GDT: 2017 World Junior Ice Hockey Championship - Chabot vs White for Gold TONIGHT

[Sens of Anarchy]

Myers is undrafted isn't he?

Was. He signed with the Flyers on an invite. Definitely a miss by 30 teams at the Draft x 7

Flyers amateur scouting is killing it lately. So many good draft picks and signings.

Dahlen just scored for Sweden. Up 2-0 vs Russia in the first

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Dahlen should be one of the leading scorers of the tourney.

I wanna change my handle to HelloDahlen in tribute to Zsa Zsa Gabor.

 

[Back in Black]

About 8 hours to go, till we beat up on the Swiss. Anyone like cheese?

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Dahlen should be one of the leading scorers of the tourney.

No so sure about that. Swede forwards are a pretty talented group.

 

[starling]

Sweden-Russia highlights. Dahlen (#27) and Ahl (#11) both scored.



1-0 Jens Lööke (Carl Grundström, Lias Andersson) - 09:05 -PP
2-0 Jonathan Dahlén (Jacob Moverare) - 12:54
3-0 Joel Eriksson Ek (Alexander Nylander, Filip Ahl) - 21:56
4-0 Filip Ahl (Alexander Nylander) - 53:59

4 - 0 USA over Czechs after 1

 

[Six Assets]

White and Chabot must dominate

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

3-2 Canada Hischier has 2 for the Swiss

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Chabot has been very impressive. First look I've had on him.

 

[Tundraman]

The way Canada plays the pp once they set up in the zone it's mostly a 4 on 4 deeper box with Chabot high and largely not involved in the play for a lot of the time. Sometimes one guy skates higher to take a shot but he takes the spot that Chabot should be in and boxes out his own D. It's kind of weird to leave one man out like that.

 

[Back in Black]

4-3 in O/T against the Swiss. Especially after being up 3-0 is scary.

Wow that's a nice little pool.

Canada always has one stinker even in tournaments we win - hopefully this exhibition game against the Swiss was it. One of the biggest keys, as it always is in a short tournament, is goaltending. One of those two has to claim the #1 job and run with it. We haven't had a goalie really shine in this event since Tokarski eight years ago...

Tonight's the start of real games, right?

 

[Sens]

Wow that's a nice little pool.

And they have a 20 year Carlo breaking in

Chabot should be the D of the tourney, he will impress. Closets comparison for me is Sandis Ozolinshch who was a tall guy who was just smooth as silk rushing the puck. He has an EK like calmness, but he doesn't hit the wholes like EK does, he's more of a weaver, like Ozolisnh, closet comparison in a Sens uniform would be Havlat when he would go coast to coast and hold onto the puck for forever. Made the neutral zone disappear, Chabot does that, forechecking doesn't exist for him. He only seems to get into trouble when he holds onto the puck for to long, like Havlat did.

The juniors also have a habit of over passing and passing up on shots early in tournaments, always being polite and wanting to share, once we get over being nice and we get a bit of a scare they seem to come around quickly.

It is, but it's only the Preliminary Round. Quarter Finals don't start 'till Jan.02

BIG GAME TONIGHT @ 7:00 PM AGAINST RUSSIA

 

[Sens]

This Canada team looks a lot weaker then previous years

 

[Very Stable Genius]

Rasmus Dahlin is going to be a star. Kid is so good, Karlsson-talent level good.
