Sweden and USA take always these pre U20 WJC tournaments seriously.
Meanwhile we ( Finland ) take these games as a joke that's why our rosters suck.

Our roster sucks (this year) because we don't have many good players.

just got back from attending

Finland's roster is certainly not impressive but they played a very solid game today. 4-2 Finland final.

USA White couldn't hit the net with their shots. We'll see if that changes when the rust wears off.

This Finnish team is very bad. I think both US teams and Sweden will easily crush Finland.

I don´t remember that i have ever seen this guy writing anything positive about anything.

Ah, the yearly overreactions to the scoreboard in summer hockey exhibitions where the teams are focused on far more than just winning meaningless exhibitions. Go back and look at the WJSS results and you'll see how little correlation there is to the actual WJC. I did a breakdown at some point but HF search sucks.

Sweden was at the Showcase a week before it started.

I'm sure the staff is keenly focused on who's going to show they want to be at the front of the line to fill the void left by Cooley's likely absence. Nice to see Nazar stepping up so far. People sleep on him too much because of his injury plagued year.

Ok Sweden what was that? Are u "kommunalarbetare" Three watch, while one kind of work.

Some say you learn more when u loose then when u win. Then it cant be nothing more to learn now.

Seems like Perreault is having quite the tournament. Love to see it.

 

[theslatcher]

The WJSS stats guys sleeping on the job - they didn't add in stats for some players for one or two games. Case in point - they have Nazar with 1 goal and 1 assist in 2 games. He had 4 goals and 2 assists in the games that are missing from the stats. There are multiple players with the same issue.

It's a bug. If you click into the players you'll see their full stats. I think the issue is USAH switched some guys between the Blue and White teams today and now their prior stats with their original team are being wiped out by their stats from their new team from today.
