he continues to light up the Q

Flames are smarter than everyone else and traded down (always works dont you know). We could have had Maata or TT, but Feaster is le smart.

 

[DCDM]

TT was already gone by the time the Flames picked.

TT was there at 14, we were 13, we traded down to 21 to take Janko Unchained

Don Cherry said on Coach's corner that the team Canada selection was political. Here's a link to the video:

You also have to wonder what affect the NHL hoarding players is having on these tournaments, such as Calgary and Monahan.

 

[MarkGio]

Does this finally solve the Brett Sutter argument?

Other teams were missing huge players as well. Finland was without Maata and Barkov for example and they still won Gold.

Canada still had the best roster on paper. I just think they stopped caring after a bit.

Why were we arguing about Brett Sutter? Because Darryl drafting his own son was nepotism?

 

[MarkGio]

Whoops! I meant Brent Sutter.


Too many damn Sutters!

 

[MarkGio]

That Butter was a good coach, given his (no longer) perfect WJC record.

I am not so sure, bad choices don't make him a good coach, it is possible to have bad coaching and a bad selection process

 

[Remember2004]

I'm not sure if im the only one but when it comes to WJC I rather our prospects do good if they are in it than Canada doing well :/ Is that bad? LOL

 

[YMCMBYOLO]

I could see it being political. For example, Frank Corrado didn't make it last year, even though he was having a hell of a season. Here's hoping the Olympics TC won't be political.
