GDT: 2019 IIHF U20 WJC (HF Sharks)

[Lebanezer]

Lol at Poehling being voted MVP by the media. He looked real good covering air on Finland’s GWG. Now I feel bad because they showed him crying on TV.

 

[The Nemesis]

Sasha named Player of the Game for the usa

 

[one2gamble]

makes me sad when they cry

 

[sharks_dynasty]

It is sad. They are pretty broken up about losing. Looks like they gave it their all.

 

[sharks_dynasty]

Happy for Sasha! Great game for him.

 

[The Nemesis]

Sasha getting his medal.

He was great for most of the tournament.

 

[Lebanezer]

He was great for most of the tournament.

I’m super biased, he’s not Chmelevski.

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

He was great for most of the tournament.

Would you say Chmelevski was better than Josh Norris?

Considering he had to claw his way up from checking line duty to prominence, yes I would.

Norris was good from what I saw, but he lacks Chmelevski's dynamic ability. His game was stronger in a meat & potatoes sort of way. Sasha's game was a combo of driving offence himself and finding the soft spots to be in at the right time (very Pavelski-esque in that regard. That usa #8 seemed fitting)

 

[The Nemesis]

Good couple weeks for the sharks prospects who had shots at their wjc teams.

One took it and forced his way onto the grandest stage.

The other took being cut as motivation to cram it down his federation's throat.

Good points concerning Sasha. He had to battle hard all tournament long. Not much ice time for him. As the games became more important, he rose to the pressure and helped this team.
Reminiscent to his short stint with the Barracuda.
Glad he’s a Shark.

They're calling Group B the "Group of Death", and rightfully so. Cinderella story for Germany?

If Germany has any solace, it's that they should be able to take Kazakhstan and escape relegation

That's just stupid

 

[The Nemesis]

That's just stupid

Its automatic based on the final standings in order to balance out the pools. Can't help it that Canada and Sweden ****ed it up.

 

[OrrNumber4]

Germany has earned the right to an international team at any hockey tournament.

 

[BaileyMacTavish]

Proud of Sasha. 7pts in 7 GP while working his way up the line up is impressive. Hope to see him succeed here.

So 1 of canada, russia, usa, czech won't even make it to the playoff play. That is just nuts.

 

[do0glas]

Chmelevskis feed to norris was so silky

No, they'll all make the playoffs. Top 4 teams from each pool advance to QFs, 5th one goes to relegation round

 

[PacificOceanPotion]

Hoping Kotkov finds a way to make team Russia next year. I think they could use some of this.
