GDT: 2022 World Juniors Championship Part Deux

[PKs Broken Stick]

Pretty solid period from Luke. 0 mistakes defensively but also more passive than I'm used to seeing from him offensively.

When was the last time he played a competitive game of hockey? It has to be months. I’m sure he’s easing not it.

Hughes 1st period interview

-Happy to play for Country
-Wanted to pepper the goalie
-The goalie was making great saves
-Continue doing what they are doing

He seems pretty Winded during the interview. Either he really gives his all each shift or his endurance is a bit low and something he needs to work on.

Also it is his first game in a long while so it could be that he's just getting used to the pace again.

They are interviewing Luke now on nhl network. He doesn’t seem winded

 

[Emperoreddy]

That's kind of wild

They usually interview guys right after they exit the ice. Most guys are winded in those interviews.

My Merrill goal picture was way better

Spoiler

Luke Hughes goes from the point and skates toward the net and almost scores, Puck is high in the air and everyone wacks at it. American knocks it in but its a high stick.

Yeah that was real nice, more impressive than the goal imo I hope there's a replay somewhere

 

[Hisch13r]

lol It's not fair for the Germans. Luke is clearly multiple levels above

was it? It looked like the guy who tried to whack at it 2nd time missed.

 

[Emperoreddy]

I can't wait to see him in a Devils uniform.

I don’t know the junior rules but high stick is the shoulder if it’s not a goal and the crossbar if it’s a goal, in the NHL.

The pucks batted up high were not goals and were below the shoulder.

The goal still should not count due to incidental goalie interference, imo.

 

[Hisch13r]

Knies hits it the 2nd time. Depends on if it was a high stick for over the shoulderss because even though he didn't knock it in Coronato was the next to touch it and you can't high stick a puck to a teammate.

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

in that slow mo i just got it looks like he did touch it

 

[Xirik]

Its a goale!


Assist for Hughes

Getting challenged though

 

[Hisch13r]

GOAL! Goal and 2 assists with almost another assist that hit the crossbar. We're barely halfway through the game lol

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

Its a goale!


Assist for Hughes

seriously? I hate it when a review goes on for like 10 min and then it gets challenged...just so dumb.

 

[Hisch13r]

That did seem like he whacked the goalie in the head

 

[Xirik]

LOL


No goal!
