HF Habs: 2021 U-18 Tournament (4-26 to 5/6): Thurs. May 6 | Canada wins Gold! Defeat Russia 5-3

[MarkovsKnee]

1st period over. US dominated pretty much. Russia didn't look good at all.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Sasha Pastujov actually had a really good intermission interview. Pre-taped.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

US scores again. 4-1. Another D scores joins the rush. Ethan Straky.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Milan Hejduk's son is also on Team USA (Marek). He's a 2022.

Of course, the captain is Redmond Savage the son of former Canadien Brian Savage. He's 2021.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Russia changes their goalie.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Russia takes another dumb penalty.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Pastujov scores on PP.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Lane Hutson has been good for team USA too. He's a D, a 2022 & is 5'6.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Michkov just scored. 5-2.

Pounced on a rebound.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Chibrikov scores off a toe drag and shot. 5-3.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Poltapov just had a beastly forechecking shift. Absolutely exhausted the US D and drew a PP.

Russia PP.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Geezus what a shot by Michkov! Damn.

5-4. Beautiful release.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Dylan Duke scores again. 6-4.

Kid is very Gallagher-esque.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Apparently, St. Louis's kid is 5'10. Seriously, he looks 5'2. Also, he plays with Hejduk's son.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

St. Louis takes a dumb off the puck penalty in the neutral zone. PP Russia.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Russia scores. 6-5.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Ivan Miroshnichenko scored. 2022. One timer in the Ovechkin spot.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

A little brouhaha in the corner after Russia takes a shot after the whistle for off-side. 4 on 4.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

2nd ends. Much better period by Russia. Wide open hockey. Kids are just going for it.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Liam Gilmartin looks 25. Apparently, he's 18.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Well, here we go. 6-5 USA.

Oh man Yurov just made some moves to get a breakaway. Big save Homer.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

4 on 3 for USA. They were playing 4 on 4 but Russia takes an interference penalty.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Now 5 on 4.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Poltapov just had another relentless forechecking shift. He's a beast below the goal line. Set up Svechkov, who missed the net from, like, 3 feet.

Lol, I was just going to ask how Svechkov looks.
