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

Yeah, Lysell is talented, but not sure about him either. I think I would take Chibrikov before him. Just a smarter player with the puck.

It stinks that Olausson is a november bday. He's the kind of player Montreal should draft. He's got some serious wheels for his size and a release reminescent somewhat Pettersson's.

He's pretty high on my list.

I've reconsidered my thoughts on Lysell. I mean he's in the Frolunda / Lulea system. One of the best systems in the world. You have to think they'll help him become a better player. His skating is elite / effortless. He's got great hands.

He's also playing in the SHL @ 17/18.

He's definitely worthy of a top 10 pick in this draft.

Chibrikov plays a very mature game already.

I like Olausson too.

Canada vs Switzerland at 9pm on TSN tonight.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Well, Montreal won their game, so checking in with Canada vs Switzerland.

3:02 left in 1st. 2-0 Canada.

They are just beginning a PP.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Ceulemans is back in, but Wright is not.

Guenther & Bedard have scored.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Clarke is so freaking good.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

PP killed by Swiss.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

End of 1. Canada 2-0.

Finland is beating Germany 5-0 after 1.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

So replays on the Canadian goals:

Guenther scores from left point on PP on a nice fake & pass by Clarke.

Bedard scores from slot off a pass from behind the net from Stankoven.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Pinelli scores. Rebound after a shot from Zellweger hit the post. Puck went right out to Pinelli.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

McTavish just dove. No call. Thank god. That was bad.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Othmann gets absolutely decked in front of the net. Interference. PP Canada.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Pinelli again. Pounces on a pass that hit a D's skate and comes right to him.

4-0.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Pinelli has a nice release. Very quick & hard.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Big save by Swiss goalie as Guenther was in all alone. A nice neat little pass by McTavish.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Del Mastro just plowed someone over, but hit high. PP Swiss. Charging.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

OMG, Swiss lose their PP because of too many men on the ice.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Canada PP after a bit of 4 on 4.

@MarkovsKnee , with the way you're carrying this thread, you'll be our main source come draft day!

End of 2, 4-0 Canada.

Swiss have a 16 year old D named Lian Bischel. He plays in all situations, is already a big guy, 6'5, is a strong skater, good puck mover. Think Hamrlik type.

Kid is a 2022. That's going to be a DEEP draft. Maybe a 2003. The kind of draft that will change the fortunes of a franchise.

We can't f*** it up again.

Lol

In years past, this thread has usually been really active. A lot of the so called draft junkies on this board have other things to do this year, I guess.

Just trying to keep people informed.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Guenther is a pure shooter, sniper. His release, shot, accuracy are all NHL worthy. He's a volume shooter too. He's a finisher.

He finishes off others play action, and finds open space/ice, knows where the soft spots are. He has the kind of shot that he can score from the perimeter.

But, he's not particularly involved in other aspects of the game. There's zero physical involvement. He tends to glide a lot.

Still, if you want a pure goal scorer. Well, that's what he is. Ducks should draft him. He & Zegras should be dynamite together.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Ok 3rd period.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Stankoven backchecks to break up a 2 on 1.

Then steals a puck. Gets in on a breakaway. Save.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Swiss goalie Mathieu Croce has been good. He's stopped several breakaways and open shots by Canada.
