2019 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship | Finland has defeated USA to win gold!

[Zombotron]

Did he do that?

2011 first round vs. Montreal

A short tournament is a small sample size to judge a player. I am curious to see how Hughes does when he turns pro. He is slight, especially for a defender, and in my small sample size of watching him, he does a few things that won't work in the pros. His development is crucial for the Nucks success. There just isn't much after him for d man prospects

Extemely poor game by Hughes tonight IMO. pushed off pucks easily, struggled with his possession, passing and was having passes and shots blocked. His shot is a muffin
Madden on the other hand looked great. has more than just btm 6 upside IMO.

I can't but think when the Leafs had two goalie prospects - Justin Pogge & Tuukka Rask - they made their decision to go with Pogge (and deal Rask) after this same tournament.

Totally agree. Hard to see it any other way.

Canadian goalies that do very well at the WJC have a history of sucking in the NHL. Price and Luongo are the only two that come to mind to have an excellent career.

The Swiss coach rocks. I hope he gets a job in the NHL one day.

 

[Zombotron]

I'm happy for you, Kazakhstan.

I can see Torts coaching against him swearing at him when the other (Swiss) coach's player does something dirty. The Swiss coach sincerely apologizes and asks forgiveness while agreeing that Torts has every right to be upset. Torts, wanting to continue his tantrum, is unable to process how to react therefore, Tort's head explodes.

Swiss Coach -" i hope we are eager and horny enough to win bronze"

Watched the last half of the Russia-USA game, and i'd have to say that Madden was more impressive than Quinn Hughes. The Canucks have a player here. Barely 5' 10" and 150 but plays way bigger.

A great skater who's relentless on the puck. Building on his freshman season at Northeastern with a great WJC.

Lou did well? Didn't he lose to Kazakhstan?

Seems like a genuine guy. I could care less if he yells at his players, especially younger ones in this day and age.

I was at that quarter final game where Rask put up a 51 save performance against the Swedes and had the Vancouver fans chanting his name

Classic leafs move

When I think of exCanuck players that really showed a noticeable impact at the tournament and basically flopped at the NHL, I think of Jim Sandlak. I thought, jeebus this guy is going to be GREAT once he dons that Canuck jersey. Sadly, it didn’t work out that way.

Only game they played in that tournament I can find they thumped Kazakhstan 12-2.

 

[Dr Good Vibes]

Omg Kostin plugs his ears as a celly after scoring to go up 3-1. Hilarious.

Kazakhstan 6 – Canada 3, the WJC game no one saw - Sportsnet.ca

...to be fair Lou only played the second half of the game but still...

Talented player but what a baby.

Then he played in 1999 as a starter and was the reason Canada went as far as they did. I am quite sure he stopped around 40 shots in the gold medal game and was the only reason the game was close.

Ah, I was looking at the 1999 tournament.

 

[PG Canuck]

Unfortunate Swiss couldn't get bronze.

 

[Nomobo]

Finland-USA should be a great game. Hope the Americans win but Finland’s disciplined system will take it, I think.

 

[PG Canuck]

Lets go Finland

 

[keslerburrows]

Great shift there for Quinn. He is so good at exiting his own zone.
