GDT: Caps 2013 World Juniors Thread

First Barber goal was mostly Glachenyuk (he was basically carrying 3 defenders with him, tossed it to Barber for a tap in) but the second was a pretty nasty breakaway deke. Aided by the goalie being off balance, but a nice display of skill all around.

SUI-RUS has been an amazing game.

 

[Brad Tolliver]

Hot goalie.

 

[Langway]

America.

 

[brs03]

America.

First hockey game I have cared about in 7+ months. Nice job!

 

[brs03]

Forsberg with a nice snipe, although possible it was tipped (Forsberg's got credit for it for now).

 

[Carlzner]

Would be great if both Sweden and the US went to the gold medal game.

 

[Capagonia]

Sweden and Russia in OT

 

[brs03]

Admittedly I haven't followed the draft prospects closely this year, but is there any chance we can get Elias Lindholm or will he be a high draft pick?

He looks like a top 10, or even a top 5, pick right now.

Just watched the Sweden-Russia tilt and I must say, Forsberg is a tremendous talent. Big, fast, outstanding skill, offensive flair etc. It'll be interesting to watch him develop over the years. I don't think the Corey Perry comparisons are outlandish at all (sans the snarl quotient of course). His offensive skill-set reminds me of Perry's when he was younger and before he took his game to an MVP level.

He hasnt had a great tournament but he hasnt had a bad one either -- pretty much par for the course.
I'll take it.

Is Forsberg eligible for the 2014 WJC or is he past the cutoff? NHL announcers were saying a lot of complimentary things re: forsberg.

 

[brs03]

Pretty sure he's eligible... wasn't he among the youngest players in the draft, just barely eligible? He's still 18, no?

(EDIT: yeah, he's a '94)

 

[Hivemind]

Eligible? Yes.
Released by the Caps?

 

[HSHS]

Eligible? Yes.
Released by the Caps?

Pretty confident there will be NHL next year huh?

 

[Hivemind]

Nope. We're keeping him in the AHL, ala the Sens and Zibanejad.

 

[Langway]

Nichushkin with the OT winner for Bronze.

That was one hilarious tournament for Canada.

 

[mrwarden]

Anyone else watching?

 

[Capagonia]

Anybody know of any other streams besides NHL.com it's not working on my PS3 for some reason

 

[Langway]

Dangerous turnover by Forsberg. That's happened too often.

I'm not sure Sweden can keep up with the US.
