WJC: 2020 IIHF WM U20 D2B in Gangneung, KOREA (28.01. - 03.02.2020.)

[filip85]

Suprising win...this tournament already is far from my expectations (in positive way). Nice to see Troha rebounded with SO after miserable perfromances against Netherlands.

 

[ZT]

Korea - Israel
1/3 SOG 25:0

Only one goal scored by Korea...

 

[SoundAndFury]

Not like it matters at the end of the day but Israeli goalie is having the game of his life.

The game looks like a continuous PP for Korea, much like all Israel's games though.

 

[ZT]

Current standings:

1. Korea - 9 pts
2. Croatia - 6 pts
3. China - 6 pts
4. Netherlands - 6 pts
5. Belgium - 0 pts
6. Israel - 0 pts

 

[ozo]

I'm hoping for an epic three-way tie for the first place.

 

[Scouter]

Like I said, Korea's going up, they won't lose to China or Croatia.

They could easily lose to china. If you score only 5 goals in a 60min PP against israel, something in your offense is broken...

 

[SoundAndFury]

Considering how Korea seems to face more and more serious resistance makes me wonder if the schedule didn't do them a solid by having them play the Netherlands on the first day when jet lag inevitably played a part.

Anyway, Korea - Croatia is the game for gold, Croatia needs a rather unlikely regulation win.

 

[ZT]

If NED takes 6 points from their 2 remaining games and Croatia wins in regulation against KOR, there would be a three-way tie. Meaning: the better goal difference in the direct games amongst the tied teams will be decisive.

Oh yeah, so Korea is basically through. That's too bad, somewhat.

China can take points from NED, it's not impossible.

Really don't see that happening at this point... Maybe but really not getting my hopes up..

 

[filip85]

Why there are no more streams nor highlights ?!

The streaming company the tournament was using streamed Asia League game today rather than WJC. Probably their choice, simply.

No, Israel's goalie had a good game and it was not literally a 60 M PP.

Did you even watch the game? It was exactly that, 95% of Korea moving the puck but couldn't find theback of the net.

Goaltender had a very good game but he had before aswell.
If you're that much better, goaltending shouldn't be a huge factor. Croatia scored 16 and could've scored even more easily..

Korea proved that again by scoring 1 goal out of 40 shots against China.

Well, they will go up so in the end, who cares..

But it was still 5 on 5.

The goalie did not before, like you said Croatia scored 16 on him, and China put 12.

China's goalie had a great game clearly, Korea totally dominated otherwise.

Croatia might still win though, so who knows.

So you must be in Korea if you saw the CHN-SKR game without a stream, nice

It's a shame you obviously weren't in the stadium for China-Israel because Reisinger was awesome as soon as he came in, made some unbeliavable big saves in the last period.

 

[tony d]

Tomorrow's the final day for the tournament. Korea and Croatia should be a good game and could determine who gets promoted.

 

[crobro]

China’s right side d man is a definite prospect size ,skating ,stick handling and good hockey sense

probably the best player in the tournament

 

[crobro]

China defeats Holland 5-3

wow

 

[watchsmart]

The Israeli goalie is holding in there again.

I was at the arena for the game against Korea, and he made some really great saves, as scouter mentioned above.

 

[MikeCT]

Poor performance of the Dutch team. China deserved the win.

 

[SoundAndFury]

Well, China definitely did fans a solid making the final game into a real final.

 

[swissexpert]

Yeah, not even that suprised, China was playing better than their results say.

Croatia can defenitely win against Korea but I don't really see that happening.
