U18: 5-Nations Tournament, Sochi, Russia 5-9 feb

[Kshahdoo]

3-2 Czechs after the 1st

 

[Erikfromfin]

Czech lead 4-2 after 2nd period

Finns will make a comeback in third if goaltending hold up too much firepower not to. Dangler bros Puistola and Simontaival seem to have hot stick

 

[GettingYourMoms]

czech defense is as allways atrocious

 

[Renmar]

Czechs leads 6:2.... what's happening?

 

[FinPanda]

I saw some clip and looked like the Finns are just standing there doing nothing. Not sure what is up with them.

 

[theslatcher]

Teply got a hat-trick, and Muzik celebrated it more than he did lol.

Completely unable to move through the neutral zone with speed and numbers, and also completely unable to stop the Czechs from sauntering into high danger scoring areas.

They played a very fast paced game in the last U18 tournament. The team isn't that much different that. There must be something wrong with preparing the team to play.

 

[NotProkofievian]

Nice snipe by Aaltonen. Tieksola got the secondary assist, didn't see who got the primary.

 

[NotProkofievian]

Hattrick for Simontaival off a tip, I think.

edit: goal called back on a high stick.

 

[Swipes]

Pity these games are on around midday, would love to see the U-18 team in action.

 

[NotProkofievian]

Anyone have the Russian roster?

 

[VictorLustig]

The only positive after the 1st period from a Swedish perspective would be the 0-0 score. Russians are dominating but fortunately missing the net a lot. Grewe got smashed on the 1st shift trying to skate through 4 guys...

Raymond line has been in the offensive zone a few times but not generating much.

Russia U18 will compete at the Five Nations in Sochi

 

[Prntscrn]

Grewe is hitting pretty much everything there is to hit.

 

[theslatcher]

Pretty much only Alnefelt having a good game @ Sweden.

 

[VictorLustig]

Pretty much only Alnefelt having a good game @ Sweden.

Didn't watch the whole game but I can't remember seeing a single good Swedish scoring chance. Some shots from the outside and that's it.

 

[theslatcher]

Pretty meh period from Sweden. Holtz scored off Raymond's rebound on a 2-on-1 breakaway for the sole goal.

Zone entries need work, think it's more on the coaching than the players.

 

[theslatcher]

Nice shot by Holtz to go up 4-3

I believe he has a hat-trick now?

 

[theslatcher]

Holtz sealing the game with an empty netter for his fourth of the game. Final score: 7-5.

First international loss for the US NTDP group.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Yes! nice one boys!

 

[Prntscrn]

So 4 goals from Holtz and 2 from Björnfot, that's 6 Djurgården goals Who scored the 7th?

Is there an official website for this tournament anywhere?
