GDT: 2018 IIHF World Junior Championship/Buffalo, NY/Gold-Canada/Silver-Sweden/Bronze-United States

[old kummelweck]

Swedes don't like to do the dirty work in front of their own net.

 

[Kyndig]

If USA didn't go full Sabres on the powerplay this game is tied...

 

[Chainshot]

Hughes making that happen.

 

[Jame]

This is such nonsense. It's a one game elimination situation. One team finished their chances, the other team didn't. It's hockey.

Ok “All teams play the same systems” guy

 

[Push Dr Tracksuit]

they can’t comeback and tie it, can they?

 

[Chainshot]

Hughes making that happen too.

 

[Jame]

So you’re saying there’s a chance

Brayton J. Wilson @BJWilsonWGR -
It’s 4-2 now with 3:01 to go. Brady Tkachuk gets #TeamUSA’s second goal.
That was with Oettinger pulled at the 3:43 mark of the third. #WJC18 #NHLDraft

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

Let's keep in mind how long this final roster has been in place. This is not a National Development Team thats been together in Ann Arbor for a year or more. Lots of guys (Mittlestadt) were added. Some as late as December.

 

[Chainshot]

If they'd put this amount of energy into any of the previous PP chances, this would be a far different outcome.

 

[Chainshot]

Oh hell. Yamamoto not looking good there. Hope he's okay.

 

[littletonhockeycoach]

Man that was cheap..... And unnecessary.....

 

[Jame]

If Sweden can suffocate space the way the did today, against Canada... they’ll win gold

 

[SabresFan26]

Oh hell. Yamamoto not looking good there. Hope he's okay.

dirty play

 

[Kyndig]

Yay a 4 second 2 man advantage.

 

[26CornerBlitz]

Wasn't much of a crowd for the game.

 

[joshjull]

Casey had more than enough scoring chances to make a difference in this game and came up empty. Tough end to nice run up to this point.

Mike Morreale‏ @mikemorrealeNHL -
SWE defeats USA 4-2. Gustavsson w/ 29 saves.

Brayton J. Wilson‏ @BJWilsonWGR -
#TeamUSA’s comeback will fall short as Sweden will play for the gold medal tomorrow night.
The United States will play for bronze. 4-2 is the final. Shots were 31-20 in favor of the Americans. #WJC18

 

[Kyndig]

Well as disappointing as that was at least we have a player in CM.

 

[SundherDome]

Woll looked like trash the whole tournament

 

[Snippit]

Canada's officially favourite for the gold

Very underwhelming game today

 

[HaNotsri]

dirty play

Small payback for all the diving. Really stupid.

Is it normal for americans to dive this much? I’ve never seen it before, looks like a south american soccer team...

 

[Moskau]

Let the character assassination of Casey Mittelstadt begin on the prospects board.

 

[LaxSabre]

 

[Chainshot]

So a couple of pro-Sabre tidbits out of this were Davidsson setting up the backbreaking SHG and how Mittelstadt pushed late. Nylander gets a curious player award over Pettersson too.
