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

[MarkovsKnee]

Oh man Poltapov just stole the puck again! Russians jam the front of the net. US survives.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

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

He looks like Danault. Lol

 

[robert ethan]

He looks like Danault. Lol

So we draft him to take over from Phil?

 

[MarkovsKnee]

6-6! Svechkov with a beauty play & pass to Miroshnichenko! Scores his 2nd. A nice redirect into an empty net.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

He's definitely Russia's #1C. PP, PK, takes a lot of faceoffs. Didn't do much else this game though until a couple of minutes ago.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

OT. Russia came back from 5-1 down to tie the game 6-6.

5 minute 3 on 3 overtime.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Chibrikov scores in OT. Lol

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Not a good goal, but Chibrikov went end to end and turned Pastujov.

Chibrikov, Poltapov & Svechkov are legit.

Of the 2022s, I liked both Miroshnichenko & Yurov, although Michkov is incredibly skilled. Miro & Yurov were very involved in puck battles, big & physical. Both can skate. They were just more involved overall. Michkov was opportunistic & is dangerous with the puck on his stick.

Team USA, meh. Only player I really liked was Duke. Feisty, competitive, Gallagher type except as a center.

Behrens was their best D and he's small, but he handled the big Russians fine.

Svechkov I wouldn't take in 1st. 2nd for sure. He's a Danault/ROR type.

I really want us to swing on Chibrikov. He's got high end upside in a draft that doesn't feature many of these and if we can get him to Bouchard vs. a Lefebvre?

He missed 12 minutes of the game off a dumb elbowing penalty which could have been called for a headshot. Got 2 & 10, but definitely has the speed, 2-way play and loves to shoot. Didn't see any noticeable playmaking, but it's one game.

Canada - Sweden tonight is on TSN.

Armchair scouts' dreams come true tonight. Almost too many notables to actively track, this might prove a rewatch candidate.

One of the Swedes I'm interested in is Victor Stjernborg (C). Thought we could grab him with Chicago's 3rd round pick, but he's moved up to early to mid second on majority of lists.

Obviously tons of other players too.

Stjernborg isn't on the team,I believe.

Svechkov may not be on the board when their first pick comes up.

 

[WeThreeKings]

I got some time for Heimosalmi on the back end here.. excellent footwork and hands, some offenisve upside in this RD

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Where do you think Montreal is going to pick? Don't think Svechkov goes top 20

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Svechkov with 2 consecutive penalties in OT vs Finland.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Lambert is gonna be good, you can tell just by the way he skates and carries the puck. Head is always up.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Finland - Russia going to shootout.

 

[WeThreeKings]

The next Andrei Kostitsyn?

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Finland wins in shootout.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

The next Andrei Kostitsyn?

Belarus destroyed Switzerland 7-1, and he had a hattrick. Interested to see him play now.
