U18: Five Nations Tournament in Hämeenlinna, Finland (6-12 November)

almost unbearable to watch Finland game. Camera system captures about half the action. Saarelainen easily best Finn today.

Curious if anyone saw the game? Looks like US had a 53-25 shot advantage, so I'm wondering how Jack Parsons looked in net as he's been struggling mightily this season and his stats from today's game are pretty horrific.

I sprung to watch it without knowing the result. It was one of the most pathetic and unanticipated meltdowns I've seen from a US team at any level. I had almost stopped paying attention in the third only to be shocked by what occurred. Parsons was tragic.

Brutal indeed. The Swedes played like crap for 45 mins and were lucky it was only 6-1, then brain fart after brain fart allowed them to rally. NTDP talked a lot of shit from the bench. Humble pie.

The 6-6 goal was inexcusable and on the coach as much as Parsons. Had three forecheckers high with a one-goal lead and under a minute left. Parsons was good then morphed into Swiss cheese.

Surprisingly good performance against Finland, next two games performance.. not to be too critical, insufficient..?

USA team struggling to execute basic breakouts against SUI.

Makes Cole Hutson look good though, while others are out of sync & turning the puck over, he can just say 'screw it' & skate it out.
