GDT: 2023 World Junior Championship Thread (Clarke, Connors, Salin)

[Surf Nutz]

The US did a good job contain Bednar after his goal, what they couldn't contain was the IIHF officials. You can't look at this outcome and think they didn't directly affect the results.

Wow Colorado's coach?
Drink!

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

Only a goal, an assist, and a handful of blocked shots for Clarke tonight, shame that he sucks

 

[kingsfan28]

6-2 is the final score. And if having a goal called back is enough to break their back, then they don't deserve a gold medal match anyway.

Just think how livid canada would be if it were reversed.

 

[Surf Nutz]

Nice to see Kenny Connors player of the game.
And Clarke in the finals on a good performance.

I'm sure they would be especially at their own team. USA only showed up for 20 minutes.

 

[kingsfan28]

Nice to see Kenny Connors player of the game.

He played good. Nice drive to the net for the goal. Both him and Clarke scored, plus an assist.

 

[Mats26]

Nice bounce back game for Clarke.

Can't Clarke is gonna look pretty good on a roster with Quittin Bustfield and Alex Turquit

Gonna confuse this board more than Doughty's Norris or the 2012 Kings' run.

They're just waiting to be good until after Kopitar, Doughty, and Quick retire so the contingent here who say we should've traded the older core after 2014 can say I told you.

You mean Burnt Choke with Alex Tourniquet

Brandt is obviously very raw, and needs a fair bit of polish, but he has the tools & the toolbox both.

I’m pretty damned excited to see him join the kings full time to play the PK on his off side for 12 minutes a game, while Blake Lizotte & Drew Doughtys dentures QB the power play units.

Good one.

 

[SaltyElkHunter]

I feel like Clarke gets this. He’s gonna be alright!

 

[King'sPawn]

Bruins prospect Fabian Lysell kicked from the game, and USA has a 5-minute powerplay after a hit to the head of Kenny Connors.

USA's Brindley takes a holding penalty 5 seconds into the major powerplay.

 

[ru4reals]

Let's go Team U.S.A!!! Rather win bronze than lose for Silver!!! Would be a successful tourney in my books if we can get a medal.

 

[King'sPawn]

2-0 USA

 

[King'sPawn]

Well, it was 1-0 USA after 1. Now it's 5-5 with less than a minute to go in the second.

Lack of focus and discipline from everyone. Particularly the 5th Sweden goal.

Up 2-0 tied 3-3. Up 5-3 tied 5-5. Just dont' deserve it if they can't hold on to leads. Ouch.

Edit: As I type now down 6-5. Sheesh.

Blake Lizotte could have skated in between Augustine and the post. So much room for that shot.

 

[Jericho111091]

some of the main board takes on Clarke are hilarious

 

[King'sPawn]

7-7. As exciting as it is embarrassing.

 

[Steve Zissou]

Chaz Lucius.

What a great f***ing name right there.

 

[King'sPawn]

Chaz Lucius wins it for USA.

One of my favs from the 2021 draft. Had him in my top-10 and Winnipeg got him at 18.

 

[Fat Elvis]

How'd Connors look? Who's his game similar to?

 

[lumbergh]

Chaz Lucius.

What a great f***ing name right there.

That's on a team with a Jimmy Snuggerud, Rutger McGroarty, and a Cutter Gauthier. If that's not an All-Star Team of names I don't know what is.
