Wonder if this is where Benak is! He should be at U18 camp IMO.

 

[Sanz4]

We have only won 2 of our last 7 games i think vs the top nations.. Seems like Zetterberg is levels above the rest but Lucas Pettersson has rised the past months, 19 Points in 29 J20 games in not so bad when looking at the rest of the 06 forwards..

Sterner - Zetterberg - Hesselvall
Nordlund - Pettersson - Zetterlund
Berglund - Eriksson - Eklund
Toresson - Holst - Crookes
Jarbsjö

Frej - Sahlin Wallenius
Olsson - Sigurd
Stadin - Sjöqvist
Gustavsson

Head Coach:
Kauppinen Marko


So both Marila and Vesterinen from last U18 tournament are here that would signal neither made the U18 World Champs. Also notably Mitja Jokinen and Julius Miettinen missing together with the usual suspects Kiviharju, Väisänen, Muhonen, Helenius would signal they made the team. Nykyri missing too but I doubt he made the U18 team.

Galvas is therefore out of the U18. I hate that fool Petr.

You lost galvas for U18 and sklenicka for WC in same day.

The loss of Sklenička is actually a win I see it exactly the opposite with Galvas..

Wait till badinka and skok make the roster!

 

[Goodman68]

Wait till badinka and skok make the roster!

It is almost certain that Badinka will be nominated. I criticized him, he didn't play well the last time, after all, he was written about as a player from the first two rounds of the draft. And then a person has different standards. But unlike Galvas, he's 05, he's older.. As for Skok, I haven't seen him play, so I won't be negative or sarcastic about him. Anyway, I'm surprised he's still on the team, I didn't know him at all a few months back and I really didn't expect him to get priority over Galvas. But then it's Petr and that's enough as an explanation

Galvas was probaly deemed not ready physically, same with Benak. That being said, in the little I have seen of Galvas in Extraliga, he already did quite well for an undersized defenseman, no reason to think he couldn't handle the U18s in some sheltered role. Instead, we will get to see some manchild with zero skills on the bottom pair...

I think the same. There will probably be someone like Matějíček. No creative skills, just kilograms and centimeters in action. And Petr explains it by saying that everyone will have their own tasks in the team

His task is to look big.

Will Benak join team Czech?

Will Benak join team Czech?

Probably no one knows now. He is playing the final of the U17 league . They are losing 0:3 in matches. If they lose even one more match, it is possible that he will actually join the team. If they win, it's unlikely.

Today I went to watch the match Sweden - Finland. Unfortunately, Tre Kronor lost and you can't say it wasn't undeserved. Sweden was slightly better in the first two periods, in the third period Laring had far more work than Saarinen on the other side.

I was disappointed by the play of the defense, I didn't see any defender there who had good offensive instincts, twice the defender even fell all by himself, without contact with the opponent. I really liked how the attackers helped the defense, several times it looked like the Finns would get away with them 3vs2 or 2vs1, but the timely return of the attacker meant that the opponent didn't even shoot.

Of course I was interested in Zetterlund, William Eklund's brother Victor and Toresson. You probably stood out the most from the whole team. I think Olsson or Holst Persson, one of them got a five minute penalty when he hit an opponent and it was classified as a blow to the head or neck area. On the other hand, a Finnish player also received a minor penalty, but only for two minutes, because the Swede was not on the ice and went to the substitute himself.
